In 2011, when I was 16, I started compose a scratch made of chords and solos in a guitar lesson. It was the seed. 

I kept watering it over and over with the constant supervision of my guitar professor, Nicholas Ratcliffe. I learned bass guitar, piano, a lot about production, mixing, recording and explored various effects and instruments. I wanted to try everything, explore all possibilities, discover more and more. 

I was listening to big progressive musicians like Opeth, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and they were my main influence at the time with their beautiful harmonies and their complexity. 

It was a huge adventure to reach simplicity through complexity and to make this music. 

A seed that ignited a passion, a dream and a travel. 

A seed that is gradually transforming into branches, flowers, fruits and, of course, larger and stronger roots.

Masque was a band which we began in 1981 in the suburbs of Melbourne. Our aim was to make some original progressive rock and play it in pubs, then make some recordings. Original members were: Bass Brian Coghlan followed by Steve Cochrane, Drums Bill Coombes, Keyboards Tony Hopkins, Voice Larry Miles and Guitar Nick Theodore. The band broke up in 1983.
