Florida-based bassist and composer Fernando Molinari has officially released the full stream of his latest studio effort, “Numen,” a five-track EP that further cements his standing as a prominent figure in the contemporary Fusion and Progressive Rock landscape. Following the success of his previous solo outings, including “Built by Elements” and “REACHING INSIDE,” this new release sees Molinari leading an elite ensemble of international virtuosic talent.

The EP, which arrived on June 16, 2026, serves as a masterclass in technical interplay, blending elements of Jazz-Rock, Progressive Metal, and even Flamenco Fusion. Molinari, who handled all writing, production, and arrangement duties, provides the melodic and rhythmic backbone on bass, supported by a rotating cast of high-caliber collaborators.
Notable among the personnel is drummer Marco Minnemann, whose signature polyrhythmic style anchors the tracks “Minerva,” “Netuno,” and “Gemina.” The guitar work is equally formidable, featuring Andre Nieri on the opening two tracks and Joao Hanysz contributing both acoustic and electric layers to “Mitra” and “Marte.” The EP also explores diverse textures with the inclusion of Mariko Muranaka on cello and a piano solo by Chris Clark on “Gemina.”
