Whimsical was born in late 2017 as a solo project by Enrico Marchiotto (Watershape, Andy Martongelli, Alchemy Victory, Dear Sasha, Dan Xikidi ..) focused on progressive rock, but declined towards instrumental music from a soundtrack.

In 2018 "Steamed Landscapes" was released which means "steamed landscapes", to indicate a range of landscapes subjected to the same processing procedure (the prog), "cooked" in steam, to maintain their essence.

In that year a band was formed under the banner of Whimsical to bring the songs of the cd live, seasoned with covers of Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and Toto.
Between 2019 and 2020 the band performs various lives between Verona and Vicenza, members of the six-fold formation and effectively losing the form of the solo project.
In July 2021, Whimsicals together with Shades of Prog, a prog festival in Verona with Dark Ages and Dark Quarterer. In 2022 they release Emissary.
