NOISECREEP STREAMING NEW ALBERTO RIGONI SONG "FREE" FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST GAVIN HARRISON

ALBUM OUT MAY 23rd ON NIGHTMARE RECORDS

Noisecreep.com is currently hosting an exclusive premiere of the new track from ALBERTO RIGONI entitled "Free".  The song comes from the internationally renowned bassist's forthcoming album "Rebirth" which is being released one week from today on Nightmare Records.  "Free" features a special guest appearance from legendary Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison.  The track can be heard at: http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/05/16/alberto-rigoni-free-song/

Another song from "Rebirth", "Ontogeny" is also being streamed now by Pure Grain Audio at http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/alberto-rigoni-ontogeny-song-stream 

A teaser video for "Rebirth" can be viewed at: http://www.progarchives.com/video.asp?id=3648 

"Rebirth" shows an extreme variety of tunes, some with voice and some instrumental. It's a union of experimental research blended with a solid backbone of melody. Music lovers around the world will want to witness his elegant simplicity to bring the bass instrument to the forefront without losing the rhythm and foundation of the music.

ALBERTO successfully combines prog-rock fusion with hard-rock ambience, creating a blend that suggests a poetic mix that is free from any defined genre yet remains memorable and even catchy.

 

"Rebirth" also features contributions from a number of well-known musicians, including drummers Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Krimson) John Macaluso (Ark, TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen), bassists Michael Manring and Yves Carbonne, Swedish singer Jonas Erixon (Alicate), guitarist Tommy Ermolli (Twinspirits) and Simone Mularoni (DGM, Empyrios), keyboard players Federico Solazzo (Alexia), Andrea Pavanello (Centrica), Filippo Lui and Emanuele Casali (DGM, Astra).

Born in Montebelluna (Treviso, Italy) in 1981, bass player ALBERTO RIGONI founded a well-known progressive-metal cover band, in 1998 called "Ascra", with drummer Enrico Buttol, performing mainly songs by Dream Theater. In 2003 he joined the emerging band Twinspirits (progressive rock metal), led by Daniele Liverani (Genius Rock Opera, Khymera, ex-Empty Tremor). The band's debut album "The Music That Will Heal The World" was released worldwide in 2007 by Finnish label Lion Music and received remarkable feedback. Besides Twinspirits" RIGONI composed his first solo album entitled "Something Different", released by Lion Music on February 15th 2008 with worldwide distribution. At the same time Alberto shot a video of his hit song "BASSex" (working with Italian company "Solingo Visual Arts") directed by Elia Cristofoli. The video was broadcast on some television networks such as RockTV.

2009 saw the release of the second Twinspirits album "The Forbidden City" on Lion Music.  During this time period RIGONI also played bass as special guest on some tracks of Giani Rojatti's solo guitar album "Dolcetti Metal Beat" and scored some gear endorsements with great companies such as Aguilar Amplification, HipShot amongst others.

The following year RIGONI began work on what was to become "Rebirth".  It was also at this time that he became involved with the band Mistheria and played bass on their album "Dragonfire".  The all-star line-up of Mistheria included: John West, Mark Boals, Rob Rock, Titta Tani, Lance King on vocals, George Bellas, Roger Staffelbach, Emir Hot, Neil Zaza on guitars, ALBERTO RIGONI on bass and on the drums  John Macaluso. 

"Rebirth" shows an extreme variety of tunes, some with voice and some instrumental. It's a union of experimental research blended with a solid backbone of melody. Music lovers around the world will want to witness his elegant simplicity to bring the bass instrument to the forefront without losing the rhythm and foundation of the music.
