Hey Peeps, today is a great day.. 🇮🇹🎊⚽️🎸🙂
This is a new video/guitar playthrough of a revisited version of a «classic» of mine titled «Immortal Portrait», I re-styled the song a bit, adding more orchestrations and making the production more modern and in line with my most recent works.. 😉
The studio mix will be available on the main streaming services asap (and maybe as a bonus track on the next forthcoming album, perhaps..)
And here we go with the Live Guitar Playthrough of «Keep Your Eyes Closed», 2021 Revisited Version..
The studio version will be soon available on the main music streaming services..
The original studio version is available on the «Evolution» EP and the full length album «The Art Of Complications».
All guitars played and reamped through Euphoria and SS-11x plug ins by Mercuriall Audio..
In the last couple of weeks I worked on a revisited version of some of my past works. I felt like some of those songs needed an upgrade and I decided to edit them in order to make those tracks sounding more in line with my recent productions..
This is «Grey», first «instrumental solo» song ever written and now wearing a new «outfit»..😉
I re-recorded all the instruments by myself and did some guitar improvisation here and there.. The studio version of this song will be soon available on the major streaming platforms. All guitars played through Mercuriall Audio’s SS-11X (Rhythm) and Euphoria (Leads) Plug Ins..
About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date. Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4). The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.
The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.
First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
