Well it looks like my days of anonymity are numbered. Unfortunately due to the rules of the Coldplaying forum I am unable to keep the vivalavidasuite account from my usual account. Hopefully these posts won't also disappear (this thread especially). If so please know that you have all made my week with the kind warm words you have made about this project I worked on passionately for a year. It's because of people like all of you that artists do what they do. And for that I thank you.

I'm so in.

Apparently this got moved to "the instrument room"... where people normally post sheet music and the like... I'm not complaining but just a bit confused as it seemed much more appropriate in the "remix" section of the forum.

It's sir ;) I'll probably reveal my identity one of these days (been here for many years though by no means one of the major posters or anything like that). I'm just trying to keep it anonymous for now to help keep the buzz going. I find that this sorta stuff has more legs if no one is actually out there trying to take credit for it.

You, and the rest of you with all your kind words have made my very stressful day (stupid work) all the better too. And if I may be a pest, if you're on Tumblr please, please, reblog the post to help spread the love. http://www.vivalavidasuite.com/post/33689168687/deathandallhisfriendssuite

I like to think so too. This album was so orchestral, it was surprisingly easy to turn it into an orchestral suite. in fact, this whole project started life as an instrumental suite -- could I turn it into something like a real orchestral suite would be. However as I got further and further into editing it became more and more clear there was a story that I could tell. It eventually evolved into what you hear today. Viva La Vida is a masterpiece, and a highly underrated one. I hope that this helps draw attention to what a masterpiece it really is.

Thanks for posting busybeeburns! Hopefully now people will be more inclined to check it out.

It's a complete re-work of the album. It changes the order of tracks, creates new transitions, extends certain tracks, and also includes all new sound design segments. It's not really a remix in the traditional sense but couldn't think of where else to put it. Again im not able to actually share the links yet (I'm a "new" member because I registered a new account for this sole purpose, but I have been a coldplayer for years now) but everything (soundcloud, youtube, FLAC/MP3 downloads) can be found at vivalavidasuite.com -- a special site I set up specifically for sharing. I *KNOW* Coldplayers are going to love this and really want them to hear it. Hopefully a moderator will fix my account soon (or other Coldplayers will share the love). And reddit seems to really like it so far... Someone was kind enough to post to the /r/coldplay board where the reception has been very warm (and appreciated)

Would be a lot easier if I could post links...

vivalavidasuite.com (I'm not yet allowed to post links because I'm a "new" member) Available as both FLAC/MP3. I've been working on this project for almost a year now, undergoing over 12 different mixes, remixes, additions and subtractions until finally coming to this final edition. It is my tribute to Coldplay's masterpiece. Please settle down and take a listen and pass along to your friends and other fans. (and in case you were wondering: yes, I am a long time member here but decided to stay anonymous for the time being, and for the sake of the project)
