Czech prog-rockers The SPLIT dive into Humanity’s cosmic origins with ‘Mankind In Vitro – Life Matrix’…
The song’s lyrics intricately weave a narrative around a profound dialogue between humans and their extraterrestrial ‘creators’.
In this compelling exchange, the extraterrestrials reveal the hidden truths about humanity’s origins, unraveling the mysteries behind their true creation.
They offer a deep and enlightening explanation of the real story of how humans came to be, shedding light on the intricate processes and purposes that brought them into existence.
Through this revelation, the creators also delve into the profound meaning behind humanity’s presence on Earth, providing insight into their cosmic purpose and the greater significance of their existence within the universe.
The song captures the essence of this extraordinary conversation, blending poetic imagery with philosophical reflections to explore the depths of human identity and destiny.
The genesis of the progressive-experimental body can be traced back to the balmy days of mid-summer 2018, when Zdeněk Čepa Čepička (known for his work with Forgotten Silence, Ador Dorat and Postcards from Arkham) and Mirek Řezníček (of Split Bearing and the Purcupine Tree Tribute) discovered a profound musical kinship between them.
What commenced as casual, exploratory jam sessions swiftly evolved into a meticulous blend of structured experimentation and spontaneous creation, as they delved deep into the realms of musical exploration, seeking direction and expression.
Amidst this creative ferment, a pivotal moment occurred—a realization that crystallized into the ambitious vision of forming a cohesive, permanent ensemble.
Yet, the ensemble remained incomplete, lacking a vital component.
Enter bassist Mike (formerly of Scenery and Archeonic), whose collaboration with Mirek in the Fobier project paved the way for his induction into this nascent venture.
Seizing the opportunity, Mike embraced the invitation to contribute his bass guitar prowess, thus transforming the duo into a dynamic trio poised for artistic exploration.
Thus christened ‘Split’, the ensemble embodies the essence of its name, reflecting the multifaceted nature of their musical and philosophical outlook.
Comprising Zdeněk Čepa Čepička on drums/percussions, Mirek Řezníček on guitars/samplers, and Mira ‘Mik’ Valouch on bass, Split ventures into uncharted sonic territories, transcending boundaries of style, genre, and perception.
Their collective journey promises to traverse diverse musical landscapes, offering a panoramic vista of sound and sensation.
