Brio Rinaldi

ABOUT

I’m a progressive rock bassist/synthesist looking for a possible new gig/venture! Please note: Originals only-no cover or tribute bands!

My initial influences were 70s progressive rock acts but would now like to go in a more Neo progressive direction such as bands mostly out of Scandinavian countries ala Opeth, Katatonia Threshold, Leprous, Rendezvous Point and other neo prog acts like Steven Wilson, Enchant,, IQ , Lonely Robot

A multi-instrumentalist with extensive recording and performance experience, top rate gear, a diverse songwriter with excellent composition/arrangement skills!

I will consider musical projects based on a professional level situation where a clear direction is defined!
