Music

release: 24 April 2011 Il Cavallo Spaiato is about schizophrenia, music is quite lunatic and moves continuously from avant-prog to glitch/jungle/hardtek, like two clashing identities in same body. Song Flipback is inspired by italian showgirl (and icon) Raffaella Carrà and her far above-the-mainstream songs, particularly "Ma Che Musica Maestro". Of course results are less commercial. I also made a bebop/avant rework on Jeux d'Eau by Maurice Ravel.

release: 12 December 2010 Mock Thrill is a record about suffer, solitude and hypocrisy, and it's dedicated to people who are or feel stump.

release: 27 October 2010 Very fast record (12 tracks for 18 minutes), minimal in song duration, but also an admixture among mean and animal, primitive, sometimes solar tunes.

release: 26 September 2010 This record is a brief journey through Dada art movement. Opening track is dedicated to Cabaret Voltaire, a swiss nightclub where all started by a group of european artists. First founder, and subject of second track, was Hugo Ball (he wrote the small poem I-Zimbra, which was subsequently used as a lyrics by Talking Heads in their namesake song). Hence continues the portrait gallery of Dadaists, interrupted sometimes by three small tracks called Shiver.

release: 9 August 2010 This EP includes first 4 tracks from Dada (Cabaret Voltaire).

release: 5 June 2010 It's a story about a doped killer on the way to catch his victim, during a whole night in Savannah (GA). Five scenes includes an introduction (The Wanderer), where the killer wake up from drugs effects, and the subsequent route through the latin area (La Posada de Joaquín Ortega), downtown (Downtown Strut), actually on Savannah harbour (Port of Savannah). Last three minutes of blistering hysterical chase are enclosed in ending track, Gotcha.

release: 4 April 2010 First part is made by eight portraits (Jörð, Odin, Sif, Thor, Baldr, Loki, Freyr and Heimdall), plus two finals tracks: Ragnarök ("final destiny of the gods"), in Norse mythology is a series of major events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Freyr, Heimdall, and the jötunn Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water; and Epilogue, referring to the afterwar.  Music is avantprog, loosely inspired by Magma, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, EL&P.

release: 16 December 2009 It's the first section of 3 about Harry's saga, always on the run between rebellion and his ghosts.  In this first part, the travel part through California, Mexico, Panama and Jamaica. Music is breakbeat based with some excursions in ambient, latin, hip hop, all filtered by a Rock in Opposition point of view.  This record is in memory of Death in Venice drummer Marco Bianchi.

release: 4 July 2009 It’s a concept album about stars - both intended as prima ballerinas and celestial bodies - and their issues.  Genre is a series of mixes with world music, symphonic progressive, a bit of contemporary and kraut electronics, always with the free approach of Rock in Opposition tradition (from Zappa to Henry Cow): sometime resulting in complex structures with mindbending pairings of melodies and subtle detuned arrangments.  Étoile starts with a Residents-like intro sung by a couple of real pigs, then a piece of math/art rock, sounding like a too dry death metal.  Then from Rhythmbox the record begins wedging prog, contemporary, world and electronics.

release: 14 March 2009 5 tracks about mutant music, obtained through bizzarre pairings or juxtaposing uneven genres.  Springbound is an electronic/IDM number; Plastique Boots between white reggae and rock; Entr'Acte inspired by famous Renè Clair movie put together electronics and a latin melody; Cockroach got the darker Residents influences and a fusion bass; Das Chamäleon start in a funky fashion and developes a series of themes usually considered as incongruous, being the manifesto of whole record. Cover art is a drawing by me.

release: 8 Dicember 2008 Outskirt is a concept album on low populated areas, or at least far from centre. All the record is ever changin' genres from song to song: Sigma Hydrae is a 3 minute groove between contemporary and space rock; Møre og Romsdal is an avant rock/technical death metal hybrid; Reidsville, NC is post-rock, but seen from country view; Giant Star Antares kraut rock à la Kraftwerk; LaGuardia 3:00 AM between jazz rock and progressive; Zimniy Dvorets a romantic classical piece for 4 pianos; Thar Desert is same time Chic and Contortions funky; Junction Box pure electronics; suite Belief is winding between R.I.O. and avantgarde, except for Sloth (synthpop) and Pride (latin); Pet's Repository is lo-fi prog.

release: 17 January 1989 Eight-Bit Deboned was composed and played using a tracker (Oktalizer 1.0) on an Amiga 500 between december 1988 and january 1989. With this set I composed 14 songs about people moods and travels, then I packed all on a HD floppy in mod format, with a mod player enclosed. The resulting sound vaguely reminds of Residents or Fred Frith. Technical limitations (only 8 mono tracks) gave him a minimal taste, between 70's 8-bit videogame music and freak industrial. In October 2008 I found a copy and decided to reissue it. On Amiga I tried to reconstruct songs (all had errors and missing or damaged sounds), I substituted some samples such Malcom X on Friend and Enemies or a few voices in Luke's travel. At the end I recovered only 10 tracks.

release: 08 April 2009 Virtually unlimited Hox Vox collection, music coming from compilations, collaborations or single song based projects, and chronologically added to the tracklist.
