Nabeel Ansari Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hey guys, After 9 years being on OverClocked ReMix, basically starting to my musical adventure here on the forums (first as Neblix, moving on from that name to my real name, then starting a new brand), I'm proud to finally release my first album of original music, COLOURS. Bandcamp: https://pryzmusic.bandcamp.com/album/colours CD Baby: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/pryzm OverClocked Records: https://overclockedrecords.com/release/colours/ Will also be coming to all major storefronts in the coming week, including streaming platforms! It's already available for free on YouTube and SoundCloud at low-quality streaming. COLOURS is my debut album wrapping up my early young adult experience and entering the world as an independent creative and engineer. With this album is the introduction of the PRYZM, my metaphor for the assimilation of different influences across the spectrum of music. Music can be expressed in many different ways, and my motivation to compose is to learn all of these different expressions and merge them into my identity as a composer. You can also grab my new social media pages to stay up to date with new music!

Sixto Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 This album is pretty amazing. The title "Colors" is pretty fitting, I think. Plus, it's reeeeally fun to improvise over when you're trying to improve your guitar playing Nabeel Ansari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I love this album, it made the difficult journey to my iPod onto my gym playlist. Not many albums can say that! djpretzel and Nabeel Ansari 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelCityOutlaw Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This is taking me back to my years of listening to Dream Theater, Circus Maximus and Anubis Gate. Well done. Nabeel Ansari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It takes a certain mind to proceed with this kind of vision and invest in it; each song has a logical progression to it, in both textural development and arrangement. [For example, "Constellations" is largely atmospheric, and it can be hard to nail proper textural progression while maintaining interest. You got that balance.] There's a large amount of stylistic diversity here, but I can hear the jazz influence (in terms of the chord progressions and time signature modulations) and the attention to detail that I would attribute to you. In terms of mastering, the track flow also makes sense. Great job! I think my favorite track is "Colour of Time". Nabeel Ansari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 You’re the first person to call out Colour of Time, which makes me really happy because imo it’s my favorite piece on the album as well. timaeus222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Congrats on the release and nice job on the album, I listened to it all morning. As a matter of personal taste I've never been overly fond of the vast majority of modern prog rock, JR's Rhythm of Time being far away my favorite, but I really dig your work here. Ditto to Colour of Time being a standout as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnieMoog Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hey PRYZM Just wanted to pop in here real quick to say I am really loving your release. It's wonderful work. I particularly enjoyed Astral Genesis and Constellations. Looking forward to hearing more! Nabeel Ansari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astral Genesis was really fun and I wish I had time to make it a longer piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
