Event information
London Prog Gigs are delighted to host the album launch event for ‘Mobula’, the second solo album from Iamthemorning pianist Gleb Kolyadin, released through Kscope Records on 28th February.
"Drawing from poloniumcubes - Gleb's vast music diary of over 500 tracks - Mobula unfolds as a suite of 14 short stories, each one a vibrant novella in sound," the label say of the new album, Kolydadin's forth solo release and the follow-up to 2022's Outland. "It’s a sci-fi-inspired odyssey that captures the spirit of grace and exploration, embodied by the album’s titular oceanic creature. From neoclassical elegance to pulsating electronic beats & folk textures, Mobula traverses genres and emotions, mirroring the movements of an imaginary planet and its ever-changing atmospheres."
The classically-trained pianist is one half of Iamthemorning, the ‘chamber progressive rock’ project led by him and singer Marjana Semkina, originating in Russia and now based in the UK. The band emerged in the early 2010s with a sound that fused classical, rock, jazz, folk and electronic influences. Since debuting in 2012, the duo has won numerous awards and garnered international acclaim.; their third studio album ‘Lighthouse’ won Album of the Year at the 2016 Progressive Music Awards.
Marjana will be joining Gleb for a special iamthemorning duo appearance in the second half of the show. There will also be other special guests, to be announced shortly!
