Marius a ales ca principal amplificator atat pentru LIVE cat si pentru studio modelul ENGL Screamer si un cabinet ENGL 2×12. Cele 4 canale ale amplificatorului, reverb-ul incorporat si boost-ul de volum sunt controlate cu o pedala ENGL Z5.

Engl Screamer este un amplificator modern atat prin constructie cat si prin sunet. Acesta poate furniza orice ton modern de chitara, de la un clean cristalin pana la cel mai agresiv ton de metal.

Marius Pop in finala Guitar Idol 2011

Marius Pop este unul dintre cei 12 finalisti invitati dintre peste 1000 de concurenti inscrisi din intreaga lume sa participe la finala Guitar Idol 2011. Guitar Idol este cel mai important concurs international de chitara. Finala Guitar Idol se va desfasura in 4 Decembrie in Londra iar Marius este singurul roman invitat la acest eveniment.

Marius was born with the guitar in his hand as he is continuing the tradition established by his father, lead guitar and vocal of Celelalte Cuvinte, one of Romania’s most important rock bands.

Except the family heritage, Marius is mostly self taught. He studied at least 4 hours a day since he was 9 years old. That adds up to 25000 hours in the last 18 years. We counted :)

Marius joined his first band when he was 13 and since he spent most of his life touring,
recording and playing guitar as a professional musician. He played as a session guitarist for many Romanian rock and pop acts as he is one of Romania’s most sought after musicians.

At the beginning Marius started as a rock guitarist, but he was soon captured by jazz music and he turned into a complex fusion guitarist. He won or ended up as a finalist in many guitar and jazz contests all over the world and became one of the most recognized new talents of the guitar world.

In 2009 Marius put together the M Theory project by gathering some of the best musicians he ever worked with. The 2010 “First Step” album is their debut recorded material.

THE M THEORY

The “M Theory” project was created by Marius while recording his first solo album.

While there were more than 10 artists recording for the “First Step” album, a stable core of the project was soon established:

MARCEL MOLDOVAN on drums

ALEX RACOVITA on keys

MIHAI ARDELEAN on keys & synth

DAN SAGHIN on bass

The mix of Alex’s jazzy melodic lines and harmonies, Mihai’s progressive licks, Marcel’s complex beats and Dan’s groovy bass lines combined with Marius’ explosive guitar playing creates an innovative musical experience that is sure to capture the listener.
