Relocator (prog / fusion metal) w/ guest Derek Sherinian

Post by Hedonic Pattern »

Relocator - http://www.myspace.com/relocatorproject

Gen: instrumental progressive fusion metal

Tara de origine: multinationala (3 din Germania, 1 din Olanda + 1 guest USA)

Componenta:

Stefan Artwin - guitars, programming
Michael Pruchnicki - bass, fretless bass
Frank Tinge - drums, percussion
Bartek Strycharski - electric violin
Special guest: Derek Sherinian - all keyboards

Official bio:

Relocator was founded in the summer of 2004 and was originally envisioned as a "full" live band. Never managing to maintain a stable complete lineup for long, four years and several personnel changes later the band self-destructed in late 2008.

But the music lived on. In early 2009 original founding members Stefan Artwin (guitar and programming) and Michael Pruchnicki (bass) decided to revive Relocator as a project to finally finish the songs they had worked on for so long. The result is a multi-national endeavour: Joining them on the first Relocator album are Bartek Strycharski (electric violin), new talent Frank Tinge from the Netherlands (drums) and special guest star Derek Sherinian from the USA (all keyboards).

Relocator (self-titled) – 2010 / Poate fi cumparat direct de la trupa aici: http://www.relocator-project.com/index2.php?m=40

Albumul de debut are 8 piese. Acestea sunt destul de lungi ca durata, dar au o individualitate clar definita, cu teme puternice si usor de memorat.
Improvizatia este la locul ei, in special in zona solo-urilor de chitara, vioara si clapa (Derek Sherinian fiind maestru la acest capitol).
Vioara apare pe 3 piese si prin interventiile sale (tip Jerry Goodman sau Jean Luc Ponty) da o nota si mai mare de originalitate trupei.
Pe album sa gasesc toate elementele consacrate ale stilului fusion / progressive / metal : riffuri complexe si agresive, bass fretless, clape (manuite de catre Derek Sherinian), pattern-uri de tobe interesante, solo-uri inspirate din zona shred / fusion, masuri compuse, ruperi de ritm, abordare modala, etc… .
Per total, un album excelent si cu toate ca este self-released, productia este ireprosabila.
Daca va plac trupe gen Planet X, Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Gordian Knot, Cynic, etc…

Albumul este pus la streaming pe pagina lor de myspace :

Pe DEREK SHERINIAN l-am vazut cu ochii mei cu Billy Idol pe scena la Belgrad pentru ca face parte din trupa lui Billy. Citez "In 2002 Derek was invited to join Billy Idol’s band and has remained a member ever since. Sherinian says of Billy, “He is a true star frontman, there are not many left. People love him, and I am proud to back him up on stage.” sursa http://billyidol.net/ ...Habar nu aveam ca si-a facut trupa :?: de altfel ,e foarte talentat tipul "“Derek Sherinian is the Caligula of keyboards” – Alice Cooper''

Slash, Derek Sherinian, Billy Idol.. - In the Summertime

Imi pare bine, Derek este un instrumentist si compozitor extraordinar, dar Relocator nu este trupa lui, aici fiind doar invitat.

El are 2 trupe de baza :

Derek Sherinian (solo) / 6 albume, unde abordeaza o paleta destul de larga de stiluri, dar cu baza in metal progresiv majoritar instrumental. Aici el compune toata muzica si are ca invitati muzicieni de clasa mondiala gen Yngwie Malmsteen, Al di Meola, Rusty Cooley, Brett Garsed, Allan Holdsworth, Al di Meola, Zakk Wylde, Tony Franklin, Billy Sheehan, Simon Phillips, Jerry Goodman, Virgil Donati, etc… , cu parti special compuse pentru acestia.

Planet X / 3 albume (+1 solo) unde compune alaturi de exceptionalul tobar Virgil Donati si avand la chitara pe Tony Macalpine (primele 2 albume + cel live) si pe al 3-lea pe Brett Garsed (7 piese) si Allan Holdsworth (2 piese). Abordarea este una pur instrumentala, in zona progressive fusion metal. Trupa canta live si se simte din plin omogenitatea grupului in compozitii… (au fost si in Romania in 2001).

De mentionat este si prezenta sa in Dream Theater pe 2 albume (1 de studio si 1 live) si pe 1 EP in perioada 1994-1998. Din pacate el nu a reusit sa-si aduca aportul creativ, acesta iesind la suprafata dupa plecarea sa din trupa prin cele 2 proiecte mai sus mentionate.

Imi pare bine ca gasesc aici pe cineva care il apreciaza pe Derek Sherinian. Putem extinde discutia noastra aici, in ceea ce priveste acest tip de muzica, progressive / fusion / instrumental / rock / metal. Am cunostinte destul de vaste :P in ceea ce priveste acest stil si daca esti interesat de mai multe detalii sau trupe… zi-mi si-ti raspund cu placere :).

Iar in ceea ce priveste declaratia lui Alice Cooper, mi mi se pare chiar mai mult decat un "Caligula al clapelor" :).
