Presenting themselves as Middle Eastern Sci-fi Fusion, Consider The Source is a musical melting pot of Middle Eastern scales, psychedelic jams, and a hard rocking rhythm section. The band features Gabriel Marin on fretless double neck guitar, John Ferrara on bass, and Justin Ahiyon on drums/percussion.
The group lists influences from world music, jazz and rock, and bands like The Bad Plus, Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson, Primus, Meshuggah and Tool, Consider The Source has developed a signature sound like no other. Crisscrossing the United States seven times in the last two years, the band has established a well-deserved reputation for exciting and propulsive live performances, all of which will be on display at ProgDay 2012.
The band’s discography includes Esperanto (2007), Are You Watching Closely? (2009) and That’s What’s Up (2010).
Consider The Source will join Accordo Dei Contrari (Italy), Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic (US), Karcius (Canada) and Ephemeral Sun at ProgDay 2012, the 18th edition of the longest running progressive rock festival in the world.
