about

" This debut album was born with the desire to freely experiment all the stuffs and instruments I had accumulated: synths, sequencers, filters and distortions for guitar and vocals, but also ukulele and different kind of percussions..
The keystone of the project is the desire to not use computers or playback tracks for the composition and execution. All songs have been recorded as they are played during live. I just enjoyed adding
settings, colors, and noises that come to my mind or that I visualize while playing the pieces!
In the texts I deal with the theme of fear in the broadest sense of the term. The songs were born long before the pandemic and I feared that the sense of the record might be completely misrepresented by the climate we have been experiencing for too long. Fortunately, in wanting to touch the question from a thousand points of view, sometimes in an intimate but also universal way, the message it has not undergone any "bending".
The darkness that one chooses to not look at all, the inability to appropriate the own breath, the choice of
violence and arrogance are all demons that I try to reveal with my words ”

It is the search for a visionary but concrete salvation in a saturated and no longer viable jungle ... more
