Biography
Rockaphonica is a Symphonic Rock project lead by Argentinean flutist/composer Ricardo Luna.
Being as he is an experienced session musician, his major areas of interest in the past were melodic rock and modern Creole fusion. His first solo efforts were in the new-age scene (he has released two independent CDs of that style). With the new millennium came new interests in his mind, always connected to the artsy side of popular music.
In order to shape and express his devotion for Symphonic Rock (especially Camel), he summoned keyboardist Andrés Bonelli, bassist Roberto Encinas and drummer Gustavo González, and so Rockaphonica was born. Released in 2005, "Fuera de Tiempo" is a testimony of the candid, colorful and clean melodic approach to the standards of Symphonic Prog that the band was headed for. Besides the obvious Camel influence (the album actually includes three covers from this band's classic material), you can also hear hints to the calmer side of Focus, Solaris, as well as affinities to Lito Vitale and other compatriot modern fusion acts.
Rockaphonica is especially recommended to all Symphonic Prog lovers who don't mind a bit of bucolic and slight fusionesque elements.
