Band bio:


Rodrigo San Martín (born 8/14/88) is an Argentinian multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, best known as the founder, lead guitarist and main songwriter of progressive rock band De Rien. He's involved in a duet with guitarist Juan Manuel Torres called Souls Ignite and a solo career.


He works a style that blends Progressive Rock, Pop/Rock, Funk/Rock, Classical music, Ambient and Jazz fusion.

His music is often elaborate and complex in nature, featuring elements such as complex time signatures and dynamic contrast, but always with a strong melodic develpment. As a guitar player he stands out for his style, a blend between jazz scales and improvisation played with a rock feeling, and his acoustic guitar playing, highly influenced by Classical Guitar.

He's debut album is a concept piece simply named "1" which consists of an album length song composed, played in every instrument, produced, mixed and mastered by himself. It's a landmark in Argentinian rock by being the first album to be available for 5.1 Surround sound. The album's lead single is called Phase 7.

At the same time, De Rien's and Souls Ignite's debut albums are in the recording process and will be released independently during the first half of 2010.

I recommend Demians! French prog rock.

Thanks for your "I recommend" but it should be better with links to official website, Myspace or anything else that is usefull to discover music...

hi, im a lover of "Prog rock Andaluz" and i have fast all of this kind of prog music.
it's a kind of symphonic rock, with influence of  the flamenco music and arabic sounds, like medina azahara, amadablan, azabache, azahar, cai, gualdaquivir, mezquita, paco ventura, serafad, triana,alameda, etc.

i found another group with just one released CD, called "ARABIGA", a nice symphonic rock CD.
I suggest to add this group also in prog. arch.

at the same time, i ask if its posible to join all these "andaluz prog rock" groups in a new subgenre, because all of them are born in the same time (1980 and up), related one with another.

sorry for my bad english...my spanish is a lot better.

Nemrud has been established in late 2008 in Istanbul by Mert Göçay, Harun Sönmez, Aycan Sarı, Alpaslan Altun and Adil Giyici none of who were professionally engaged in music business. Till the current formation of the group was settled there had been several changes in the composition of band members. Within this period the group, members of which are given below has started with weekly studio tests and eventually ended up with the first conceptual “Progressive Rock” album of Turkey.

 

Mert Göçay (Guitar – Voice Vocal)

Harun Sönmez (Percussion)

Aycan Sarı (Bas Guitar)

Özgür Kayalar (Drum)

 

Frank Bornemann, the founder of the Eloy, a legend Progressive Rock and a close firend of Mert Göçay band has inspired the band for the sound used in the album. Closely motinoring the processes of the band. Nemrud’s current sound naturally shows reflections of the legendary bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Eloy, King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Camel, which group members had been listening for many years.

 

Nemrud has gone beyond the Turkish standard rock or popular line-chorus structure songs and pushed the technical and composition limits of rock music. Besides, there are classic, jazz and avantgarde components in their compositions. The album shows the general characterictics of Progressive Rock such as changing melodies and rythms, refrains from repetition, conceptual and abstract lyrics. The admiration of the band for the golden era of Progressive Rock; 70s reflects itself in the epical story used in the album.

 

Mert Göçay has wrote the lyrics and made the composition of “Journey of The Shaman”, 3 episodes to base the album inspired by the fantastic story about Turkish mythology written by Aycan Sarı. Harun Sönmez has completed the conseptual design of the album booklet.

 

There are 3 songs in the album which tells the story of the pysical and spiritual journey of “Mitos”, a Shaman living in the steps of Central Asia, upon the message he received from the other world. These three songs represent the three kingdom in Shamanism belief.

 

According to the shamanism, there is a direct axis attaching directly the “Ground” where people live on, the “Underground” where dead people move to, and the “Sky” in spiritual meaning. This axis takes place between the middle of the ground and the middle of the sky. There are 7 layers in the underground and sky kindgoms. Any shaman to reach to the sky for any reason first has to go under to the underground, hence noone can reach up to the sky without passing through the underground.
