Biography
Hyacintus is the one-man project of Jacinto Miguel Corral, a classically trained and multi-instrumentalist from Argentina. His style is melodic symphonic prog in the pure 70’s tradition and shows his strong classical roots (Wagner and Mahler mostly come to mind). Both of his cd’s are concept albums featuring Latimer-like guitar solos, melodic synths and lush keyboards reminiscent of Rick Wakeman.
“Elydian” is a gently flowing album that unfolds like a play, recounting a medieval tale of an ancient land known as… Elydian. It’s full of magnificence, especially on the softer tracks, with good continuity from one to the next. The harder pieces, however, lack a bit of energy (weak production?) thus diminishing the ‘grandeur’ effects. Three guest musicians appear on the album who contribute some keyboards, cello, viola, drums, percussion and choruses. On the slightly superior “Fantasia en Concerto”, again the tracks all neatly flow into one another. This time, eight guests contribute extra bass, keyboards, cello and vocals. A drummer is also credited but the drums sound almost entirely electronic, bringing the overall enjoyment down a notch – a common flaw to both albums. Where Corral really shines is as a guitarist, churning out some heart felt and uplifting melodies as well as slower, darker tunes. This is accessible material but the multi-layered structures provide enough nuances to keep the listener on his toes.
In 2001 he created his own recording studio called "Temporal Studios" in which recording his first solo album under the pseudonym Hyacintus began.
In April 2002 he released "Elydian" a Symphonic Rock conceptual work based in a medieval tale. On this album he played all the instruments (guitars, cello, viola, bass, piano, keyboards, drums midi, programming, vocals), except some issues with the participation of guest musicians.
His second album was released in October 2003 and was called "Fantasia in concerto". Like his previous album plays all the instruments, plus the help of several guest musicians.
Independently released his third album in 2008, which carries the title "Sinkronos".
And now in 2015 reaches its expected fourth CD which is named "4th universe".
