7/10 DPRP review: www.dprp.net/reviews/201114.php#fusonic

Our Free Symphonic Rock Music

We compose & perform our own music, characterized as instrumental melodic and free symphonic rock.  Our music is often dramatic, sensitive and sometimes psychedelic of nature. While performing live, we play in trio or as quartet in a semi "unplugged" or full amplified setting. We are based in the Netherlands.

Our inspiration

The great symphonic rock bands from the seventies such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Camel, Marillion, ELP, Alquin, Focus, but also Pain Of Salvation, Pure Reason Revolution, Sylvan, Rush,  Pendragon, Porcupine Tree, Happy The Man. Classic and traditional composers as Mahler, Sibelius, Philip Glass, Villa Lobos, and Albeniz.

Musicians

  • Teo (Electric, Nylon & Midi Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Violin, Alto Violin)
  • Harry Ickelsheimer (Keyboards, Bass guitar, Electric & Nylon guitar)
  • Ronald Hoogwout (Drums & Percussion)
  • Sjak Franssen (Guest on Keyboards, Mini Moog and Bass guitar)
