About this album: 

"The Convent" is a richly atmospheric instrumental work by Magnus Moone, an artistic identity of composer and producer Wolfram Gruss. Merging neoclassical elegance with subtle electronic textures and precisely sculpted rhythmic elements, the album unfolds with the depth and gravitas of a period-drama film score. Immersive, somber, highly emotional and profoundly dramatic.

Its musical foundation lies in the often used expressive chamber strings that carry sweeping, emotionally charged melodies. These orchestral voices intertwine with understated electronic timbres, creating an arresting blend of tradition and modernity. The pieces frequently move from quiet, tension-laden moments, where every note seems suspended in air to commanding orchestral surges that release this tension in breathtaking fashion. This contrast imbues the album with a vivid narrative arc, as though each composition reveals a new scene or turning point.

The overall tone is shadowed and evocative, inviting the listener into a world shaped by introspection, conflict, and the subtle interplay of restraint and release. Wolfram Gruss’s devotion to sonic detail is evident throughout: every texture, gesture, and harmonic shift feels considered with great care, as though chiseled and refined until only the essential remained.

"The Convent" stands as a captivating sonic experience, an album capable of transporting its audience far beyond the confines of everyday life, into a realm of intense emotion and cinematic beauty.  

Written and produced by Wolfram Gruss.

ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

An epic and deeply emotional piece, “No One Left Behind” follows the Trio Vertere, Luci, and Akrios, through their arduous journey across the Desert of Tennura. The music intertwines the defining elements of each member: Luci’s vibrant fire and natural resistance to heat, shadowed by her quick exhaustion; Vertere’s affinity with cold and mastery over water and ice, contrasted with the mysterious pains that sometimes overwhelm him; and Akrios, the unwavering warrior known as the “Scorpion,” whose skill with the spear and seasoned experience make him the trio’s guide, provider, and steady anchor.

In the blazing passages, Vertere is the one who struggles beneath Tennura’s merciless sun, relying on Luci when the heat grows unbearable. Yet when the desert night turns bitter and perilous for the mage of flames, Vertere becomes her shield against the cold, while Akrios keeps the group united, vigilant against enemies, privation, and the emotional burdens each one quietly carries.

The theme reflects the silent weight of longing: Akrios and Vertere, both wounded by the absence of their daughters, walk forward with guarded hope; Luci, shaped by all she has lost, finds in the trio a new purpose. The music swells as their bond deepens, celebrating every moment in which one must support the other, Luci’s fatigue, Vertere’s pains, Akrios’s invisible wounds.

The climax rises like a vow: they will cross Tennura because none of them walks alone. No one, absolutely no one, is left behind.

(Português)
Uma peça épica e profundamente emocional, “Ninguém Fica Para Trás” acompanha o Trio Vertere, Luci e Akrios, em sua árdua travessia pelo deserto de Tennura. A música entrelaça os elementos que definem cada um dos três: o fogo vibrante e a resistência de Luci, seu cansaço que chega rápido; a afinidade de Vertere com o frio e seu domínio sobre a água e o gelo, contrastando com as dores que o assolam; e a força incansável de Akrios, o “Escorpião”, cujo domínio da lança e experiência de estrada o tornam o guia natural do grupo, capaz de garantir alimento e direção.

Nas melodias mais quentes, Vertere é o que sofre sob o sol de Tennura, encontrando em Luci apoio quando o calor se torna cruel demais. Já nas noites geladas, quando o frio ameaça a magiadora das chamas, é Vertere quem se torna seu amparo, enquanto Akrios mantém o trio unido, atento às sombras, aos inimigos e ao peso emocional que cada um carrega.

O tema revela o silêncio das saudades: Akrios e Vertere, marcados pela ausência de suas filhas, caminham com esperanças cautelosas; Luci, devastada por perdas que a moldaram, encontra no trio uma nova razão para continuar. A música cresce à medida que a união deles se fortalece, celebrando cada momento em que um precisa carregar o outro, seja no cansaço de Luci, nas dores de Vertere, ou nas feridas invisíveis de Akrios.

O clímax se ergue como uma promessa: atravessar Tennura só é possível porque nenhum deles caminha sozinho. Ninguém, absolutamente ninguém, fica para trás.
