The Foundation of a Global Sound Marc Fettarappa’s journey didn’t start under the glare of arena lights, but in the focused silence of early practice rooms and the intimate, smoke-filled air of local rock clubs. Every chord struck in those foundational years was a deliberate step toward the more prog-inspired sound he is known for today. This period was a meticulous exploration of musical boundaries, where classical training met raw, edgy experimentation. Influenced by legends of both traditional composition and modern rhythm, Marc spent his formative years crafting a signature style that balances technical precision with profound emotional depth, setting the stage for a career defined by innovation and a relentless pursuit of auditory excellence. 1980 The First Chords Beginning the rock journey in the underground Geneva circuit, after having studied piano and trombone. Diving head on into 80's hard rock with Swordfish, Rixx and other local bands. 1993 to 1998 The Darts Covering songs with an attitude 1992 Sevilla Expo 92 Marc was asked to replace the bass player of CERN band Abraxas days before flying to Sevilla. Abraxas played main act with Les Horribles Cernettes (the first ever picture on the web) as supporting act. They were later told we played "to" 636'000 visitors that day.
