Real name: Ellsworth Hall

Effective period / Period of releases: 2003

Keyboardist/composer Ellsworth Hall took the Olde English antecedent of his first name ("Aethellis-worth") and has used it for his own project Aethellis, on which he plays all the instruments (keyboards, guitar, digi-drums/acoustic drum loops) and sings all the vocals. Taking the traditional elements of progressive rock, Aethellis blends them with contemporary rhythms, sounds and styles. This sounds like the album Tony Banks should have made after A Curious Feeling. In fact a lot of this would fit well on Genesis’ 1980s albums as proggier pieces
