The debut album "Sonic Birth" by The Progressive Souls
Collective (TPSC) is special in many ways.
Florian Zepf (guitar) and the driving force at TPSC was able to convince his international prog music colleagues Aquiles Priester (ex-Angra & Tony MacAlpine, drums), Conner Green (otherwise working full-time with Haken onbass), Kevin Moore (ex-Dream Theater, O.S.I., Chroma
Key) in the area of loops and programming as well as Luis Conte (among others, he was the percussionist for Phil Collins) to work together on the album.

Special guest:
Derek Sherinian (keyboards)

As a very special guest, keyboard maestro Derek Sherinian (Sons of Apollo, Ex-Dream Theater, and many more) had the honour to personally record all keyboardparts on the entire album. This gave the recordings a
very special touch not least in terms of virtuosity, sound design and of course character. Florian met with Derek in his studio in Burbank, where they worked together on the album.

Vladimir Lalic, himself musically on the road with the Serbian prog metal band Organized Chaos and meanwhile more than an insider tip, took over the lead vocals. Vladimir convinces because of his enormous vocal range, the vocal melodies and his style. His extraordinary vocal parts are a figurehead for the whole album.
