Storytelling Prog Rock by Cultural Lungs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Greetings from Lisbon,

Cultural Lungs, a project born in 2011, makes music that sounds like Hans Zimmer encouraging Radiohead to get over a depression. It’s gloomy, and I’m told it’s depressing but hey! I love depressing and gloomy music.
If you like super basic songs with the same 3 chords playing over and over, you will probably hate most of my songs, because I like to make it interesting with spicier progressions, and above all, I love to tell stories through my music. Just one song can be awesome by itself, but a storytelling album… there’s where ultimate songwriting lies!
It’s not about just writing a song, but it’s about creating a universe, where songs interlink, reference each other, and make out a fictional reality. It’s all about taking people on a journey using music as a vessel.
I've just released the first storytelling album in history where you can choose the ending of the story! 'Fortress' has a happy ending and a not so happy one, Check it out here:

I would love to hear what you guys think about it!

	Boa tarde...I'm listening to the soundcloud sample and I like it. The voice is something to get used to but if one can listen to Eloy this is not a problem. I don't know what subgenre this could be, maybe neo-prog? If you look at the subgenres list and descriptions on the home page where do you think this music belongs to?

	Great idea to let the listener decide from two versions.
