GreyField (Spain) for Symphonic Prog

Comprendo de primera mano la difícil situación económica de muchos emprendedores, por lo que soy muy flexible con los presupuestos. Suelo estar mas interesado en la relevancia del proyecto, que lo que puedo ganar de él. No dude en contactar conmigo, sin ningún tipo de compromiso, para cualquier proyecto o trabajo, por pequeño que sea. Contratar un compositor es elevar la calidad de su trabajo.

Thank you Yam Yam.

Welcome to progarchives Fernando! Still only 45 'likes' on facebook, so things are moving along rather slowly at the moment, but a video has recently been uploaded to YouTube showing the influence that ELP have most likely had on this project:

Are we considering the band for submission? Please send details of more music to listen to and the team can decide on submission to PA.

I agree with Yam Yam.

Very good dear readers, now writing The Rocketeers (if we flipamos much) we're in luck, because we release new section, and typical, mythical and mandatory interview section.

  To inaugurate this section interviewing a countryman of ours who recently released a self-titled work name, Greyfield. I leave you with the interview:

Very good afternoon, this ... How do I call? Is this the Fernando? ¿Ferdinand Bach?




Hi Antonio, Greyfield album is signed by Ferdinand Bach. Ferdinand Bach is a pseudonym, a kind of stage name I've been using since very young, due to the absolute admiration I feel for JSBach. Yet in recent months, I have thought about going back to using my real name, Fernando Marín Vega.



And what should be changed to your real name? Perhaps to get closer to the audience of your land?


  Just for convenience


his interview, obviously it's your latest release digital album Greyfield, eponymous name, so let's get straight to the point. What is Greyfield? Who are they?



Greyfield is a project I started in late 2011, when I was doing 2nd Bachelor. I just started to feel some accomplishment. He had long been involved in other projects in the garage that had little compositional freedom and create a group where I should manage it all seemed a very attractive idea. To date it has been a 'one-man band' although often I tried joining other musicians to belong to the formation.

Today, Can be commercial and live music to the above called "Bands Indies", but your musical approach is completely different, risky and worthy of 60/70. Why are you doing this instead of something less risky and some jerk to the mass public?




As I said before, I started the project by sheer embodiment, in addition I started in a time when I had no idea just recording and compositional skills (laughs).

It must be understood therefore that work is directed to a very small audience, over here in Spain, but it is something that I am aware since I started this journey in 2011.



What do you understand by few compositional skills?




A person has knowledge of composition when the score can write what you have in your head. Many musicians can occur to them that they have a brilliant idea, but do not know how to translate it into writing.

Nobody is born knowing and the best way to fix this is by analyzing your influences. No it's okay to say so, but composing is based on most times to copy a formula that you know works.




The music, along with a life, it can also be a therapy for our major penalties, as it can be a worthy attraction in our great successes, How did music influence you in your life? Does the personality of a person can be marked by it? What is your way of living?




The Greek Damon and Pythagoras discovered and studied what is called the theory of Ethos. The ancient Greeks spoke of a concept that exists between the affections and the music, every melody, every sound, every way, stimulates mood, a feeling ... a way of being final.


  I am a person who lives alone and exclusively for music. She has covered all my time and deprived me of other hobbies that you previously had. But amidst all this fanaticism've found my way, a way to find happiness, so absent in these modern times.



- Something that stands out in your work, is the complexity of the compositions, a person who has never studied any music, Can you do something similar? I, for example, play the guitar and have never studied music, though it is true that on my own I've learned something, but at least I would not be able to do something.

This all depends on the ambition, dedication and the path of each composer. There is no more correct than another style, it's something that is conditioned by personal judgment and experience emotions that we need at any given time. The Greyfield Road has been very eclectic, early recordings have a great deal of doom and black, engraved in a gruesome manner that has been disappearing along the way. While it is true that an issue like Mediterranean Sonata (Masterpiece disk) requires a deeper knowledge in the world of harmony and contemporary music. But I learned, anyone can learn.



Then I think this question is obliged Does the musician is born, it becomes, or is believed to be a musician (laughs)?


The musician is the same way that a blacksmith forge or learn in the same way that a baker learn to make bread.

Anything to say to your fans?


Life is evolution, and my way is not exempt from that premise. If the reader is a fan of the project means that you liked my work, therefore, I feel satisfied, as is the purpose of music. I never fall into the trap of writing music that sought displeasure at the listener's ears, but on my way research and innovation. More than an artist, I consider myself a craftsman as Igor Stravinsky said in his book Poetic Musical.
I am currently mulling several possibilities. I very interested in the world and the aesthetics of vaporwave, while I want to make a fairly extended orchestral work, as it was in his day '' The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table '' an album master one of my favorite keyboardists Rick Wakeman. Whatever you do, it will not lose the progressive feature, which is already my personal stamp.

I will also make a run in physical album, which can include a pretty cool promo shirt. I never planned to do business with this job, because as I said above, the audience of this genre is very small to worry about him live audience, so the album is also available for free. The theme of the album to sell 6 euros for financing arises. In my future work I would like to pay musicians in the flesh, recording studios, audio equipment, instruments, artists and designers, duplicators. The work of music is very expensive and requires much effort. Still, I enjoy doing this, and continue the road anyway.
All those who want a free digital copy or a physical copy, can inform you that contact [email protected] email account.

I love this section, the question of the fans is very open, and I really like the advantage you, your message is direct and secretes a positivism that today in the world of music is very necessary, and also demonstrates how one person can make an entire album has much merit, and I think your fans will appreciate it, or at least should. Is the musician undervalued today?


Anyone who knows anything about music history, will see that the musician is not at all underrated. Perhaps an unknown profession to the great bulk of the population, due to their nature.

But several factors to occur include:

First, the music has been 'democratized' for everyone, and even more ways to create it. Any teenager can catch 100 euros a guitar and start making music, or any program can be hacked into the computer, because computers are also instruments. Everyone can enter a music school, everyone can learn.

We are therefore, to see if I explained well with a society that has music as a hobby, and it will not be strange that someone knows several amateur musicians in his circle of friends, so the idea of a professional musician, who does nothing more than pursue music, it is almost unknown and shocking.

Second, it is addressed to the world of orchestras and conservatories ... there has been no evolution. The 'educated' music has been degraded by toxic elements seeking auditory unpleasantness and bad feelings. Discomfort, despair, confusion, destruction ... the tanatos is overrepresented in contemporary composers and current school and has fled the eros, vitality, passion and joy. Maybe I can seem reactionary saying this, but is a reality that contemporary music has moved away completely from the heart of the listener. This led in his day the rise of popular music, and once seated was pop groups, succeeded another factor to truly associate the problems of today music: Pop, rock and derivatives is made for dancing, not to be heard, so the musician scenic element disappears and is replaced by economic and terrible figure of the Disk Jockey. No need to listen to the music, there's only concern profusely dancing, whether at a concert or a club. This is essentially the real problem of our times, no doubt.

Today an average orchestra has to play a repertoire of 200 years ago if you want a certain audience in the auditorium. Only a minority with taste would come cheerfully somewhat disrupted a concert by György Ligeti.

To make matters worse there are few bands that are not parasitic on state subsidies, and still in the red.

If the orchestra does not evolve and are not run from bad practices, it will disappear as is already happening. A complete transformation of the concept that we understand today by orchestra needed.

The solution to this 'underestimation musician' is to recreate directed music listener's heart while awakens their interest with some complexity.

Create extensive conceptual works that tell stories and having a full range of feelings. Defending the idea of the album (LP) versus Single. That plus the dedication to revitalize physical format, and this



- Besides Greyfield, have you had any experience further into the world of music? Have you played with more bands or have given solo concerts?

Hi Ferdinand

Geryfield just got a majority approval. Please be patient with the actual addition. We have had quite a few suggestions lately.

No problem HT, there's an amount of discretion for the team
