F.W. Murnau’s silent classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is the nightmarish backdrop for this gothic-tinged, progressive rock track. “Thought and Memory” is from the 2017 EP “Dragonfly“.
“Dragonfly” is the follow-up EP to 2015’s “Stormbringer”. Continuing the minimalistic journey of that release, these three new songs are prime examples of Paul Vario’s atmospheric and cinematic approach to instrumental rock. Metal roots never far from the surface, Paul’s bass-driven grooves and prog-inspired keyboard work provide the canvas for soaring, anthemic guitar melodies. Always thematic, never self-indulgent, his “anti-shred” style of lead playing is fully on display.
Paul Vario is one of the most respected and in-demand private music instructors in New York City. Students travel from all five Boroughs and Long Island to work with this 20 year veteran instructor.
Paul has toured, recorded and performed with Son Seals, Goldy McJohn, Mark Wood, Al Pitrelli, Jordan Rudess, Alex Skolnick, Tony Harnell, John McEnroe and many others. He has performed live in front of thousands, on international television and radio and his session work has been featured in network broadcasts and films.
