Despite very few updates, this summer represents the musically densest period of my life so far! I hope to write something about it on these pages soon, conveying certain feelings is impossible… Images and music work better than words, especially when written by one of Italy’s greatest current artists! Here are three videos from the most emotional evening of the summer for me, which took place near home in Arenzano (GE) on August 25th: ...
Let me introduce my new pedalboard! This toy was born from a dual need: Sound Practicality Here’s the signal chain, between guitar and amp: Korg Pitchblack Tuner Dunlop Cry Baby Wah Boss CS3 Compressor T-rex Twin Boost Booster Masotti OD Box Overdrive Boss TR2 Tremolo In the send and return loop TC Electronic Nova Delay Digitech Hardwire CR7 Chorus All powered by the T-rex Fuel Tank. In addition, there’s also the Engl Z5 footswitch to control the 4 channels of the head, and a power strip to power any other transformers (for pedals with power different from 9V or 12V). ...
Saturday we’re flying to my beloved SICILY :D !!!! Exactly to Monreale, near Palermo! I can’t describe the joy in knowing that after so long I’ll set foot again in my native land (even though far from Catania, but it doesn’t matter, the emotion is equally great)!
It’s with immense pleasure that I announce that I’ve joined the historic band “Custodie Cautelari”. Paolo Zanetti, their longtime guitarist, will soon be leaving on tour with Ruggeri. I had the chance to meet Paolo during an evening, but I already knew of his reputation for some time! Taking his place won’t be an easy task! Dates will always be published on the home page, starting from March 14th in Moniga del Garda (Bs)! ...
On May 3rd at Beer Room in Pontinvrea (SV) I’ll be playing with Silent Sea…NEW LINE UP!! And not just the lineup, another big news about Silent Sea is that from now on we’ll be doing exclusively Dream Theater tribute. So get ready for an almost completely renewed setlist, and Antonio Cannoletta in great shape on vocals!
In the halls of Accademia Del Suono in Milan, an explosive band has just been born: ROCKIN’THE ACADEMY! In this wonderful band I have the honor of collaborating with: Luca Milieri (guitar) Francesco La Rosa (drums) Francesco Arzani (bass) With musicians like them, only something amazing can come out, and the first rehearsals confirm this theory!! I’ll keep you updated!
Here’s the video of Octavarium (Dream Theater) performed by Silent Sea on July 28th: Your browser does not support the video tag.
Saturday evening the 28th in Albenga there will be the “Festa in musica fra le onde” event organized by Mauro Pinzone! On July 14th last year I proposed a show that’s hard to find in our area, a gamble…here’s the video! It was so surprising to see the audience’s response (I heartily thank those who were present) that I decided to repeat the experience: this year too we’ll be performing a suite by the great Dream Theater…over 20 minutes of musical intensity! A complete work, beyond classifications! ...
On July 28th Silent Sea will participate in the Albenga music festival with a show that’s been in preparation for a long time…Anyone who remembers last year’s Karnak show (whose video is on this myspace) shouldn’t be surprised by what they’ll witness!! NOT TO BE MISSED =)
Sunday evening the 3rd in Imperia at Piazza della Vittoria there will be a concert with four groups, including Silent Sea and “Appunti di viaggio…..”, the new project by Mauro Vero, of which I have the honor to be a part!
