Description

Dystopia is a bold, bass-driven progressive album created by three of the world's most influential and stylistically distinct bassists: Alberto Rigoni (Italy), Michael Manring (USA), and Stuart Hamm (USA). Fusing progressive rock, metal, fusion, cinematic atmospheres, and experimental textures, the project pushes the expressive limits of the bass guitar. Exploring themes of collapse and rebirth, Dystopia captures the sound of a fractured world moving toward regeneration. Layered compositions, dynamic interplay, and cross-genre influences create a powerful and immersive musical journey. Rigoni brings modern progressive grooves and melodic clarity shaped by a prolific solo career and collaborations with artists including Jeff Scott Soto, Jordan Rudess, Marco Minnemann, and Gavin Harrison. Manring contributes his signature hyper-melodic, textural approach, adding depth and emotional weight. Hamm anchors the album with unmistakable tone, virtuosic phrasing, and rhythmic authority forged through his legendary work with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Frank Gambale. Special guest Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus) delivers instantly recognizable polyrhythmic intensity, while David Menoudakis adds precision and power, completing the album's dynamic rhythmic foundation.
