Info for Maestro

“Music was his passion. His life, his love… his all.” Book-ended by the two parts that make up the album’s centrepiece, “Opus Imperfectus”, Maestro is Magic Pie’s long-awaited 6th studio album, years in the making.

“Maestro! Where did you go? People ask and I need to know.” Does life imitate art, or is it the other way around?

Magic Pie is a Norwegian progressive rock band formed in 2001, known for their intricate compositions, symphonic arrangements, and blend of vintage and modern influences. Highly regarded in the international prog community, Magic Pie’s music explores themes of introspection, existentialism, and human emotion. Drawing inspiration from bands like Dream Theater, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Deep Purple, Yes and many more - their music incorporates complex time signatures, lush keyboards, and dynamic guitar work, mixing elements of symphonic rock, jazz, and even folk.

Fronted by the charismatic Icelandic singer and lyricist Eirikur Hauksson and “maestro-mind” & composer Kim Stenberg, Magic Pie continues to strive for higher & bigger musical conquests. “Follow your vision, fulfil your dream”

Magic Pie

Magic Pie
The band was established in Norway, late November 2001, when guitarist Kim Stenberg invited musicians from his hometown Moss to form a band, destined to play their self-composed Prog-Rock. Almost twenty years later, the band is still alive and kicking, but now only with its founder Stenberg - still in charge.

The early years was a journey into the unknown, with the band scrutinizing the complexity and variety of Prog. All curves and every bends were taken, improvising with different styles and directions. Eventually these “pioneers” found their platform, - as well as their name, when “Motions of Desire” was released in 2005.

From first chord played, Kim’s determination was to create a special sound that in both presence and future would always be recognizable for fans and followers. Lend your ears to all five releases and you’ll be convinced. Each album reveals a wide variety of styles, with both modern and “old-school” approaches. Each and every song can range from soft emotional parties to rough metal-riffs, but there is always this easily recognizable and unique Magic Pie style in every tone.

There is no doubt that this band managed to develop and establish their own signature, in both sound and expression.

“Magic Pie make all the right noises; most prominently, Genesis pastorale, Van der Graaf drama and Yes-style harmony blankets – often all in one song. The Pie’s most personally unique feature’s are Stenberg’s squalling axe filling every available crevice and Hauksson’s fixation with delivering a pitch-perfect Bowie.” - Prog Magazine
