ALBERTO RIGONI – Groundbreaking spheres

Italian visionary ALBERTO RIGONI, a dedicated composer and addicted to bass guitar, never stops being creative.

Also being bass player in the bands Bad As (Metal) and The Italians (‚Britalian‘ Pop Rock), the technically accomplished and equally soulful string virtuoso gains rapidly audience in the international music scene for inventive and atmospheric genre-crossing compositions.

ALBERTO RIGONI paints alluring INSTRUMENTAL HEAVY PROGRESSIVE-soundscapes comprehensible to wide varieties of listeners.

ALBERTO RIGONI was also a member of the progressive band Twinspirits, which released three albums.

Famous musicians like Gavin Harrison and Kevin Moore joined his solo project. ALBERTO RIGONI is also co-producer of the Vivaldi Metal project and bassist of Kim Bingham.

The upcoming new solo album with the well framing title „Prog Injection“ shows the refined art of the Italian in absolute perfection.
