Pandora biography
The band was born in September 2005, when Claudio Colombo (drummer) decided to start a musical project with keyboardists Beppe Colombo and Corrado Grappeggia. At first, their main inspiration came from the progressive rock of the 1970s - they wrote their own music drawing from groups such as Genesis, Yes, P. F. M, New Trolls, Dream Theater, etc....
So, Pandora began as a group dedicated to the composition of progressive pieces - giving life first to large pieces that espouse fantasy and research sounds and melodies. They show the harmony of a group that combines the emergance of Beppe's experience, the musical culture and composition of Corrado, and the talent of Claudio.
The band is open to cooperation with many musicians to ensure that their musical project reaches a good conclusion. In the first years, these collaborations will not lead mainly positive results for the inconsistencies of the musical ideas, but the project of Pandora will live on. The band has done some acoustic concerts that were pretty successful, maintaining the desire for the group to continue.
So begins the recent history of the band: in February 2008 after several concerts, Pandora signed their first recording contract with the record label Milanese AMS-BTF, specializing in the production and distribution of progressive rock. In the same month Pandora welcomed the young, talented guitar player Christian Dimasi into its lineup.
In 2008, the group registered their first CD entitled Dramma di un Poeta Ubriaco ; it contains original songs that represent the path of Pandora's project. It does not contain simple songs, but, through accourate research and attention to detail, the group wanted to explore various expressions of progressive rock: from hard rock to medieval compositions, jazz and symphonic melodies. The stories therein weave between personal problems and fantasy stories inspired by the symbol of Pandora's box.
The objective of the group has been to create music with an harmonic and original sound leaving the schemes that most of the music today has, avoiding the trivial and the foreseeable. The band has tried to reproduce a sound of the past in a modern key, trying to highlight the importance of music that is set aside today many times in favour of commerce.

Об альбоме (сборнике)

Pandora are back! The band from Piedmont, among the most devoted to the prog-rock sound of the golden years, and therefore loved by fans of the genre, comes today as a trio, composed of two keyboard players Beppe Colombo and Corrado Grappeggia - the latter singing too - and the multiinstrumentalist Claudio Colombo, whose work is on this disc is literally awesome, given his ability in juggling all over drums, guitar, bass, flute and other instruments. They use to say that the third album is a crucial one for a band: with Alibi philosophical Pandora takes a complete risk, making the most complex work of their career, without any simple commercial expedient. The mixture of various musical genres is here in full, in the purest progressive spirit, and is reflected in the surreal album cover and in the rest of the artwork, courtesy of the young artist Emoni Viruet, also committed to choirs and vocals. The album has a number of important guests, including Dino Fiore (Castello di Atlante), Arjen Lucassen (best known for being the mastermind of the Ayreon project) and David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator). The latter, in particular, makes a significant contribution, not only with his saxophone, but especially with the use of a system he himself invented named Soundbeam Switches, that can generate sounds from simple gestures and without the use of a real musical instrument: Jackson uses it to bring young kids with disabilities in the Meldreth Manor School closer to music, and the result can be heard in the song Apollo; this and the next Tony il Matto (Tony the Fool) are the most experimental tracks, often suspended in between jazzrock and avant-garde. Other important guests.
