Telescope Road Marseille Alain Chiarezza, acoustic and electric guitars William Kopecky, fretless bass David Lillkvist, drums & percussion New to the progressive scene,TELESCOPE ROAD from Marseille, France consists of three musicians who are already well-known in the genre. It’s a meeting of three musicians from three different countries who together create strikingly original music that is sometimes meticulously composed but often improvised as well. On bass, we find the world renowned, one-of-a-kind American bassist WILLIAM KOPECKY (Par Lindh Project, Kopecky, Michael Angelo Batio). Virtuoso guitarist ALAIN CHIARAZZO (founding member of the legendary Eclat) hails from France. They are joined by the innovative Finnish drummer DAVID LILLKVIST (Par Lindh Project, Gjallarhorn), who has earned a well-deserved international reputation. 2015 was a big year for this group starting with their performance at the ProgSud festival (France). They then had their first experience playing together internationally when they toured Japan. Also noteworthy was their appearance at the Rock ad Ovest festival in Italy as well as numerous concerts in Marseille in the south of France. In 2016 the group released their debut self-titled 6 track CD, three of which are instrumental and three which include vocals. One track features the Finnish vocalist Cleo and another with South African singer Sbongile Mbambo. Also guesting on two tracks on the album is Nabankur “Pinku” Bhattacharya on tabla and voice. In the summer of 2016 the group did a French tour that culminated with their performance at the Crescendo Festival, France´s largest progressive rock festival. TELESCOPE ROAD offers a musical world full of nuances. Their acoustic side allows them to express themselves with finesse, but they can also build up the intensity to deliver powerful and technically-challenging music. TELESCOPE ROAD takes the listener on a visionary musical journey from rock to world music (especially Middle-Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian music) while utilizing their instruments to their full potential.
