Wilson Project is a young Italian progressive rock band. The four members, on average 21 years old, have met over the years until they arrived at their current project. In addition to working on original music, the link with Italian prog music was tightened from the start. They began studying and performing songs taken from the first two albums of Premiata Forneria Marconi, a band of great influence, which led them to have the opportunity to perform with Giorgio “Fico” Piazza, the historical bassist and founder of the band. In August 2022, they opened the concert of the New Trolls, one of the most famous Italian progressive rock bands. In September 2022, they won the Critics Award at the PEM festival. Later, in March 2023, they won the Intervallo…Prog contest, in September 2023, participated as an opening band at the 2Days Prog + 1 Festival in Veruno, one of the most important progressive rock festivals on the international scene. In February 2024, they performed as the opening act for Le Orme, another major pillar of Italian prog. Their debut album “Il Viaggio Da Farsi,” was released in July 2022 by Ma.Ra.Cash Records, is inspired by Elon Musk’s Falcon Heavy launch and narrates a woman’s journey to Mars, exploring the dichotomy between reality and its replication. the journey not only physical but also psychological, an inner struggle between nostalgia and enthusiasm for the new. Atto Primo, their second album, released in 2025, was born from the desire to pay homage to opera and bring it to the center of musical narration, considering it a living element. Each piece is inspired by a famous work and composer, not only as a dedication but to restore the original theatricality in a new guise. The sounds and expressive freedoms of progressive rock intertwine with the dramatic atmospheres and emotional tensions of a theater, building a sound world in which words and music move in symbiosis. Wilson Project is composed by Stefano Rapetti – bass guitar, vocals; Annalisa Ghiazza – vocals, aerophone; Andrea Protopapa – keyboards, vocals, and Mattia Pastorino – drums, vocals.

Merging Cluster is a new Italian Progressive Rock Generation born during a cold month in Florence in 2010. It’s a certain kind of rock that takes shape from the union of Gabriele Marconcini (Biofonia) vocals, Marco Casalini (Trigono, Profilo, Underskin) drums, Gianfilippo Innocenti (Chaos Venture) guitars, Emiliano Galli (Esterhazy, Biofonia) keyboards, and Roberto Manzani bass. Merging Cluster is a dormant cell of alternative prog-rock that can awaken in peaks of ephemeral light. It emerges in 2024 with the album “Peak of Ephemeral Light”, with songs born in a state of intermittent writing for more than a decade. The sound of Merging Cluster intercepts the intensity of the best British neo-prog (we could mention Marillion with Fish, IQ, Pallas) and the tensions of the first Queensryche’s album…. It is an excellent technical and compositional band, with the brilliant vocals of Gabriele Marconcini (also Raven Sad) to enhance the melodies and interpretations.
