Canadian Sympnonic Prog Rock project The Arc Light Session published the track “Enchanted” taken from new album “When the Truth Rings Hollow” out on February 15, 2024. Stream the track through the YouTube player below:
The Arc Light Sessions is the brainchild of keyboardist and composer John Alarcon. It is a studio project which specializes in Symphonic Progressive Rock – a style of music that uses Rock as a base and adds to that a tasty mixture of elements from Classical, Jazz and/or Folk to create a new concoction. It has a strong following among people who appreciate high quality musicianship and sometimes indulges in longer than average songs. The ultimate goal is to create quality rather than only aim at generating mass appeal.
For some, Progressive Rock is synonymous with Progressive Metal which leaves the more pastoral elements out of the repertoire of some groups. This style, favored by some, is not what The Arc Light Sessions is about. The music is also not about length for length’s sake. The songs develop organically and contain musical passages where warranted but the intent is to have them fit thematically into each piece.
