Brave New World

Freely inspired by Huxley’s masterpiece, Brave New World is the result of a bitter thinking about the days we are living. Human beings quickly turning into sterile survivals, in terrifyingly freaky things like a Chaplin’s “Modern Times” redirected by the most hallucinate Lars Von Trier.

The whole album, released under a Creative Commons License on three different netlabels (Politicide.net from Germany, Kreatonika.com from Sweden and Second Family Records from Italy), is pervaded by panic attack sounds, headaches, claustrophobia and modern paranoia, though there’s still a little space for feelings and for those tiny moments of sweetness representing the few remnants of humanity we are still able to afford ourselves. Sometimes I think this stuff would sound good on the dancefloor of that wonderfully insane disco I never met.
My favourite disco after all.

After having played bass for years in the Italian post-rock band Crimen recording two EPs, this time I felt the need to do all by myself, and I needed to do it in a different way. So I learned the rudiments of music software and in the two months following an ankle operation I recorded these tracks at Headache Headquarters, a very common suburban room with a window, a huge photograph of Bob Dylan on a side and a couple of Buddhas here and there.

Modern tools to tell a modern story.
Losing myself was the only way to do something new.
