Poetica in Silentio in 3 releases, by request






The discogs page does not sound promising, describing each of the 3 albums with the genres hip hop, jazz, rock. It's as if someone thought it would be a funny joke, but of course it's not since it misdirects folks who might otherwise have become fans, like myself.  To describe it accurately, the music is actually a mixture of advanced (guitar-based) prog rock and alternative, emo-rock type styles in the modern style. From the first album, which switches from the straightforward alt rock to prog, though mostly the former, the sample Heaven's Closed:



The second album sounds quite a bit like Het Pandorra Ensemble's III album from the 70s being mostly instrumentals weaving electric guitar patterns in quite beautifully intricate patterns. Another good point of comparison is the great 'new renaissance of prog' band, Accordo dei Contrari, featured here before. At times it sounds like the recently posted Kubist Tier, which is highly positive.  There is even the addition of harp, flute, and violin, as I can hear. Not clear to me if these are synthesized instruments or the 'real thing' ie acoustically analog played.  Consider the opener, ironically called The Last One, note the second electric guitar riff and its tritonal pattern:



In track two there is even a mellotron in the background!! These guys / the composer were serious prog fans, without a doubt.


The third album for some reason reverted back to the old alternative rock sound perhaps for commercial reasons, and is disappointing to me by comparison (apologies to the artists), though excellently played and very professional, quite undeservedly unknown.  However, there are some quite interesting tracks, consider Paper Ships:



 But "Who Rolls the Dice" from the pre-millenial year 1999 is definitely a little gem.

Who are the artists? Would love to know, and if there is more coming... quite a minimal amount of information in the database.
