SIIILK is a French progressive rock project founded in 2010 in Lyon. The group emerged from the collaboration of five musicians with long-standing roots in the French progressive and art‑rock scene: Gilbert Gandil, Jacques Roman, Richard Pick, Guillaume Antonicelli and Attilio Terlizzi. Gandil en Roman were previously known as co‑founders of the influential band Pulsar, active since the mid‑1970s. Roman also composed music for theatre productions by Wladyslaw Znorko between 1989 and 1990. Richard Pick contributed to several recording projects, including Diphonia (1994) with Philip Barraqué, Tanpura Tribute (2004) with Thomas Clements, and later work with the band Déjà Vu. SIIILK’s debut album, Way to Lhassa, was released in 2013 by the Musea label. The album blends progressive rock with poetic and atmospheric elements, drawing on imagery that spans European lowlands, Indian landscapes and Himalayan regions. The music incorporates a wide palette of instruments, including: Mellotron and keyboards, Electric and acoustic guitars, Drums and percussion, Brass instruments, Tampura, Armenian duduk, Indian santur, Layered vocal textures, This rich instrumentation and the album’s narrative approach place SIIILK firmly within the tradition of classic European progressive rock, while maintaining a contemporary and cinematic character.
