The Circle Project
Biographical information
THE CIRCLE PROJECT is a band
from Spain which
merges literature with great variety of music genres, but mainly Art Rock.
Up to fifteen artists took part in the
composition and recording of their debut album, “Bestiario” (“Bestiary”),
several of whom 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.

I spoke an hour with Rafael Pacha by Facebook about the band, literature, music, etc, and later with Angel, they are sending me all the info required to add the band.
Being Peruvian it was a great conversation in Spanish.
