‘Intelligent Music Project III’ release their new rock single and video for ‘Mind Projection’, a song from their upcoming album, \u2018Touching The Divine\u2019, which features artists John Payne, previous frontman of Asia, and drum legend Simon Phillips. \u00a0The group of talented musicians that form Intelligent Music Project III have all put in their creative output to achieve an intelligently composed rock and roll album that is expected to be released late September 2015.<\/p>\n

The single, ‘Mind Projection’ is straightforward in its songwriting form with creative layering and dynamic movements that distinguish each part and a powerful vocal arrangement by John Payne that brings the music to an escalated level. The song begins with a wonderfully played finger style acoustic guitar accompanied by the powerful lead vocals of John Payne and builds into a progressive rock riff that goes through different melodic movements that eventually taper and lead back to the soft acoustic guitar played by\u00a0producer and composer Milen Vrabevski. As the song feels like it is about to end the music suddenly jumps back into the progressive rock hook for one more round and an amazing guitar solo played by guitarist, Tim Pierce, and then abruptly stops to climax.<\/p>\n

Producer and composer Milen Vrabevski has this to say about the single, ‘Mind Projection’,<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe we managed to deliver an astonishing sound once again and it will delight the ears and sound systems of hardcore rockers all around the world. Bearing in mind the top-notch level of our guest stars, I allowed myself mainly to record the acoustic guitar of the first single ‘MIND PROJECTION’. \u00a0The video was shot in Bulgaria by Vasil Stefanov, a very prolific and talented video director. The explicit idea was to show the level of collaboration and collective effort of all featuring musicians, which I believe, would be one of the most intriguing aspects for the music fans.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The video displays all the great musicians of the band in the studio putting in intense work as they all put in creative ideas and their musical knowledge while it briefly casts scenes of a women with cuts all over and blood on her dress, lost in the wide open country of Bulgaria fighting to survive and find her way. As the song progresses to the end the women’s cuts begin to heal and she shows signs of strength and healing as she finally soars into the air leaving behind an inspirational message that is correlated with song ‘Mind Projection’.<\/p>\n
