Drummer Luca Cartasegna is a greatly skilled player, noted for his double-bass work and lightning fast hands. Currently he is playing with Civilization One, an international musical entity comprised of musicians from Sri Lanka, Italy, and France creating timeless heavy metal with neoclassical, symphonic aggression.



Previously Cartasegna played with Secret Sphere and Mortuary Drape. He joined Secret Sphere in the second half of 1998, replacing original drummer Cristiano Scagliotti.



Luca Cartasegna recorded three albums (along with Civilization One bandmate Aldo Lonobile) while in Secret Sphere: "Scent of Human Desire", "A Time Nevercome", and "Mistress of the Shadowlight". In 2004 Luca Cartasegna amicably left Secret Sphere after the release of "Scent Of Human Desire" due to musical differences, but has found the perfect outlet for his percussive skills in Civilization One.



In March 2004 Secret Sphere announced to have recruited Dave Simeone (Eldritch) to sit behind the kit as a replacement for Luca Cartasegna.



Civilization One's line-up is completed by Chitral "Chity" Somapala (vocals), Aldo Lanobile (guitar; Secret Sphere), Vivian Lalu (keyboards; Lalu, Shadrane), and Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson (bass; ex-Heavenly, Maladaptive).
