bio: We should imagine some shadows on a wall: they walk, they speak, they laugh, they don't know each other, but they share the same emotion at the same time. When our life becomes full of facts, people, words and memories we probably should paint a great picture and let this take its own life in front of us; we shouldn't forget our memories but we probably could use them more than we usually do. I learned from my life, I observed thousands of people and I felt the desire to stop their portraits printed in my mind with a proper soundtrack.
I tried to draw a story of different characters and I could be inspired from different important names like Pirandello, Simone de Beauvoir, but also from real stories, they were close to me and they could suggest me the way to write new songs. I tried to build up a world where all these characters can live again. Then I met two people, two great musicians: Ugo De Crescenzo (Pilot Jazou and Dipper's founder) and Marcello Testa. They saw my painting, they built this image with delicate and authoritative music and I thank them for their important and amaizing work. At the end, when the painting was done I felt the need to create a curtain. If we go to a theatre to watch a show we will see an elegant and important curtain opening our fantasy's doors before the story takes its place in our minds. Georgenne Kalweit (ex Delta V singer, actually Kalweit and the Spokes) created a unique introduction which I thought to be full of personality and great charisma. I choose her voice and her words to open and to close this portrait. She wrote "Seasons mutate" and I find it absolutely appropriate; I feel lucky cause a woman full of life as Georgenne is took part into this creation.
Thanks to Ivan Iusco and Casaluna Productions (the division of Minus Habens Records) to support this work. Thanks to all the musicians who played in it."
Only a song can help us sometimes. Only the stories can talk sometimes...
