Rhayader The Traveler, by Ferdinand Bach

Rhayader The Traveler

by Ferdinand Bach

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Ferdinand Bach aka Fernando Marín Vega is the mastermind behind GreyField. This album predates his prog masterpieces "GreyField" and "Caedes Ex Minion", exposing a somewhat different sound. It's rooted basically in the synth wave genre, but with a nice chiptune flavor, and it gets quite experimental on the final track. Favorite track: Let Me Dream.

about

Rhayader es un viajero espacial. Su trabajo es bastante simple: explora mundos abandonados en busca de cosas que puedan tener valor, una especie de chatarrero espacial. Su fijación está puesta en objetos raros, con muchos botones, cables etc con pinta de antiguo. Mas tarde se dirige a la estación central del sistema Sirius 13 y le vende sus hallazgos a un feliz comerciante de una tienda de antiguedades, el entiende y normalmente le dice sus extrañas y primitivas funciones.

En una de sus aventuras llega a un planeta del viejo cinturón pleyadiano que los colonos de las estaciones espaciales cercanas llamaban Abandonia. Un trozo de roca fría que antaño fue habitado por diversas razas y que albergaba ciudades y ciudades misteriosamente vacías.

Se dio cuenta del valor de las cosas cuando descubrió una especie de pantalla que estaba conectada a un cubo con muchos componentes electrónicos primitivos dentro. Su rastreador le indico que poseía información digital en código binario. Y la traspaso al computador de la nave espacial, y comprendió que no solo era un objeto raro, si no que había hallado el legado entero de una civilización

Verano de 2013:

Fernando Marín Vega, con ayuda de la asociación audiovisual Gar-Pal compone en el mes de Julio un álbum completamente electrónico con sintetizadores, basandose en el sonido spacesynth.

Las canciones del álbum recuerdan a la música de los videojuegos de principios de finales de los 80's y principios de los 90's. No se puede clasificar realmente de chiptune porque no ha sido compuesto en exclusividad con un chip SID.

De este álbum se sacaron 50 copias en Compact Disc. A duras penas se consiguió amortizar lo invertido. Anecdoticamente el compositor no pudo asistir al estreno del álbum por estar ingresado en el hospital.

En general tuvo una buena acogida por el oyente general. El tema mas polémico, ''Money In Da Bank'', casualmente fue el tema preferido, a la vez de llevarse mención de ser el mas odiado y raro

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh
