Mythos is a new album by Max Andrzejewski, to be released 4th march 2022 on Backlash. Combining both composed and improvised elements, performed played by a 12 piece ensemble, the piece is born out of Max’ violent interaction with Richard Wagners infamous Ring Cycle. In Mythos, Max has created an hyper imaginative work that deals with the artistic remains of a much heralded prophet of classical music the way it maybe should be dealt with: scrap it and leave it for parts.
