2) Panopticon is also a Jazz band. "To Be In Music" is PaNoPTiCoN's only goal.
This project idea emerged while Domenico Solazzo was recording his latest album, "Multiply", in which he invited several other musicians to a creative partnership. Some collaborations sounded better than expected hence their will to make it big and live! Inspired by the great mastery of 70's electric jazz improvisers and pioneers, PaNoPTiCoN is a sonic laboratory that takes life on stage only, where no one knows what to expect, including the musicians themselves ! Improvisation at its extreme best articulated around three axis: mood, groove and melody. At this moment, there are no core members. The PaNoPTiCoN's formula is an open invitation to anyone willing to dive into the most beautiful mystical forms of music.One show after another, the music played by the band should and will be different as the band itself!

3) Panopticon is a Progressive Metal band formed in Brighton, UK, with influences stretching as far as Rush, Children of Bodom, Tool and Racer X.

4) Progressive Trance group consisting of Ben McPherson, Damon Fonooni and Darius Kohanim.
