Iamthemorning Piano-Virtuose GLEB KOLYADIN Video zu "Gaia"
Gleb has shared a video of him performing the stand-out track ‘Gaia’.
Speaking on his inspiration behind the album’s writing and recording, he shared “This album is a reflection on growth and change over time, a quiet unveiling of a secret gallery of hidden works, requiring patience and self-confidence to bring into the light. The goal wasn’t to create something epic featuring prog-rock stars but to release a sincere and honest work where listeners can find their own narratives. I’d describe it as an immersive soundtrack for the mind. The mobula on the cover art symbolizes this feeling of being adrift while also diving deep into the subconscious.”´

Album:
28.02. GLEB KOLYADIN – "Mobula" (Kscope/Edel)
Classic Rock: "Man darf sich also auf eine ausladende, maritim-durchdrungene Platte freuen, die im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes in die Tiefe geht und gleichzeitig Weite und Endlosigkeit ausstrahlt. Denn wie schon auf Kolyadins bisherigen Scheiben findet man Klangmalerei der besonderen Art, nur halt tiefblau eingefärbt."
Rock Hard: "…das Endergebnis hat aber genügend Tiefgang, um auch nach diversen Durchläufen nichts von seinem Charisma zu verlieren."
Empire: "Ganz ehrlich, wenn Kolyadin seine Melodien auf dem Flügel spielt, erschafft er zauberhafte Momente. … Wer es gern melodisch-harmonisch mag, wird sich in der Welt von Mobula jedoch sicherlich wohl fühlen."
twilight-magazin.de 13/15: "Seine Kompositionen sind für meine Ohren Impressionismus pur, denn es geht um Klangbilder. Mit seiner Liedtitelvorgabe hat man einen Assoziationsansatzpunkt bekommen. Schaut man nicht zur Orientierung auf den jeweiligen Titel, ist man in seinen Gedanken frei."
eclipsed: "...liebäugelt der 35-Jährige auf „Mobula“ mehrmals mit Ethno-Klängen. Daneben flirtet er aber auch mit New-Age-Sounds... die Stücke mit viel Geschmack in Szene gesetzt..."
Hotel Hobbies: “Every note comes from Kolyadin’s heart and his ability to paint beautiful pictures with his music is undiminished”
The Progressive Aspect: “full of captivating melodies, lush soundscapes and his trademark refined keyboard skills”

Mobula marks Gleb Kolyadin’s first album fully conceived and produced in the UK, following his relocation two years ago under a Global Talent visa. The album, mixed and mastered by Vlad Avy, blends rich folk and ethnic influences with electronic rhythms. Central to Mobula’s vibrant sound is the contribution of percussionist Evan Carson, a notable figure in the folk scene, whose work on almost all the tracks added an exuberance and dynamism to the rhythmic palette.
‘his music comes from deep within his soul. What treasure lies there’ –
Prog Magazine
Adding to the album’s distinct character is the enchanting resonance of a 100-year-old Broadwood grand piano that was used throughout the recording process. Captured by engineers Marcel van Limbeek (Tori Amos) and Gianluca Capacchione (Max Meser), the piano brings a timeless, organic warmth to the compositions, contrasting beautifully with the album’s modern production techniques.
