About
Belfast-based trio Myriad Things immerses you in a sonic landscape imbued with diversity of thought and sound. The influences are eclectic and multi-generational, seamlessly and tastefully blending elements of progressive rock, classic 70s shred guitar, psychedelia, funk, ethereal and ambient soundscapes, and even some of the blues. The three piece has released two singles since its inception and is prioritising a more substantial body of work in the form of an album, earmarked for release in 2024.
The true beauty and success of the project lies in the undeniable chemistry of its members. "Virtuoso guitar playing (Jonnie Rice) held in check by a really solid and quite spectacular rhythm section (Brendan Doran and Jimmy McCrory)" - Daily Mirror NI.
The intention of Myriad Things is to push boundaries whilst still maintaining a clear musical identity in its sound, giving people what they want but challenging them to open their minds and broaden their perspectives. The group keeps itself anchored in its rock and roll roots, never underestimating the power and importance of the riff, shred guitar solo, or groove-laden rhythm section. With that, the sound is constantly evolving with experimentation and utilisation of new electronic effects on guitar and bass, traditional instruments like steel tongue drum and bouzouki, linear and score-like compositions, varied and orchestral use of percussion instruments, and artfully crafted thematic lyrics.
