April 17, 2006"The Infinite Wonders of Creation" by Guitar Virtuoso Luca Turilli to Be Released in the U.S.A. June 6, 2006Press release Best known as lead guitarist, co-composer and co-founder of symphonic film-score metal flag bearers Rhapsody, Luca Turilli is an experienced and accomplished musician. With his third solo album entitled The Infinite Wonders of Creation, Turilli ends his epic trilogy. The trilogy began in the 1999 with King of the Nordic Twilight, followed by Prophet of the Last Eclipse, both of which commanded impressive chart positions in Germany, as well as other countries around the world. While the first album was lyrically and musically inspired by a fantasy tale created by Luca, the second album represented an evolution for Luca's "typical" sound. Lyrically, the album was influenced by one of his favorite science-fiction movies: Event Horizon, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. In order to turn the mystic atmosphere of the cosmic landscapes into music, Luca started incorporating some unique and experimental elements to his music, with an array of futuristic and electronic sounds. After exploring and exhausting the topics of the past and the future, Luca's vision led him to create a musical representation of the present in order to complete the trilogy. With The Infinite Wonders of Creation, Turilli composed a symphony dedicated to Mother Nature; a topic that has inspired and invigorated him musically and philosophically. Immediately capturing the imagination of the listener with atmospheric sounds and continuing to draw them in with operatic female vocals and symphonic instrumentation, it becomes immediately clear that The Infinite Wonders Of Creation is an intimate and abstract album covering a wide range of themes: life, death, good, evil, the cosmos and philosophy. Songs like "Mother Nature" and "Altitudes" display the dual elegance and power of Turilli's compositions. The Infinite Wonders Of Creation marks the debut of Luca's dual musical talents: as a guitar virtuoso and also as a prodigious keyboardist. Turilli is joined by the same band members who performed on the two previous albums: vocalist Olaf Hayer, bassist Sascha Paeth and drummer Robert Hunecke-Rizzo and guest vocalist Bridget Fogle. The Infinite Wonders of Creation presents the logical extension of Luca's well known musical attributes, both musically and lyrically; a voyage into the inner workings of artist, thinking man, and maestro. This album both wraps up one chapter in Luca's career and points to magnificent possibilities in his future. Track Listing For The Infinite Wonders Of Creation: 1) Secrets Of Forgotten Ages For more information visit www.lucaturilli.net and www.magiccirclemusic.com. Guitar virtuoso Luca Turilli, best known for his work as lead guitarist, co-composer and co-founder in film score metal band Rhapsody, has presented us with his new band: Luca Turilli's Dreamquest. Not wishing this to be viewed just as a side project, Luca asserts that Dreamquest is an additional outlet for the abundance of overflowing musical ideas of this prolific composer. Fear not Rhapsody fans, Dreamquest, while an entirely separate band, will not interfere with Rhapsody's progress. The debut album, Lost Horizons introduces a new style and technique to Luca's already mighty repertoire, enriched by modern elements: new metal, opera, techno-electronic music and gothic-symphonic atmospheres. Lost Horizons displays Luca's previously unknown ability to call forth majestic tones from the keyboard. The unique sounds produced by Luca's instrumentation bring forth musical landscapes and haunting melodies, invoking images of sirens and nymphs. Luca's passion for the keyboard is clear. Before founding Rhapsody with keyboardist Alex Staropoli, Luca had studied piano. However, Rhapsody's immediate success had encouraged Luca to focus his efforts on the guitar, an instrument that he had already mastered. Three years ago, Luca felt inspired to return to the keyboard, influenced by the melancholic melodies of great artists such as Chopin and Alexander Scriabin. Luca Turilli's Dreamquest gives Luca the opportunity to unleash the pianist inside of him. Luca Turilli's Dreamquest is the fulfillment of a dream that Luca has had in mind for many years and he is looking forward to the opportunity to perform Dreamquest material in a live forum as soon as possible. The music on Lost Horizons combines powerful metal instrumentation with angelic, operatic, female vocals to create a sound that might best be described as 'Symphonic Electro-Metal'. The first single "Virus," is a prime example of the majestic musical flavor that Dreamquest is made of, while the operatic "Sospiro Divino" showcases the boundless possibilities presented by this exciting new band. Although favorable comparisons to popular acts are inevitable, make no mistake: Luca Turilli's Dreamquest is a fresh and unique experience.
