BALLARD is back on the scene with a brand new release “SYZYGY" (Featuring Brett Garsed)

This new release features a lush and vibrant sound, with diverse influences and features a collaboration with Brett Garsed, the legendary Australian guitar virtuoso who has worked with artists as diverse as Planet X, John Farman and TJ Helmerich, only to mention a few.

Falling somewhere between the vast soundscapes of progressive music and the massive weight of rock-metal with evocative sounds, odd times groove and also a choir in unison with the lead guitar. ”SYZYGY” is certainly going to lift up your spirit with a stunning and immersive listening experience. The music is dedicated to an astronomical event and also has a philosophical reading (Syzygy is a term used by Carl Jung to indicate the union of opposites).

This track is highly recommended to any fans of artists such as Plini, Porcupine Tree, Steve Vai, Nick Johnston, Animals As Leaders, and in general for fans of contemporary progressive rock.
At the end of the day, "SYZYGY" feels like a great combination of a wide range of creative influences and a visionary approach to music production and composition, highlighting the artist’s talent and personality when it comes to great soundscapes.

Who is BALLARD?
BALLARD is the musical world of Paolo Ballardini, a rock guitarist who in his twenty-year career has always tried to broaden his musical horizons. He works as a session man in musical orchestras (Pretty Woman, Mamma Mia!, Saturday Night Fever etc ...) and TV orchestra.

In the progressive field, since 2015 he is the guitarist of “EXCALIBUR” opera-rock by the Breton artist Alan Simon; here the context of contamination, with roots in the most classic prog-rock, gave him the opportunity to share the stage with some icons such as Martin Barre (JETHRO TULL), Michael Sadler (SAGA), Richard Palmer (KING CRIMSON), John Helliwell (SUPERTRAMP), Moya Brennan (CLANNAD) and many others.
