Prologue Kollobe

The Symphonic Prologue to Dante's classic 'La Divina Commedia' is indeed quite brilliant, a very emotionally charged piece full of tragedy and victory in a rich orchestral garb. The Hamburg Symphony Orchestra play with superb conviction and intensity, and are quite admirably conducted by Gomez Martinez. The same goes for the First Symphony, an intensely personal work all round that shows Woyrsch's admirable sense for long symphonic breadth that is uncannily prescient of Mahler and his contemporary Rott, whose First Symphony is one of the gems of late romantic expressionism. Again, both orchestra and conductor are completely immersed in the beautiful music that permeates the symphony and their performance is certainly one of the best that one could hope for.

Brendan Pollard: "Incredibly it's been 13 years since my last proper solo CD release so it was time to remedy that situation. The new CD "Prologue" was recorded between 2019 and 2020 and features 3 tracks of analogue sequencing, mellotron, and modular goodness using original instruments."

The history of certain civilization's struggle with the chaos of information, in which it fell with the development of communication and general rise of informatization. Unstructured information hinders the progress. But this civilization has found a way out: a special virus, battling with an excess of useless information and confusion in one's mind, who inculcates it to himself. The virus is non-pathogenic, but connects to the system of individual, integrates into it, allowing to eventually organize all of the accumulated knowledge into a coherent system and to use it with maximum efficiency. The prologue tells of the early stages of virus evolution after freewill infection.
