GEORGE BELLAS To Commence Recording Of New Album
November 4, 2010, 13 years ago
Guitarist GEORGE BELLAS has recently composed a new, as yet untitled album that is chock-full of "epic themes, rich harmonic underpinnings, intricate rhythms and advanced forms." Recording is scheduled to commence in November 2010. As with Bellas' latest release, The Dawn Of Time, Marco Minnemann will once again be laying down the drum tracks. Further details regarding this new album will be revealed through progress reports during the production process. "Prepare for some exquisite romanticism."
All parts for the entire album have been scored and are now just waiting to be recorded. The music is heavily immersed in romanticism and is moulded using complex developmental forms that have not appeared on previous releases. Some pieces are of short to moderate length, while others are just under or exceed the ten minute mark. The album has a total running time of approximately 80 minutes.
Much of the thematic material on this upcoming release "was developed within very elaborate forms. The melodies were of utmost importance and much focus was devoted to developing them through various composing techniques. The harmonic schemes are colourfully rich and diverse. And of course, the unique rhythms used are a recognizable staple of George's style."
