about
The Story so far.......... Martigan was founded in March 1994 by the keyboarder Oliver Rebhan. He used his contacts in the local music-scene to unite different musicians in a new band. Rather than aiming at any commercial success the members of the band chose to write and perform music that met their personal preferences. The work of 2 weeks composing together with Kai Marckwordt, Jürgen Edlinger, Axel Schütze and Alex Bisch can definetly be named as "Progressive Rock". The first track was born - PAINTER. In the end of 1994 they recorded their first demo CD using two DAT recorders. This recording, produced during only at two weekends, served as master-tape for Martigans first Album. The album was named after the village where the bands first rehearsals took place: Stolzenbach Martigan then met cologne music-producer Rudolf Nepix who got interested in their music and encouraged them to start recording a second CD called “Ciel Ouvert”, which was released on the Label FLOH DUR in 1996 . Additionally, a Maxi-CD „Simplicius“ came out in early 1997 You will find all CD’s on the website www.martigan.com – Take a look at the Fansit to !: www.martigan-progrock.com........ Several concerts and gigs followed. A highlight in Martigans history up to now was a concert as support act of the Canadian Progressive Rock Band SAGA in Cologne. Guitar-player Juergen Edlinger left the group in the mid of 1998 because he became father for the second time :-) To fill in for Jue
