Nodo Godiano Project begins its run in 1994 after the meeting between Andrea De Luca (bass, vocals), Alessandro Papotto (wind instruments, vocals) and Tony Zito (drums). The first line up was completed with the arrivals of Roberto Proietto (guitars) and Fabio D'Andrea (keyboards). The band, during 1995 and 1996, plays basically Genesis and King Crimson covers and Radio Rock, with other private networks, promote live gigs in important live exhibitions in Rome. In 1997, after the keyboardist departure, the quartet creates and records for promotional purposes the music that would be in the first omonimous studio album, produced by Lizard Label the following year, and gigs with John Wetton playing King Crimson covers. In 1998 the band collaborates with Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (playing also live with Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese), appears on national networks, plays live extensively and exhibits in several Alternative Rock Festivals
In 1999, a few months after official first out, Alessandro Papotto and Tony Zito leave the project to engage themselves in other musical projects. Andrea De Luca, after Roberto Proietto defection, continues in Nodo Gordiano musicians search and collects new ideas for the next band incarnation.

In 2002 the new thing appears. Andrea meets the drummer Carlo Fattorini (Der Blaue Reiter, Magog) and Fabrizio Santoro (guitars, also with Magog e Oak). Now the band plays as a trio, open, like in Nodo Gordiano best tradition, towards any form of musical adventure. Among other collaborations, during the first 10 years, the names of Antonello De Zelis, Max G.B. Tommasi and Alberto D'Annibale have to be mentioned for their contributions. A direct recording of King Crimson's Lament (with Andrea Amici, Leviathan, playing keyboards) has been chosen in 2003 in order to appear in the 3CD box The Letters, devoted to King Crimson fans.
In 2004 Fabrizio left the band choosing to go ahead as bass player. The band completed a new line up with the arrival of keyboardist Gianluca Cottarelli. The following year the trio published with Mellow Records label the album Alea, a collection of improvisations embellished by the precious graphic work of the artist Carla Nico.
In 2007 Andrea and Carlo create the recording studio in which the new album Flektogon comes to reality, with the contributions of saxophonist and flutist Franco Terralavoro and soprano Silvia Scozzi.
