Very early in the process of writing Steven Wilson Footprints, it became clear that much more material would come together during the research, which affected other projects of Steven. Therefore, the decision was made to publish three volumes.
Footprints III, the final volume of the internationally-renowned Footprints series, concludes its unrivalled examination of the art of Steven Wilson. This final piece of the triad offers an unprecedented study of Wilson's diverse contributions to the lush aural tapestries of no-man, the emotional pop of Blackfield and the graceful dissonance of Storm Corrosion. Like its predecessors, Footprints III is a richly-illustrated compendium presented in astonishing detail.
Each chapter opens with an oral history, heavily informed with contemporary quotes from Steven and his associates. An extensively-vetted timeline follows, populated by an exhaustive database of printed and digital media, coupled with thousands of visual contributions and artefacts from artistic collaborators, designers, photographers and collectors.
Details of these collaborations are complemented by an overview of his contributions, both in the studio and on stage. Once again, the narrative is supplemented by an unparalleled discography, informed by multiple illustrations of each entry.
To reiterate, the Footprints trilogy has been created by fans, for fans. It has been designed to provide an unmatched view of the incredibly varied and extensive work of Steven Wilson. Readers can expect to discover new details about releases and their historical context, as well as accounts of live performances.
Coming soon – late in 2024 or early 2025. Please do not donate to Footprints III until we communicate the (upcoming) publication on our social media channels or here.
