Unitopia
Unitopia is a musical adventure comprising the vocal and song writing skills of Mark Trueack, the production, song writing, keyboard & vocal skills of Sean Timms, the guitar & vocal prowess of Matt Williams, the bass and vocal talents of Shireen Khemlani, the combined drum/percussion batteries of Monty Ruggiero and Tim Irrgang and the remarkable multi-instrumentalism of Mike Stewart.
Unitopia endeavours to draw from the heart and soul of the listener, thought provoking topics such as environmental awareness, political and social upheaval, media misrepresentation, the hectic pace of life and human relationships in a positive and uplifting light.
Using a progressive rock framework as a basis for Sean and Marks compositions, the pair quickly established a great writing rapport, extending the style to include elements of world, classical, heavy rock and dance.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Unitopia began when a mutual friend introduced Mark and Sean after realising the two had very similar musical tastes. In 1997 the duo began work on a track which was to become 'Take Good Care'. This formulated into a prolific and exciting song writing partnership culminating in the completion of their debut album 'More Than A Dream' in 2005.
