PROG ENSEMBLE IAMTHEMORNING’S VIRTUOSO PIANIST GLEB KOLYADIN RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘GLIMMER’

THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE RELEASED FROM HIS UPCOMING ALBUM MOBULA (28^TH FEBRUARY 2025)

Revered pianist and one half of atmospheric prog duo Iamthemorning Gleb Kolyadin returns today with the first single from his new solo album Mobula (28^th February). The track, titled ‘Glimmer’, introduces new styles and folk elements for Gleb, taking listeners on a journey through cosmic landscapes, shifting times of day, and deep space, where imagination transforms the ordinary.

‘Glimmer’ is brought to life by a mesmerizing, handcrafted animation by https://vimeo.com/user1486275" rel="nofollow - Natalia Ryss . Known for her work with Max Cooper, Ryss’ stunning video, crafted frame by frame over three months using different techniques like rotoscoping, perfectly mirrors the track's otherworldly charm and adds a visual depth to the ethereal quality of the music.

Drawing from poloniumcubes - Gleb's vast music diary of over 500 tracks - Mobula unfolds as a suite of 14 short stories, each one a vibrant novella in sound. It’s a sci-fi-inspired odyssey that captures the spirit of grace and exploration, embodied by the album’s titular oceanic creature. From neoclassical elegance to pulsating electronic beats & folk textures, Mobula traverses genres and emotions, mirroring the movements of an imaginary planet and its ever-changing atmospheres.

Mobula marks Gleb Kolyadin’s first album fully conceived and produced in the UK, following his relocation two years ago under a Global Talent visa. The album, mixed and mastered by Vlad Avy, blends rich folk and ethnic influences with electronic rhythms. Central to Mobula’s vibrant sound is the contribution of percussionist Evan Carson, a notable figure in the folk scene, whose work on almost all the tracks added an exuberance and dynamism to the rhythmic palette.

Adding to the album’s distinct character is the enchanting resonance of a 100-year-old Broadwood grand piano that was used throughout the recording process. Captured by engineers Marcel van Limbeek (Tori Amos) and Gianluca Capacchione (Max Meser), the piano brings a timeless, organic warmth to the compositions, contrasting beautifully with the album’s modern production techniques.
