Dell Johnston has once again shown his mastery in releasing his new instrumental single “Surge Fabularum” from his album Redemptio. Dell is known for being a composer, producer and singer/songwriter; he keeps on pushing the boundaries with this latest offering that further solidifies his position in cinematic music.
Epic sweeping track “Surge Fabularum” tells a story through its lyrics that throws listeners into an immortal battle between right and wrong. This creates soundscape that can be described as grand and evocative borrowing heavily from iconic composers like John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. Thus, through each note of his instrumental work, he shows how emotions can be mixed together in ways that remind audiences of hit scores of recent years that are usually produced with media content providers in mind.
This piece was recorded and mastered at Dell’s home studio so it bears some personal touch throughout the whole composition. That approach is deeply personal and spiritual: “When I start on a particular piece,” says Dell “I will literally pray for guidance.” For me, I know am just a vessel – the music flows through me.
Dell Johnston’s “Surge Fabularum”, offers its audience something completely different – no words are ever spoken here yet the epic journey does begin! It also adds up to his discography powerfully expressing how dedicated he is towards creating music that touches people deeply. This song is most definitely one of those tracks meant for anyone who understands instrumental composition as well as dramatic parts associated with film scores because it is quite engaging.
