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
At September 2012 I decided to finally start to write and record the album I was working so much for the last couple of years. I planned 3 months to complete it - and then in the middle of the process I realized that I'm such a maximalist, that I'm unable to work under such date limits - I rather want it to be good. It's still ongoing (slowly everything gets its place), and it will go on as long until I'm finished with it. I even asked some fellow musicians to help out, and I never got around to call them back - that's a shame, really. (Note to self: ask others when the material is ready :)) I also have to mention that I plan to release the album with proper vocals on it (maybe even this song), which makes this process even longer - but I think it'll all worth it in the end :) Meanwhile some of the songs shape up to be pretty interesting structure and sonicwise, some got new directions, some got even new genres in it, stuff I've never done before. I decided to share one of these with you as a personal celebration of my birthday (which is today, the 14th of April, I'm 27 today). This song is a conclusion of the trilogy I'm working on inside the album. Storywise I'm still keeping its meaning to myself (I don't want to spoil it, since I plan to make this year's big release a concept album), but musically it has a lot going on, partially because we have some reoccurring themes over the songs - which would obviously unfold with the rest of the trilogy. It's confusing, fast, and more guitar-driven than most of my work before. Obviously the rhythm-driven djent scene got to me to the core, and also I got very much inspired by The Algorithm's "brainf*** "-kind of genre-mashing music, but I guess for an instrumental composition as this one, it's for the best. Nothing ever is done the same thing twice, no piece of audio is copy-pasted on my album, so the whole thing gets some additional detail. I also used a bit of Matt Halpern's drum patterns that I bought from the toontrack website. That guy's a beast, never stops to inspire me musically. You can also clearly hear some influences of the 2nd Periphery record in this track. And one other thing: a shoutout to AuroraDante for the songtitle, best typo ever :) "Wird doesn't mean it's worng". Thank you!
