Four Inches by Pryzme

Biography
The project was born from the meeting of David and Dominique, singer guitarists, in early 2014.

The common influences and the desire to create a setlist of original compositions oriented towards progressive rock are at the origin of the creation of the band.

After several months in the home studio, and a first finalized model of 8 pieces, a first formation was born in January 2015. Initially called Lingus, the band began multiple concerts in Brittany and elsewhere.

The line up then finds its balance with the arrival of Maxence on bass at the end of 2018, then Gabrielle on drums in 2019. This is the birth of Pryzme, a name more in line with the sound universe and the music offered; name which is also a nod to the cover of Dark Side Of The Moon.

Newly renamed, the band then began a new series of concerts and worked on a first self-produced album which was released in September 2021 under the name 'Four inches'. Album of 8 titles which comes to concretize and materialize the work of compositions and arrangement which has gradually matured over the years.

Recently, Lucas Planque on drums and Benoit Toquet on bass replaced the bass drum section. Young drummer, and fan of Gavin Harrison, Lucas comes to bring a different rhythmic aesthetic, more technical and turned towards prog rock (to follow on youtube - @LucasPlanque). Benoit comes from progressive metal both as a guitarist and bassist

(Lux Aeterna, Alternine, Devoid). His studio and stage experience brings new energy (Youtube - @benoittoquet8712). Pryzme's music can be described as airy and accessible progressive rock.

The multiple influences range from Pink Floyd to Yes, from Sting to Steven Wilson, from Pat Metheny to Toto

and many others... On stage, Pryzme is a journey that takes the audience to lands where rock, prog, jazz, and sometimes even metal meet. These are drums, bass, two guitars, samples and four voices at the service of catchy melodies and subtle arrangements. A nuanced music, a controlled sound, assumed influences, original compositions in a very polished style, which wants to be accessible to all audiences, informed or not.

Four Inches
Four inches is a self-produced album that represents the culmination of several years of work.

It is a starting point that now allows Pryzme to exist in the world of prog rock.
The 8 titles of the album are a mixture of many influences which make music accessible both to lovers of the genre but also to new ears who did not necessarily know this style of music. It's a very open album.

The recording was made under special conditions. The members of the band had to go all together in the studio but the session was stopped dead because of the confinement. The recording took longer than expected. Apart from Pretty Princess which could be recorded live, the sessions were very cut out. The mix was also delayed for the same reasons. This is also an opportunity to thank once again the work done by Clément Champigny and Jérome Acquiers from studio 123, who did a remarkable job in terms of mixing given the complexity of the arrangements and the
