Plini

Plini Roessler-Holgate is an Australian guitarist and composer from Sydney who has become one of the most important names in instrumental prog rock over the past decade. His music stands out for exceptional melodic sensibility combined with polished technique and high-quality production he oversees himself.

Albums such as Handmade Cities (2016) and Impulse Voices (2022) are essential listening in the genre. Plini has collaborated with other prog pillars including Intervals, Jakub Zytecki and Sithu Aye, and has signed with UNFD to broaden his reach. His guitars of choice include Strandberg and Ormsby models that reflect his modern aesthetic.

Despite his virtuosity, Plini never sacrifices emotion for technique. His compositions have a clear narrative: every note feels necessary. That ability to make the complex seem simple, and the technically demanding feel emotional, is what sets him apart from his generation of instrumental guitarists.
