INTRODUCTION A lost love, the hard times and the eclipse. 9 tales to share life stories, the good and the bad ones, mixed with the romanticism of the orchestra and the complexity of prog metal. 

GENRE Symphonic/prog metal 

BIOGRAPHY Born in the 2015, Entropy Coding is a band created by the keyboardist and main composer Susanna Coltrè. The main purpose of this project is to reinterpret in a new way the symphonic metal genre, using prog and power metal elements with innovative voices. She needed to collaborate with 10 musicians, specialized in different musical genres. In January 2018, the debut album “Tales of the Moon” is out in digital distribution with the music label Agoge Records. A contribution to this project was the meeting with the producer Gianmarco Bellumori (Agoge Records), who was able to give form to Susanna's work, creating an original and personal sound during the recording period made at Wolf Recording Studio: so Tales Of The Moon has taken life!

Susanna: for now we can’t say what our live equipment will be. We collaborate with a lot of musicians and they use differents setup according to the studio or live experience. As the founder of the project, I can just talk about my keyboards: Korg Krome 73, Korg TR88 and my home-made keytar Eteria.

We don’t think to have one. We appreciate a lot of music genres because we can learn something from them. 

14.If you could custom build a band who would be the members?

We’d like to see a band with Marco Minnemann as Drummer, Ashe O’Hara and Floor Jansen as Singers, Derek Sherinian as Keyboardist, Tony Levin as bassist and Petrucci as Guitarist. It’s a strange and absurd mix, but it can work!

15.Message to the fans? What is it?
If you have a dream, just work hard for it and follow it, even if you’re alone. At the end of the journey, all your efforts will be rewarded.
