We got to get in to get out

From "l'ultimo quadro, Isabella Branella"


Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Paradise in a dream

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awoke - Ay! And what then?
Samuel T. Coleridge

Merry Xmas to the world !

About music, again.

My new songs are being recorded mostly during the night time, my days are so full of things to do that i can get into music only when everybody else is sleeping.

I'm listening now to what i've recorded yesterday night and i'm wondering where i've really been.
Music is the most powerful starship in the world.
It's an angel lifting you up to the skies, letting you look at things in their real perspective while filling your ears with truth.

Can you see the real me ?

expressing the inexpressible

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Slowdown you crazy child

I keep on receiving many mails asking me when my latest CD will be finally ready.
Let me reassure you, I am working on it. It's just that I'm a bit slow in elaborating inspirations, besides this my own personal life is so stuffed with so many things that I just don't have the time to do all that I wish.
Anyway you can keep on sending me your audio files, I just got 2 great voices from Japan, arigatò people of the rising sun.
Thanks also to the Pakistan guy who sent me his voice, I just wish I could understand what you said, but I already found a nice place for you in a song. Sounds pretty creepy and it goes well along with the melody.
I'll be listening to all you're sending me, whatever comes to your mind, and I'll use your sounds in my next CD, so you'll be partecipating in a real global project, no matter where you come from.
As always just contact me from my website .
cheers !

Some bands you should absolutely know

I'm listening to a lot of great bands lately,
here are my personal suggestions if you wish to know new groups:

• And you will know us by the trail of dead
• Black heart procession
• Mercury Rev
• Maximo Park

They're all absolutely amazing, don't miss them.

Face to face

Black heart morning thoughts

99 % of mankind is useless nonetheless harmful.

I want your SOUNDS !

As you all know I'm actually working on my latest CD which
will hopefully be released by the end of year 2007.

I am experimenting and mixing sounds in my songs, I already
have a quite interesting bunch of them but I want to push
this experience further.

If you wish to collaborate with me in the making of my CD
send me whatever you think it is interesting.
Sounds from your room window, the sounds of the streets you
walk on, your voice and your thoughts, whatever you think it
is nice to listen to.

I will give you credits on my CD artwork and you will have
the pleasure to have collaborated in a brand new piece of
modern art.

Itaca

Sempre devi avere in mente Itaca,
raggiungerla sia il pensiero costante.
Soprattutto, non affrettare il viaggio;
fa che duri a lungo, per anni, e che da vecchio
metta piede sull'isola, tu, ricco
dei tesori accumulati per strada
senza aspettarti ricchezze da Itaca.
Itaca ti ha dato il bel viaggio,
senza di lei mai ti saresti messo
sulla strada: che cos'altro ti aspetti?

(Kavafis)
Mille grazie a Isabella.

Always have in mind Itaca,
be the arrival your constant thought.
Above all don't rush in,
let it last long, for years,
and when old aged you
put your foot on the island,
rich of treasures found on the way,
don't expect wealth from Itaca.
Itaca gave you the amazing journey,
without it you would have never leaved:
what else could you expect ?

(Kavafis)
Many thanks to Isabella.
