In search for “Truth”

Collaborating with plenty of musicians from different genres, we wrote a progressive rock opera dealing with different aspects of truth.

How did write a song with 8 people that show our individual strengths and still sounds like a collaboration? Everything started with a piano theme and a couple of chords I provided for the group. Everybody could write new parts or record whatever instrument. Our group consists of multiple musicians coming from pop, rock, metal, ambient and soundtrack. So I decided to leave the genre open and let people do whatever they like. The individual parts and melodies were arranged into a 10-minute progressive rock epic. The song consists of several chapters with musical themes and lyrics that all deal with the search for truth.

You can listen to and download our song on Myownmusic (German), SoundCloud or YouTube. The full credits are available in my discography of side projects.

It’s been my first time to work in such a big group and letting ideas flow. In the end, I could not even say who wrote which part or which instrument, because everybody added something to the project and pushed it into their direction. I was the arranger and producer, but I also authored some parts. The whole group did a good job in composing, improvising and recording. Thank you so much for being part of the project. We learned a lot about ourselves, both musically and personal. This won’t be our last project, for sure!
