Courtesy of Brad Domitrovich of PR Zealot this press release was done to share the musical knowledge of the awesome Demetrio Scopelliti at The Noiz Faktory.
A huge THANK YOU to Brad for his time, effort and willingness to lend a hand.
If anyone needs a great public relations guy that is always on top of things this is the man to contact.
During those days both at Namm and at the Noiz Faktory recording studio I had the pleasure to get to know Gina "G" Osmar, a very young talented drummer from Georgetown. She made a killer version of my opening track: "SL8". Here's the recording. The video will be out soon.
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.
