Reko It is like turning on a college radio station with great variety - and every song features my favorite guitar player.

I would compare Gabriel Marin's situation to Maynard James Keenan. They are both amazing musicians who contribute to multiple bands to express different ideas.

This album is full of musical ideas I have never heard before. Some are old, some are new, and some make me feel like I am travelling to the future.

Favorite track: Saghi Nameh.

about

3 different bands, one album!!!!
tracks 1,4,8 Social Assassins
2,5,7,9 End of Echoes
3,6,10 Storm of Existence
Guitarist Gabriel Marin is a musician forever pushing the boundaries of his instrument. Over the last decade, as a founding member of instrumental fusion trio Consider the Source who have built an international following with their bold, experimental sound which blends metal, psychedelia, jazz, Indian and Middle Eastern influences into a layer cake of sonic sci-fi. Now, with the release of his first solo album, Various Situations, Vol. 1, he’s bringing that relentless exploration to the next level.
The album is split between three projects, each tailored to showcase a side of Marin’s musical personality. Social Assassins, featuring master groove drummer Torch(Conspirator), is an instrumental progressive rock trio with Marin’s signature fretless guitar in lieu of a singer, sending luminous melodies soaring above roiling oceans of riffs. End of Echoes is a duo with vocalist Kira Crissinger, produced by Daniel Lynas (A$AP Rocky) where a warm layer of Marin’s guitar synths couches pop hooks in a haze of ethereal harmony. Storm of Existence is Marin’s interpretation of classical Persian Sufi music. Featuring percussionist Dan Kurfirst, sung entirely in Persian by traditional singers, the ensemble takes the classical scales and motifs of the style and blends them with overdubbed layers of wailing vocals and fuzzed-out doom guitars, illustrating the inherent heaviness and modernity of this ancient music. Here Marin plays the strummed two-string dutar and the bowed kamancha, standard instruments of the traditional style, in addition to electric guitar.
Throughout the album, Marin plays a variety of instruments, from his custom Vigier doubleneck (outfitted with prototype VO-96 pickups), to Persian dutar and kamancha. At the core, though, is Marin’s playing: dazzling yet soulful, chaotic yet controlled, steeped in tradition yet strange and futuristic
