Progressive Biography

My name is Gabriel Rivest, as you may know. I'm fifteen.
I have discovered prgressive music three years ago approximately. Since then, I am really fascinated by this kind of music. But I do not only listen to progressive, I also really love Musique Actuelle, Jazz, Classical / Contemporary music and Rock.

ProgArchives was an important discovery for me. If it was not for this website, I probably would not know other progressive bands than the classic ones. I was intrigued by all these sub-genres, I was feeling (and still feel) like a kid in a candy store. So much music. At this time, my favourite genres were Symphonic Prog, Psychedelic / Space Rock and Eclectic (this one is still among my favourites). I can still say I enjoy most of them, but lately I have been digging Fusion, RIO/Avant and Zeuhl a lot! It was not love at first hear, though. It took a long time for me to appreciate them, particularly Zeuhl.

As a member of ProgArchives, I always have been, and I am still trying to promote my local scene, which I am pretty proud of. In Québec, we have lots of good music. Here is a list of some artists / bands I love.

PROGRESSIVE

- Miriodor
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor
- Conventum

- Justine
- Sloche
- Harmonium
- Maneige
- Unexpect
- Rouge Ciel

NON-PROGRESSIVE

Being a Collaborator also gave me the occasion to collaborate with many interesting members, and to discover many good bands. I even had the chance to speak with artists I appreciate.
