Progression By Failure is a project by a young French composer named Nicolas Piveteau. He was born in 1981 and started to play keyboards at the age of 10. He also plays guitar and drums.

This project is to him a vision of progressive music, a panorama of power & emotions. The songs are beautiful melodies with power riffs & light atmosphere, the lack of which the author considers clichés of standard progressive music.

Progression By Failure is influenced by modern prog rock, of course, but also by metal & pop.

The songs are written as a tribute to Prog bands like Spock's Beard (Memories From The Future) & Transatlantic (Progression By Failure), dark metal Prog like Opeth & Meshuggah (Desperate Anger) and symphonic prog groups like Therion (Talion).
