Biographies Needing Attention - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Reading this thread only now...I can spare some time on this

Happy to chip in, we completed this in the HP team recently so there should not more than a handful that need updating (if any). It has proved more difficult with Prog metal which has been hit and miss.

I think we can start from the ones that are in urgent need of update and concern more well-known bands. If you can co-ordinate this and we spread this out to more people I think we can see some more progress.

David,

Of course it depends from one case to another, to be rigorous certain bands would require a total rewrite while other will benefit just from a more light editing and/or updating.

I think we shouldn't let be overwhelmed by the (eventually) huge amount of work required, if we start thinking in terms of numbers it's easy to get discouraged and give up right away Sleepy

If we could coordinate a joint effort I'm certain it will positively reinforce the individual commitement and make the task a more pleasant one (the main personal goal, as I see it) and productive (the final collective result).

Let me know your POV

Jose if you could clarify what you mean by a revision of bios and what the numbers look like-- are we talking hundreds, thousands? Would these be complete rewrites or just changes, edits, etc.?

Happy to get involved from the RIO side

New album! "A Moment of Thought"

Rather unhandy I can't update my own biography LOL

So could someone please update this page's bio to this:

Pascal van den DOOL is a solo crossover prog artist (born 29th february, 2000 in Papendrecht, The Netherlands).

Start

Playing piano and composing started at an early age and he continued with this a lot in his life. In 2014, he began composing orchestral pieces and piano compilations and publishing them on Youtube. These orchestral pieces were largely inspired by trailer music which has always been an influence.

First albums

After a little while he composed his first orchestral album, called 'Nature'. In less than a year a new album came out: 'The Transition'. It had a more realistic orchestral sound and functioned as a bridge between orchestral music and band-oriented music. These albums were never officially released.

Prog period

Pascal discovered prog, which would be a big love from that point. Inspired mainly by Pink Floyd, he made the album Space (July 2015) just 3 months after The Transition. Still the use of orchestra was prominent.

Next, he wanted to develop his own style more and thus mixed a lot of piano and orchestra in his sound. The result was a concept album: City Between Two Seas (January 2016). From this point, this album and the Space were available for sale and he gained more international fans.

With his next album The Sent Alien (October 2016) he amplified his style; more thought out layers with lots of piano and orchestra and a bit more experimental, the album touches avant-garde briefly for the first time as well as adapting classical composition.

The next album, Fedus (June 2017), focusses more on piano solo and other keyboard layers. In this nearly fully instrumental album the aim is to find a balance of seemingly almost contradictional musical aspects: peaceful - tensional, impressionistic - modernist, emotion - complexity, etc. The album again takes a new direction, namely much more jazz and modernist music, but it remains Pascal van den DOOL's own style.

New album! "A Moment of Thought"
