THE CIRCLE PROJECT - BESTIARIO
Fecha de Edición - 9 de octubre de 2016 -
The Circle Project es un grupo ecléctico que fusiona literatura con música de diversos estilos, principalmente art rock.
La génesis de esta reunión tuvo lugar en el seno de un grupo de Facebook para amantes del rock progresivo (Prog Circle) que cuenta con más de cuatro mil miembros. Su fundador, Lajarin Dream (Ángel Gómez Lajarín, Prog Circle), observando que entre los miembros más activos se encontraban numerosos músicos con interesantes trayectorias, propuso formar un proyecto colectivo para aunar sus talentos más allá de las barreras geográficas.
Intervienen en su composición, interpretación y arte quince artistas, algunos de ellos muy valorados en el panorama nacional, lo que hace de este proyecto una propuesta compleja pero coherente gracias a la dirección musical del multiinstrumentista Rafael Pacha en estrecha colaboración con German Fafian (Axiom9) (guitarras) y Raúl Díaz (Taker51) (teclados y batería).
Así fue cómo se incorporaron, además de Rafael, German y Raúl, Ana Marín (de Psychosound, Axiom9) al bajo, Javier Herrera (de Kant Freud Kafka) y Aser Nova a las baterías. La composición e interpretación de las líneas vocales corrieron a cargo de Javier Herrera, Daniel F. Campañá (de Quorum) y José Carballido. Amador Gázquez (podcast Rocky Mountain Hop!) ejerce de segunda voz en una canción y también cuentan con la colaboración especial del prestigioso Manoel Macía (guitarra) y la maravillosa voz de Clara Morant, quien canta a dúo con Daniel en el tema final.
En su debut ofrecen este "Bestiario", donde consiguen plasmar la impronta personal de cada uno de ellos, describiendo al detalle un apasionante catálogo de extraordinarias criaturas de ficción. Nueve canciones llenas de pasajes y emociones de minuciosa musicalidad instrumental y vocal, introducidas por las locuciones de Alexandro Baldassarini (Jazz Circle) narrando los textos, que, al igual que las letras, son en su mayoría obra del escritor Carlos Romeo. De la mano de Patricia García (Metal Circle) va la rotulación de los textos y parte de la producción.

Biographical information:
The genesis of this project took place within a Facebook group for progressive rock fans named Prog Circle. This group counts with more than four thousand members. Its founder, Ángel Gómez Lajarín (Lajarin Dream), noted that among the most active members were several musicians with interesting musical paths, and so he proposed forming a collective project for joining talents beyond geographical barriers.
Fifteen artists making this project a complex but coherent proposal thanks to the musical direction of multi-instrumentalist Rafael PACHA in close cooperation with Germán FAFIAN (Axiom9, guitars and programming) and Raul DÍAZ ( Taker51, keyboards and additional programming)
That was how, in addition to Rafael, German and Raul other great artists joined the project. Artists like Ana MARÍN (Psychosound & Axiom9) incorporated as bass player, Javier HERRERA (KantFreudKafka) and Aser NOVA joined in as drummers. The composition and interpretation of vocals were carried out by Javier HERRERA, Daniel F. CAMPAÑÁ (Quorum) and Jose CARBALLIDO. Amador GÁZQUEZ (podcast Rocky Mountain Hop!) acts as a second voice in a song. We also have the special collaboration of prestigious Manoel MACÍA (guitar maestro) and the wonderful voice of Clara MORANT, who sings a duet with Daniel in the final theme.
These are nine songs full of passages and emotions. Delicious and detailed instrumental musicianship as well as vocals and imaginative introductions narrated by Alexandro BALDASSARINI (Jazz Circle). All texts, as well as the lyrics, were mostly written by Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Carlos ROMEO. Manuscript by Patricia García (Metal Circle)
Up to fifteen artists took part in the composition and recording of their debut album, “Bestiario” (“Bestiary”), several of which are highly acclaimed in the Spanish musical scene, resulting in an eclectic but also coherent piece of work.
The project was initially born from a Spanish Facebook group (named “Prog Circle”), where some of its members started talking about the chance of making something big from the distance. Originally, they were thinking about carrying out a prog-rock opera inspired on the zodiac, but the idea didn’t flourish because of the difficulties of so many people working in the distance without clear direction.
At this point, they didn’t give up and decided to make a u-turn, changing the subject from the zodiac theme to medieval bestiaries, and appointing Rafael PACHA as their musical director. The band members kept playing their roles and making every kind of contribution, since composing, playing instruments, self-producing, promoting… As a fun fact, not a single note was rejected from the member’s contributions, which certainly led to hard work in the studio but goes to show their spirit of collaboration and importance of each one of the members.
Eventually, the puzzle pieces fitted, and the album was released in October 2016. However, as the band members were located along the Spanish territory, many of them never got the chance to meet each other since the album’s official presentation in February 2017, in Madrid.
In “Bestiario”, they manage to capture each artist’s unique musical personality while describing in detail an exciting catalogue of extraordinary fictional creatures. A brave proposal that will surely catch the attention of progressive rock and open-minded fans.
