TelAve News/10804208
NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2023 ~ On September 22, Elektragaaz released the second in a six-part series of EPs, Your Own Private Cinema, Part 2. The genre-agnostic, progressive multi-fusion instrumental group has been creating colorful and wildly original "movies for the mind" to the delight of its fans for the past few years. Drawing on diverse cultural influences including rock, club, techno, pop, dance, film, comic strips, classical music and hip hop as sources of inspiration, the music blends electronica with electric guitars, electric basses, keyboards, horns and strings to create a sound like no other.

The second installment of Your Own Private Cinema continues to explore diversity and drama. The Great Disquiet reflects a world of anxious anticipation while The Return of the Sea God is a triumphal march celebrating the second coming of a great hero. Maurice The Passionate Android is the story of an artificial intelligence who has found love infecting his micro-circuits while Hey Everybody ventures into electronic funk. Kat's Tale is a hip young woman's recounting of her walk through an electric night life while Night Wings is an homage to creatures of the night.

Elektragaaz's music has been met with almost unanimously ecstatic reviews since their initial series of EPs - The Synesthetic Picture Show Parts 1through 6 - was released. It has been called "masterful and original," "mesmerizing," "ground breaking," "magic," and a work of "musical genius". One reviewer opined that Elektragaaz had reinvigorated and redefined instrumental music while another commentator suggested that their music transports listeners from the moment they press play. While it cannot be easily pigeon-holed it might be described as Pink Floyd meets Karlheinz Stockhausen meets Steven Wilson meets Snarky Puppy meets Kraftwerk; combining jazz sizzle with baroque aromas; smooth prog-rock flows with dance energy; and alt-rock heft.

Adding to this excitement is news that music from Your Own Private Cinema Part 2 as well as past and future releases will soon be available in ATMOS format - a revolutionary new technology in three-dimensional audio which will allow listeners to experience rather than just listen to Elektragaaz's music.
