Bob Saganas is a lyricist and musician, as well as a doctor based in Limassol, who released a new single titled “Grey Matter” combining science with music. The release date of the song is July 5, 2024. It is a well-balanced piece tailor-made with a tiny touch of creative, progressive rock, flamenco elements, and math rock precision. Saganas, who is a pathologist studying brain matter, provides listeners with a song that is not only demanding for one’s ears but is also quite thought-provoking.
The track commences with some rhythmic and intricate riffs on an eight-string guitar which gives the listener an engaging experience. A Middle Eastern palm-muted guitar plays the melody along with the rhythm, creating a beautiful contrast to the pronounced math rock part. Further real drums, as well as multiple synths and bass, increase the sound. There were no limits to creativity in the design. The sound works were recorded in Ocean Studio (Norway) which describes the crystal-clear guitars over the harmonic sound field perfectly. More developed than conventional rock, “Grey Matter” – says Saganas – is more a riddle than a song. While the emphasis is on his composition, guitar, and branding alike, he sounds as if he has a lot going for him – influences of musicians such as Polyphia, Steve Vai, and Ichika Nito are present. Any resemblance to flamenco elements is what makes the math rock style of the track more interesting than others.
In Saganas’ case, I would say this single signifies the next step in his evolution as an artist. Even if you are not the kind of person who can follow progressive rock and math rock and appreciate complex music, “Grey Matter” is still a special piece. Make the most of this unique blend and the much-needed coherence of art and science. It’s hard in the current world of music to find something of this caliber.
