THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY

Hello, Dear friends! As one modern composer said: "Music is not... "light", "heavy", etc. It can be only good or bad." Some time ago, the new album of the project Compassionizer "The Fellowship of the Mystery" was released. The musical style of this album is chamber prog-rock. This is the 4th full-length album of the project. The author of the idea and music is Ivan Rozmainsky, like of the Roz Vitalis band. Some of the musicians who took part in the creation of this new album have also been permanently involved in the recording of Roz Vitalis albums for a long time, with the sound of which the new album of Compassionizer has a certain similarity, but its unique feature is that on it you will hear a special version of the harpsichord - a spinet, which was made according to the model of the spinet of the Italian master of 1710. Another important instrument that gives the music a special "ethnic" sound is the rubab, a plucked Asian instrument. The instrument from the Republic of Uzbekistan took part in the recording of the album. In general, listening to this album you can enjoy the sound of different instruments, including rare instruments which you may not hear from others. Also, many interesting special effects were used on the album. A few words about how this album Compassionizer was created, as well as the previous ones. This album is a remote creation of musicians. First, Ivan Rozmainsky recorded all the system-forming keyboard parts with the main melodies and chord sequences. Then this material was sent to a musician living in another country, who recorded drums, percussion (including Asian "doira"), bass and guitars, as well as rubab. After that, the modified material was sent to the bass clarinetist, and then to the clarinetist. After all these recordings, guest musicians joined in on individual compositions. In total, 4 musicians who are the core of project and 6 invited musicians who took part in the recording of the album. A little about the compositions. Listening the first track "To Abound And To Suffer Need" you can hear the development of the main musical theme throughout the composition, a skillful interweaving of solo instruments: electric guitar, bass clarinet, clarinet. They are very pleasantly echoed by the accompaniment. A romantic melody, a little melancholic. The second track "Avenge Not Yourselves" is also melancholic and leisurely, it is like a continuation of the first. In the third track "To Direct Your Hearts Into The Love" you can enjoy beautiful female vocals and guitar strumming! The fourth composition "I Feel Shine Of The Day" is a real masterpiece. Do you feel the rays of the August or September sun descending to the earth? And you can also imagine that we are in Ancient China. The instruments and special effects used, as well as the non-standard rhythm of the drums immerse us in that reality. The fifth piece "For Them Who Shall Be Heirs Of Salvation" is calm and graceful, a kind of "narrative", "reflection on the theme of our life". At the end you can hear virtuoso violin playing, where high single notes turn into a controlled "cacaphony". In the sixth piece "For The Invisible Things" you can really feel something invisible. As in the previous track you can hear the violin, but it is lyrical and beautiful. You can also note the interesting drums, rhythm, sometimes marching. Only the musical genius of the composer and musicians can combine lyrical violin and march! Almost 22-minute seventh piece, which bears the name of the album "The Fellowship of the Mystery" completes the album, it is very diverse, it is like a rock symphony. But, perhaps, I will not write anything more, I just suggest you get acquainted with it and find what is yours. As one modern composer said: "Music is not... "light", "heavy", etc. It can only be good or bad". In my opinion, the new Compassionizer album "The Fellowship Of The Mystery" is good music! I invite you all to listen to it!
