Semantic Saturation - Solipsistic CD (includes custom guitar pick and digital download)

Solipsistic is the debut album for Semantic Saturation; a progressive rock/metal project founded by guitarist Shant Hagopian in 2010. The debut album was released in 2013 featuring Virgil Donati, Ric Fierabracci, Derek Sherinian and Andy Kuntz.

Solipsistic consists of nine tracks, the first eight of which are instrumental, with the final track titled “What if We All Stop” bearing Andy Kuntz’s signature vocals. The epic song spans over 8 minutes, transitioning from a calm, mellow beginning towards an eagerly-anticipated heavier mid-section, before it reaches a grand finale capturing the essence of prog-rock along the way. Two tracks from the album, Stardust and Ambivalence are available to download, free to everyone who subscribes to the mailing list on the band's website.

On the album, Vocalist Andy Kuntz says:

" I’m very proud to be part of a new project with my precious friend Shant Hagopian. He is such a great composer and a very unique guitar player with his very own fingerprint. "

Bassist Ric Fierabracci follows up saying:

" It was a great pleasure for me to play on Shant’s new CD. He is an extremely gifted writer, guitarist and producer as well. "

On the process of creating the album Shant comments:

" There’s this moment of transition during the recording process, when you put all the ideas together like pieces of a puzzle, and only then the bigger picture takes shape and you clearly see what the end result is going to be. "

The new album "Paradigms" will is featuring a new set of musicians such as drummer Craig Blundell, bassist Kristoffer Gildenlow and guest keyboardists Derek Sherinian and Alex Argento.
