Guitarist Tore Østby has released a summery follow-up to the well received piece, “Snowflake”, just before heading on tour to Latin America with Conception. The instrumental track is available on all digital platforms. Listen to it here.
With his love for Spanish music and culture, Tore Østby’s virtuoso guitar takes you on a journey originating in the Nordic melancholy to the heat and passion in Spain with promises of future memories, letting the cultures meet and merge in beautiful harmonies and playful guitar melodies.
Østby: “In this track I let the two most influential cultures for my music tell a tale together, and it’s a piece close to my heart!”
Østby is known from Norwegian metal band Conception and Norwegian/American progressive metal band ARK. Known for his virtuoso guitar with his signature influence from Spanish guitars his solo project is landing well with his fans, and this piece will leave no one disappointed.
Conception vocalist Roy Khan and guitarist Tore Østby have decided to try something new; an acoustic show with cello backing them up. Audiences are in for intimate experiences at Herr Nilsen in Oslo, Norway on September 11, and at the Auditorium Miltiadis Evert in Technopolis, Athens, Greece on September 13 for the VIP ticket holders of the Rock Hard Festival.
The trio will indulge the audience with acoustic versions of Conception songs, with the added depth of the cello. These are the only two shows that will be announced.
Kjell Magne Robak is a playful and innovative cellist with a wide range of genres and expressions. He has worked with a number of world-renowned names in classical music, as well as many of Norway’s leading artists in jazz, pop, and rock – including names like Åge Alexandersen, Sissel Kyrkjebø, Triosphere, and Daniel Herskedal.
Khan: “We are excited to try this format, and we look so much forward to share it with fans!””
Østby: “I have always loved the cello, and this is a great opportunity to explore the deeper expressions of the cello within our music!”
In 2023, Conception released their State Of Deception deluxe box set (triple vinyl, triple CD, book, poster, signed pic). Order here.
The box set includes the book, Retrospect – A Brief History From 1989 To 1997, by Gwynyth H. Moaven, poster, a signed photo and a letter of authenticity.
