AISLES
Having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, progressive rock band Aisles have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and have performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.
In 2005, Aisles released their debut album, “The Yearning”, praised for its elegant and delicate melodic work. In 2009, their second album, “In Sudden Walks”, inspired by existential literature and drama, was nominated for Best Foreign Record at the Prog Awards in Italy. Their third record, “4:45 AM” (2013) was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications specialized in progressive rock. Their fourth studio album, “Hawaii” (2016), a concept album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece”. The success of “Hawaii” allowed Aisles to tour Europe, the United States and Mexico.
In 2018, the band released the EP "Live from Estudio del Sur," accompanied by four live-recorded videos available on YouTube. Their fifth album, "Beyond Drama," was released on April 5, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group. On June 30, 2023, they released the instrumental suite "Bahamut," inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name written by Chilean author Francisco Ortega. In May 2024, they released the EP “Obras de Los Jaivas”, where they tribute Chilean prog folk group Los Jaivas, featuring four guest singers. Four months later, they released the track “The Dream”, introducing the new singer Boris Seeder.

YUVAL RON
The music features virtuosic performances of various compelling and colourful compositions, produced on top of richly arranged orchestral, some say sci-fi film-like backgrounds, atmospheric soundscapes and various sound effects drawing the listener into a total, electrifying experience.
The compositions place a constant emphasis on harmonic richness and rhythmical sophistication, while maintaining a fine balance between intricately detailed group arrangements and the players' individual expression.
"Progressive guitarists such as Yuval Ron are clearly among the 'ruling elite' of modern musicians" – Metal Temple
Somewhere in this Universe, Somebody Hits Drum is guitarist YUVAL RON’s newest album, released in Oct 2019 via own label Wrong Notes Music. The crew, featuring MARCO MINNEMANN (drummer for The Aristocrats, Jordan Rudess, Tony Levin, Steven Wilson and Joe Satriani to name a few), is taking off on a mission, to explore the vast musical universe, hence the album’s title and inspiration.
The album, which was over three years in the making, features six beautiful and profound compositions placing a strong emphasis on big, orchestral, film music-like arrangements and production. On top of those, the players make some virtuosic and passionate performances, soloing over the tunes while
keeping their original intent. It leaves the listener fascinated throughout the extensive pieces, traveling through space with tunes like “Gravitational Lensing”, “The Discovery of Phoebe” and “I Believe in Astronauts”.
The album's outstanding production got Yuval to endorsements with leading instrument and audio makers such as Fractal Audio, iZotope and ADAM Audio.
Touring globally, Yuval has performed in some of the world's major jazz and music festivals and recorded several albums and live videos with his bands, as well as instructional material. Alongside these, Yuval is a session guitarist, audio engineer, music producer and entrepreneur.
