A sofa, a round table in the middle of the room, some chairs, drinks, food and yes Yes, you can also smoke, do not worry "... so within this blog comes a new room, and a chat in peace , dare I say it in friendship, so you can know a little 'better the people behind the songs we listen .. a place where it is nice to ask questions but also where it is even more interesting to hear the answer ....
And what better occasion for the inauguration if the release of the work of one of my favorite Italian bands?!
The first to accept our invitation were Disturbed (Gigi Giancursi):
Q: Hello guys and thanks so much for first accepted our invitation and for your usual availability
P.: Hello, first of all thank you for the shaking that you made while writing this interview. E 'already in itself an act of love that would be a shame to ignore.
I.: Let's say someone does not know you, introduce yourself and what better way than through your songs? Which would you choose?
If it were up to me to present, I'd say
August: your most successful song, a refrain which is based on a non-sense,
a phrase you do not Waits, but at the same time you hypnotized. And then the
video .. everything is perfect!
If I write: because you should not take themselves too seriously .. and then to those who have ever
"give exaggerated importance to a single evening"
Four Drops of Blue: one of my absolute favorite, the version with Syria then adds
that do not know what kind of magic that makes it unique ...
of Our Stolen time: the song of your new album (streaming up and out the Rockit 21maggio) that already at first listen I was impressed and I think it is printed.
P.: The first answer may disappoint you because basically all of our song is a letter of introduction. When Flaubert's Madame Bovary being said, he meant just that. Each artist is painted entirely in its own song. Every song is a photograph of the artist, conscious or unconscious. maybe there are better pictures come to the appreciation of others, but each photo is a representation. The Neapolitan Snout would say that each is beautiful to its mother, but precisely because it is basically in his own image and likeness.
I.: About the new cd ... "even the I dig rock wrinkles on the face "?
P.: In Italy the rock is going through a profound contradiction. It should be time to break that generational opens a crack in the world already and solace from cracks adolescents seconded destroy the young from the umbilical cord that keeps him tied to the family. Emancipatory thrust, sometimes traumatic (but traumatic all the vital steps, from birth to death). Instead, the rock is made by people 'elderly'. Parents accompany their children to the concerts 'rock' having first met them. It 's a contradiction in the new historical and sociological LEVELS. U2 the age of our parents. About ridarrà the twentysomethings of today denied the rebellion? Our reflection is seen on the side instead of the player.
I.: When you make a move is Pending Account between past, present and future ... if you look back do you see? And in front of you instead? Any regrets? Expectations?
P.: Sometimes it is better not to ask too much but continue to empty the boxes, settle down and have the illusion of a fresh start. Even birthdays are this effect. The next day we rediscovered the same without an inch of change.
I.: St. Elsewhere .. what do you expect from this album?
P.: Of be recognized as an entry into the Italian music scene, which, however, we know we are. No more, no less. We would like for once the listeners had to decide, not those who claim the right to decide what should or should not please the masses, seen as a faint stream of customers.
I.: As you rightly point out, you too, a word that recurs most often is "Italy" ... because that is perhaps not the best time to talk about Italy in general, I ask you an opinion on your "return that seems to live a new youth culture that is musical ... am I wrong?
P.: In Turin, there are dozens of interesting bands of the generation after ours. I hope not to forget too, but if someone wanted to deepen by curiosity, here they are:
Fog, Ila Red, Verlaine, Nadar Solo, Sidera Ves, Pablo and the Sea, Deiana, Mezzafemmina, etc.. The reality is that these groups have existed for years but the speech that I did before, it seems that anyone who points the spotlight ever decides to light certain scenes when the others are boring,
Think of the Baustelle who have achieved success and that is reflected only at a certain point. They had always been Baustelle, but someone noticed it in years.
I.: A my opinion, now, thanks to the Internet, Myspace, Blog, Facebook .. all underground alternative scene (it was once) has a cash resonance unimaginable until a few years fa.Voi what do you think? How did you find the world of independent labels to your return?
P.: There are days voted for optimism to pessimism and other cosmic rated. In the first world seems wonderful. All communicate with everyone. Everything around you, as stated in a famous spot for mobile phones. But even as an incurable optimist Jovanotti had found a downside in this sentence. Then you go to step b. And it turns out that the scorched earth is plentiful. Everyone communicates through the small niche that has managed to create. Spam multiplies. We receive hundreds of invitations to concerts, to which we will not take place because at 600 km from where we live. Everyone has their album 'finally released'. No one seems not to care nothing. Myspace is the repository of useless calls for excellence.
Many independent labels are convinced that just a ride on facebook to promote employment. The trouble is that this mentality has also made inroads in major world where money is no longer so much. So a whole world pours on social networks, believe to have discovered Eldorado. Clogged and flooded.
I.: We start from a premise : If I buy an album I like, because I feel the need to possess things "they deserve." As always you put great care in packaging and also seems to have understood that there will be a surprise (A CD-R disc if I remember correctly), you can tell us more?
P.: The idea then translated so that 'physically' was to leave the listener the opportunity to make a custom lineup. The first song of the album says, 'now what counts is counted by itself'. To put the Crowley (Satanist is always cite the 'rock' :-) "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole of the law." But without bloodshed, Percival. Just copying the songs on the cd-r like that and at most give her as a filter of love, as we did with the tapes.
I.: The last question is a kind of game ... you do a question to those who read, because everyone goes daicantanti and ask, ask, ask but maybe you also want to know something ...
P.: The question that every musician wants to do but can not afford it: Dear, dear, did you like? "But I do not do it. :-)
Q: THANK YOU GUYS
