Planisphere

Planisphere is an instrumental-rock band hailing from Cologne, Germany, who draw inspiration from the progressive rock of the past century. Their music blends the rhythmic complexity and melodic richness of classic prog with hints of post-rock, instrumental, and math-rock, resulting in a sound that’s intricate, dynamic, and sometimes hypnotic. Collaborations and creative experimentation within the band bring together a range of influences, giving Planisphere’s work a contemporary edge while honoring the spirit of earlier progressive music.

Their releases—including albums like "Mindstory" and "Into the Known"—showcase their evolving style and commitment to crafting thoughtful, engaging instrumental pieces. As active musicians in the modern rock scene, they maintain a presence through digital platforms and continue to connect with listeners who appreciate adventurous, guitar-driven compositions.
