About Torgo
1. TORGO is a US act consisting of Farris Antoon (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Martin Antoon (guitars, soundscapes, vocals, keyboards), Ryan Talbot (bass, vocals, keyboards), Casey Wilkes (saxophone, clarinet, vocals) and Ian Paine-Jesam (percussion). All of the classically trained musicians, and aiming to give their fans a true to life multimedia experience when performing live. Their philosophy as far as performing goes: That the listener should feel like they are watching an opera, listening to a film score, and attending a rock concert all at once. But while their live sets makes up a substantial part of their package, they have found the time to record some of their material as well. Their first finalized studio recording were released digitally in October 2011 as the album Divinity Transmissions, Phase One: Salvation for the Dead. A production where the goal was to incorporate the many-faceted musical influcences each member have brought to the table, with Yes, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Igor Stravinsky, Steve Reich and Pytor Tchaikovsky heralded as the most important ones by the band.
