THE INTERVIEWElectronic liquid your music: low noise, electronic and free jazz passages, and a hint of shoegaze reverb reminiscent of that progressive rock influences of the scene of Bordighera some time ago. A mix of original and even easy. Where does all this?
Born from a passion for the sounds before they become music. We like to listen, we like to express ourselves musically.
You hear the sounds, carefully, and if you do not leave daze from the multitude that surrounds us can take any sound expression. Get the sound itself. The screech of car brakes, a drop that falls from a gutter, a worm that eats wood, shouting in a crowded beach. The sound already expressed alone, before being put together in music, so when you talk about bass & noise in a sense grasp the true. Once the music got the score today is not so, sometimes the stamp say the environment much longer notes. And the rest is past history, embodied in us, we will not totally eliminate almost like a toxic substance, we are also one and also to express, but the theme is always one: the now.
Moral inspiration for your musical project was born with a dedication to Leonardo Montaruli artist singer founder and leader of "voyeur" emerging group of Genoa in the 90 to 27 years cut off from a melanoma. What has meaning for you?
We will respond separately.
Geraci Vincent: To me a lot. Leonardo (his high school classmate) was a promise of the underground music Genovese, was a complete artist, we played together for a while 'time, then founded the "voyeur". He was joined the staff of "buoy Goa festival for. care for the look and feel. The idea was to create his KROMOFONICA: merging color and music in a single project.
Edilio Ciuffardi: I met Vincent through Leonardo. I brought some of his texts, I was able to appreciate what he wrote. I regret not having known him directly, I think we could be in tune with what we do today.
Voyeur is the concept album is based on the circle of life of a man who grows and evolves. How did the idea?
The funny thing is that it is born as an idea, we realized at the end. Rather, once completed the album has 12 tracks instead of the problem sequence. Putting them one after another, we realized that the most logical way was to the growth of a boy. From the spiritual point of view, throughout the album, each song adds a bit of self-knowledge, that's all there.
Yet, the song China Gas is a bit 'a story in itself in this record ...
Yes OK, it's true. But you can say the same for each song. Everyone has a logical sequence, but no one is bound to the cage of the album, there is no cage. China gas certainly speaks of Tibet, the massacre in China, documented and put into oblivion, uncomfortable. But anti-slots or analgesic man ant dealing with social issues. This boy couple, interested in the things of the world, that's why China gas falls in the path. Only when you see certain images, as I recall the torture and horror, almost in self-defense dichotomy tend to do, to separate. No, this is the same guy who grows Tibetan girl with bleeding head with truncheons taken by Chinese police, it is always him / her. We are, it's you, you who c'intervisti here every difference is appearance, and who better Buddhists remind us what this appearance is, using a term dear to them, empty.
Genoa over songwriters. It is a bit 'lost the thread of Genoa underground scene in the national perception. You can summarize a picture of what is now the quality and type of rock Ligurian your area?
Has been lost or to continue. Let's talk about singers instead.
We have always admired De Andrè, minstrel-Milan-Ligurian Sardinian-French, but we can not say that in terms of sound and music are fans of the first part of his career. But the poet De Andrè, with the passage of time, probably was not satisfied with only words side by side at a certain musicality. Has increasingly tried the sound, the Genoese Italian as best sound of the words even before the search for meaning, and the band, the last live, fantastic, not for virtuosity but for the sounds and how they tied together.
The Genovese, imagine, from album to album dedicated to his homeland more representative internationally. Faber comes from life, while he was growing again. As you can see a great quote, which we are heirs not even a wrinkle of his shoe, back to some extent the answer the first question. Perhaps follow the tradition means welcome signs of becoming, do not traditionalists. I just could not make clear distinctions between "us and them", "songwriters and underground", we are not so necessitated a sense of belonging. This confuses most people that we hear him say.
Ligurian rock in our area?
In a period '80 / '90 they tried to make inroads metal band, hardrock, then grunge, crossover, all in an environment where it was difficult to have space.
And yet, to the most recent years holding back, hip hop, ska-punk, ska, punk, rap, on the one hand, techno, drum & bass, alternative, other, San Remo and its opposite. Then we have musicians, excellent, phenomenal.
Looks like a crazy humus, there was in the days when disks were sold really, we had an explosion about Woodstock, but it is a substrate that is more connected to the web to the neighborhood, and those who deny the mind . We are at a turning point that not only affects our area. At first it was the singer, then was the DJ, then again the Mixer. While singing and dancing pretty boy (oops, quoted by Joe Jackson), a most attentive audience hopes to see on the stage directors and actors. It also happened in television, film speaking directly, interviewers who have not seen the show but are more of respondents.
Pirandello is that puts the audience on stage, but not surreal.
Today the separation between musician and listener is less advanced than in the past and future will be even less. Who wanted to be a star cry, those who wanted to be a citizen of the world enjoys it.
Ipnogogica is the title of your new album is currently being finalized. Can you give us a preview?
Ipnogogica is the condition that we all live at least twice a day. Just before falling asleep and upon awakening. It is not hallucinatory, as some suggest, instead of "other consciousness". Infants experiencing this condition 18 hours a day and nobody would be that the hallucinated. The album, a triple, it's all focused on this condition, but seen from within.
So even if an album is in some respects close to the psychedelia, he distinguishes.
The tried the hallucinatory psychedelia, and the hallucinatory substance was motivated by the search.
The ipnogogica instead is unavoidable, physiological. It is the "other condition" part of us all, and, being part of the "belly" of our consciousness, is a bit 'western mistreated efficiency.
The atmosphere of the disk. Balances bleak, Mealing pot. What is the effect Kromofonica live and what the spirit of your partnership during registration?
It is a kind, but in fact, is an album. The smooth, the polka and the tarantella, there are, but would go well if they were served. Musical genres do not mean as lifestyles but are means and instruments. If singing Shock the monkey Peter Gabriel makeup monkey does not mean that it is, or rather, it was only at that time. This is the rule of the show, and music is part of the show.
It is not our intention to give messages about lifestyles to follow. But it is also true that the world began tribal dances, litanies, aggregations mystical permeated humanity. Today we find this very attenuated or partially reversed in the stadiums, or disco.
When we record we know that we are only what we do at that time, if not we could do only one kind. As a part of us manifests Ipnogogica nearly suppressed, so any form of human expression and way of being to be considered for what it is, without charts to bring the emotion on the podium more beautiful, and the others are?
The effect KROMOFONICA live?
Hey! Someone listens to us!?! We're here! Do not wait, we are waiting for contract!
