Vipassi was originally made as a project between drummer Daniel Presland and guitarist Ben Boyle as far back as 2007 to explore new concepts and sounds not currently engaged by their projects at the time. However, the band has since then grown and expanded to an international connection of like-minded musicians and virtuosos with Arran McSporran (Fretless Bass) and Benjamin Baret (Guitars).
