Meet the Party
Simon
Simon is the band’s primary composer, writer and producer. He enjoys video games, pasta, coffee, and poking Fiene to sing more things for him.
His “main” instrument is the piano. After thirty years of being self-taught, he even took some piano classes when we started the band, just to make sure.
His best spells are “Add Unexpected Change” and “Move Project ALONG!!!”
Fiene
Fiene is the band’s primary vocalist, occasional writer and rare composer. She enjoys video games, books, fries, and being an gent of chaos in Simon’s well-organised life.
Her main instrument is “the voice”, a strange entity she has been collaborating with for a long, long time. She also plays he piano, but the curse of forgetting has wiped out almost everthing she learned during her 10 years in music scool.
Her best spells are “Summon Catchy Phrase” and “Have Some Harmonies”.
Guest Adventurers
Miro
Miro is the band’s mastering engineer and has guided their musical explorations since the very first days. Many battles would have been lost without him.
He is also a main member of Avantasia and has a long history of “making music sound much better”.
His best spells are “Make Sound Like Real Music” and “Talk Nervous Young Musician Through Release Nerves”
Kaj
Kaj is one of the band’s main guitarists. He looks like a proper heavy metal dude and. has the long hair to prove it.
Kaj once saved a whole song by re-appearing at just the right moment, when all other guitarists had gone missing.
The name of his main party is “Neferious”.
His best spells are “Add Creative Solo” and “Yes, This Sounds Good”
Jean-Michel
Jean-Michel is the Band’s first ever real guitarist and has helped make many, many Niovel songs happen. He has studied the guitar so much, that he unlocked a whole extra mastery skill tree that allows him to bless many, many band projects with his expertise.
The name of his main party is “Red Ivy”.
His best spells are “Yes, It Can Be Played On Strings” and “No Tech Problem Ever”.
Nicole
Nicole is the band’s main call for backing vocals and sometimes, she helps Fiene sound more like a “person who knows how to sing this word specifically”.
She is also the first real duet partner for Fiene and features on one of the band’s title ballads.
Nicole travels across projects to add depth and “it just works” with her special vocal arrangement skills but she is also a beloved solo performer.
Her main spells are “Make Harmony” and “Correct Pronunciation”.
Hannah
Hannah is the band’s very first guest vocalist and one of the band’s longest collaborators. Like Jean-Michel and Miro, she has seen the band through 5 albums and never wavered in her vocal support. We like to summon her when we need either a “divine being” or a “dramatic villain”.
She actually expanded her singer class to “Professional Opera Singer” and works in the opera dungeons. She also has a sound engineering class, which makes working with her even easier.
Her best spells are “Add Opera” and “Dramatic Sound”.
Nassim
Nassim was first summoned to the band when Simon was on a side quest and has been a regular vocal addition ever since. She has a particularly well developed belting range and a wonderful speaking voice both of which she uses professionally.
Her singer class is “Musical Princess of the Coastal Regions” and she has assisted many, many vocal expeditions. You may have heard her on other things and not even realised.
Her best spells are “Cut Through Any Mix” and “Yes I Can Belt That Note”.
Nefeli
Nefeli is the newest addition to the band’s guest vocal roster and she is the only party member, other than Fiene, who has ever recorded something in Simon’s home studio.
She has recently finished her class expansion to “music teacher” but for the band, she usually taps into her “surprising lower range” and “soft fairy sounds” skill trees.
Her best spells are “Yes I Can Go Lower” and “Sustain Forever”.
Herbie
Herbie is the band’s secret weapon when it comes to upgrading anything to power metal. He is the first one to be summoned when something needs a very metal-y choir section and when Fiene has another “but I am not sure if tis is metal enough” crisis.
He has five other parties where he is a mien member, you might know him from Firewind or Avantasia.
His best spells are “Make Power Metal” and “Sing On And On”.
