The Maier Project (MP)

Founded in February 2006, the Maier Project took its first breath in early spring when experiments with loops formed the skeleton of the very first song âErlâ, the intro of âMy Life In An Elven Worldâ. Conceived as a virtual group of musicians with hidden identity, the MP rapidly transformed into a platform to reflect private events and adventures.
The initial pretence was the use of instrumental music creating a mirror of persons and things that are important to us. After all, this concept has led to thirty songs on three compact discs up to the end of 2007. These instrumental songs can be listened to and downloaded for free from the band´s website.

This period ended with the introduction of the voice to our songs. The first album with lyrics, "A Gallery Of Dreams", has been released in the end of November 2008. The voice gave a significant kick to the music of the MP which led to the release of "Dragons" in 2010. The next album will be presented in September 2011, its title is "States Of Aggregation". A first song out of the new album can be found on YouTube.

The musical history of the MP started with groups like Yes and Peter Gabriel´s Genesis, nowadays Steven Wilson´s Porcupine Tree is one preferred source of recreation. Other favourites are Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill´s solo work which, in all these years, has been and still is a constant companion.
Our music is the mirror of what had formed our musical taste and an attempt to create music we ourselves would like to listen to.

The first instrumental releases have been the introducing steps to learn the trade, to get used to the technical tools. "A Gallery Of Dreams" has been the crucial test and the onset of this new journey of The Maier Project. "Dragons" is the first peak in the MP´s musical development, and we are confident that "States Of Aggregation" will be one more large step forwards.
