The synth is the dominate instrument, epic and etherial, dynamic and sometimes unpredictable, yet at the end there is rest because the final outcome is certain.
Progressive Hard Rock/Metal
Story behind the song
This was something I worked on independent of Prodigal Son, with Prodigal Son bassist Daniel Gonzalez. It was to be a 60 second recorded work for the intent of being used as material under a "voice over" at the request of a local radio station. We ended up using only my Alesis QS7 synth, opting to do something unlike anything we ever thought that we would do in Prodigal Son. We submitted a 60 second mix of the midi sequence with the tempo speeded up to keep it 60 seconds or less. We don't know what ever became of it. Later, I dug up the file, changed the tempo on a whim, & it sounded so much darker and epic. I decided upon the title "Mysterium Fidei" which is Latin for "The Mystery of Faith", because I thought it captured the dynamic ups and downs of what living a life of faith can sometimes feel like.
