Defying genre and wowing with scale
Usually, when I introduce a new artist, I simply title the posts as ‘Introducing…’ but with Morpheus Project, I wanted to highlight to everything that this is no ordinary music project. Sri-Lankan born Mustafa Khetty is already known for creating classical music but with his new musical passion Morpheus Project, he has turned to Prog-Rock to express his love for the genre. ‘Mozaick’ is the lead single to introduce you to this project and it is stunning. Containing over 30 instruments and a staggering 130 different recorded tracks, ‘Mozaick’ is a true mosaic of musical form. It shifts from rock to synth to jazz to world to classical to deeply percussive in blinks of an eye. It is a melting pot of so many different cultures and genres that it is a truly superb achievement to mesh them all together seamlessly.
Alongside this, Morpheus Project has created a superb music video full of dance and light to express the music too. The result is an absolutely superb artistic expression that I think is the first track to genuinely wow me in quite some time. Let us hope this kickstarts an EP or LP. Enjoy it below.
