Tuomas Holopainen - the keyboardist and main songwriter of Nightwish - has spent most of 2013 writing and producing his solo album. The whole album is based on a graphic novel called THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK, written and illustrated by Dan Rosa. This 12 chapter book tells the story of a certain Scrooge, from his early years in the 19th century Scotland to his adventures all around the world until the 1960s. The story contains such immense depth, detail, wit and emotional power, that the moment Tuomas read it nearly 20 years ago; it instantly became a story of profound personal interest and love for him. The initial idea of creating a kind of soundtrack for the book came to him in 1999 and has ever since been haunting the back of his mind. The album was written and produced by Tuomas Holopainen and will contain 10 songs, with a total duration of approximately 60 minutes. The music will be of soundtrack / classical / folk genre in the vein of Vaughan Williams, Michael Nyman, James Newton Howard and Enya.
