Minotaur Project is the musical journey of french-hungarian bassist/composer Matt Gabnai, writing a sort-of fusion metal music with an enormous variety of classical and jazz influences, often themed on literature, mythology, movies, or his own experiences. He started to play bass at the age of seventeen, but music quickly turned out rather a lifestyle for him, than just a hobby. After finishing his years in the local contemporary music school he was a bassist for Budapest-based metal group My Small Community, co-founder of the blues group Peef-Poof Project, and was also known for his work as a sound engineer. In 2010, as he decided to move to Strasbourg, France, and beside joining the heavy-metal group Mystery Blue, the long-waited distribution of his own music -Minotaur Project- has begun, with only a handful of aims to achieve: to provide music with an uncompromised quality of his influences, and to invite as many of his friends and favourite musicians to play with him as possible. Since 2011 he's one of the west-European endorsers of Prolude Amplification.

Story behind the song
One of the first fans of mine, Dan Cole (hey, Dan! :)) shared a video with me back in january; to my biggest surprise it was from a hungarian guitarist, who had a very similar approach towards writing music as I do, only he's a far better guitarist than I am :) Since I was always on a lookout for guitarists to include in my project, I jumped on the idea of working with him (the common language wasn't an issue either). He proposed some drumtracks and a few guitar riffs, I continued writing drums, he sent guitar riffs, and this went on a few times, we created a possible song structure... but despite the quick work we've done around the beginning of march, since my private life delayed all releases, I let this collaboration down for too much time, and I couldn't touch it afterwards until now. Then when I've found time a few weeks ago I jumped on continuing the drums, colouring the whole athmosphere with my ususal approach to keyboards, some effects, we recorded the videos for it, and I think the end result came out very nicely. My original idea (based on the atmosphere of the riffs I got) behind the song was to create something smashing, disturbing, not too happy, since (for me) it was influenced by a negative-utopia I write about for years, and I think it shows both of our intentions pretty nicely. There's some optimism in this track, but it shows that I was really influenced by Jozsef Baksai's exhibition called "Childrens play" around 2000-2002, which was about how we teach war and bloodshed to be perfectly natural to the next generation - thus the title "Lullaby of war". The melodies in this song could be very well of a lullaby as well, it's the orchestration that brings this piece this absurdity. Arrangement-wise this track was a big challenge for me, this is why it has such a different feeling from my previous work, but I truly love it.
