Description/Reviews: 

The Multiform is Marco Masoni's first solo effort, after four prog releases with Germinale (a band he founded in the '90s), many guest appearances, years of artistic production, management and collaborations with important names in the Italian music scene.Marco Masoni has written songs in various musical styles: pop, prog, rock, acoustic, ballads.
He requested a subtitle for his work to explain that he wrote descriptive lyrics (cathartic landscapes), with a sense and a moral (Operetta moral), and also added his own music to other artists' words.
Marco Masoni here plays bass guitar, acoustic and classical guitar, sings, arranges and produces his own music. The Multiform has also four different electric guitarists, two keyboardists, three drummers, two flutists and a piano player.
