David Byron, 26 years ago.


The 28 February 1985, just 38 years , the body of David Byron was found dead at 10 Raymond Road, in Maidenhead. 26 years have gone by then.




A bit 'of biography from the site of the Italian Uriah Heep .

http://www.uriah-heep-italia.com/biografie/david_byron_uriah_heep/david_byron_uriah_heep.htm

David Garrick John born January 29, 1947 near Epping to Chingford and has a very early approach to the music, already a child, in fact, charmed everyone with a harmonious and powerful voice, able to tap notes to explode in very low tones high. He became semi-professional singer with his entry in The Stalkers and later, when professional - along with Mick Box - founded the Spice that would become the Uriah Heep . We are in 1970 and since that time, the biography of David - that already during his militancy with the Stalkers had changed his name to Byron - blends with the history of Heep.

In 1975, after having achieved success with the Heep, David Byron ago released his first solo album on the Bronze label. The album is the title Take No Prisoners and starring Mick Box and Lee Kerslake. Despite the success, those were difficult years for David that he began drinking heavily undermining his future career. Ken Hensley reports that David was the classic person who hated the wrong things but instead of fighting to try to change the situation, he preferred to drown everything in alcohol. This is the reason why David Byron from Uriah Heep was discharged at the end of the tour took place in Spain in July 1976. The images in 76 of the German Magazine went around the world to despair by the fans of Uriah Heep. Bron said that there was considerable divergence of views between Byron and the rest of the group and therefore, the primary interest of the Heep, singer would leave the group, because these divisions were - unfortunately - irreconcilable. The nature of these irreconcilable differences are not said anything, everything remains vague ... why do not we just have to speculate. Some sources close to the group say that the spark or further continued when John Wetton joined the Heep. The song included in Take No Prisoners Man full of yesterday seemed to be dedicated to Gary Thain but, ironically, would describe the subsequent years of life David. In any case one thing is peaceful for all, without David Byron Uriah Heep were never the same.
Determined to pursue his career alone David Clem Clempson recruited on guitar and drummer Geoff Britton who formed with him the Rough Diamond. They recorded a self-titled album, which unfortunately did not go very well.
With the collaboration of composer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Boone and some session musicians - including the famous drummer Stuart Elliot - David recorded his second solo LP titled Baby Faced Killer not obtained, Unfortunately, no success commercial. David later joined by guitarist Robin George and formed lathe Byron Band. Accepted among the ranks of the Creole Records, he released two singles David WayCon Every Inch Of The B-side to the piece Routine and Never Say Die with the B-side Tired Eyes, before leaving in 1981 to his third solo album titled On The Rocks. Unfortunately, as with Rough Diamond, the success did not come. These disappointments
professional helped the worsening of his alcoholism that now mastered very little about David determining performance on the stage, as when he fell on stage at the Marquee because of an epileptic seizure. Epilepsy that his alcoholism did not contribute to a certain cure. Serves no purpose that the invitation addressed at that time Trevor Bolder and Mick Box of Uriah Heep for Reconstruction, David flatly refused. David Byron, abandoned by all, first by himself, was found dead at his home in Maidenhead February 28, 1985.
The media specialist is limitaroro coolly to give the news in a column that, at best, included a dozen lines. In fact, however, the "insiders" beginning with the great John Wetton, have always recognized David "Garrick" Byron the talent and the place, deservedly, has earned against all odds in the history of hard rock.

birthday Rodolfo Maltese

Yesterday morning I received an email in which my friend Wazza, Roman de Rome, reminded me of an important birthday to Rodolfo Maltese .

was written:

" birthday today, 26febbraio 1947, Rodolfo Maltese, legendary guitarist of the Bank, Indigo, and ... another million projects.

One of the most available human and I met in the music world.

Happy Birthday "brother" Rudy, we love you!

Aldo "

often enlist the help of the Web to provide objective evidence, because my purpose is to honor, remember and remind, and where I have no personal experience, I resort to the existing.

In the case of Rodolfo Maltese I have something of my own instead, which starts from the 70s to the present day and, with a big hole in my time, during which time Maltese has continued to work on different projects.

During my adolescence, when we lived on bread and "Hello 2001," the story of the musicians had lived intensely, and the need for news sometimes beyond the desire for music. You want to know much more than those guys, a little bigger than us, but unattainable, and often their staff was a projection on stage.

learned the stories from Hello 2001, I heard a certain noise that gave some to the "departure" from Marcello Todaro Tour of Mutual Aid . Not even too much diplomacy (I could be wrong, but these are my memories), was highlighted the inadequacy of the guitarist, presented as a brake to the evolution of the group, and we already knew who would be the substitute, such Rodolfo Maltese, coming from Homo Sapiens. Even such a thing happened to PFM, with bassist Giorgio "Fico" Piazza replaced by Patric Djivas of Area.

In those days I happened to see a concert of the Tour, in Genoa, and the stage was the new guitarist. It was probably the moment of passage, because it seems to me that Marcello and Rodolfo performed together in a song, "I do not Break."

For the rest of the time stationed Todaro from parts of the mixer, and perhaps a bit ' time followed the group as a sound engineer.

are distant memories, and could therefore not be accurate, but it is still this sense of unease that I felt the occasion, to be sure that an injustice had been done and that there were compelling reasons set aside one of the initial group.

stiffness and inexperience of a teenager!

Rodolfo Maltese so I turned nasty, and all that a child may be granted.

Over time, abandoning the rigor that characterizes I Rudolph learned to appreciate, of course.

As long as I knew him personally, in Alba, at a concert in 2009:

http://athosenrile.blogspot.com/search/label/Concerto % 20of% 20Alba

We broke up in the dressing room, with the intention of making a short interview by mail, what proved to be difficult for his unwillingness to new technologies, but perhaps we should also insist succeeded, until Rudolph was not experiencing significant physical problems.

After of months I have met again, several times, and I was lucky enough to see him on stage Romano, along with many Italian and foreign musicians, the celebration of 40 years of Italian prog.

But the most exciting moment about a very special event, which took place last June in Volpedo nell'alessandrino.

Concert organized for him, for his return to the scene. Special concert that was revised on the same stage, after many years, even Gianni Nocenzi, apart from the rest of the Bank, in Bernardo Lanzetti and other artists.

Exciting the duet between John and Rodolfo, just the two of them on stage, in the beautiful square of Volpedo, suitable to celebrate two returns perhaps unexpected.

After that performance in the early summer move to Roma, in November, which sees new scene in the north, Novi Ligure, still acclaimed by the public, in its natural habitat, the stage.

My best wishes to Rodolfo Maltese, great musician and great man, hit by bad luck, as often happens in life.

But the music helps those who live for her and it is likely that in this case everything in the end going in the right direction.

Satragno-Danila "I Sing"


few days ago ... a few days ago ... three days ago, I attended the launch of a book, as often happens to me, to background music.

I emphasized the temporal aspect is difficult because I find the time to read a book (in this case more DVDs) of normal size in a few hours, it becomes imperative to give my opinion now. Probably the next few lines will be evident why this unusual rapidity.

I'm talking about " Want To Sing," a book / manual that describes the " Vocal Care, method that reveals the secrets of the hand, providing educational elements potentially suitable for everyone, not just in art.

The writer is the Savona Danila Satragno , musician, singer, teacher and "Voca the Coach of Star " as reported in the liner notes.

I had never seen, nor heard Daniel sing, and watching and listening, I gave immediate response to the usual question I ask myself every time I'm in front of whom, at some point in the life, he decided to tell their stories through the pages of a book. My mere curiosity.

I think that a book is often written as "sense of balance" in one phase of life, sometimes however is the need to leave "something inherited," or, for those already experts, a need for renewed vision. Objective things do not always have to say, because you can also play with the imagination. Perhaps a "crumbling" of these elements may also have touched Satragno Danila, but what I received in an hour of listening is something that I know closely and that moves every step I take everyday when I speak and write music.

I'm talking about sharing, that necessity is often the word that combines music, but in reality it is not automatically achieved. The beauty of its results give no concern for everyone, and often enormous sacrifices necessary to achieve a goal become an excuse to keep everything for himself, the series "... that even others suffer as I have suffered, before reaching the goal .... "

my idyllic vision of some musical situations, and this is an example, I hope no steps to naivety, but on these occasions I like to think that the passion is the number one motivation. This is what "passed me," in a patch of time, the "Vocal Coach".

But as Daniel told his life, which forms part of the book, I could not help but put my in the middle of the situation. Guess how many of the young people present to the library UBIK apparently careful, in fact leave a bit 'of space to your situation, perhaps envying Annalisa Scarrone (the father this has sunk the knife) or thinking of holding on to school Danila to invent a future full of music and satisfaction.

But I have gone back 37 years, recalling a banal fact that I was traumatized for life musical life. The guitar was the first instrument to come into my house and I played with that group, as a teenager. One summer afternoon, Albisola, during the tests, the singer was absent and no voleve chanting " Impressions September . "You try Athos ..."

I sang but I have little voice and what little I piace.Però I launch.

After two minutes, no more, the drummer stops me mocked " Stop ... stop ... can not sing with a lisp limp!"

And from that day I no longer sung. I, one that plays different instruments and he writes every day, unable to compose a song in full, blocked by shyness and a trial given many decades ago, came from a friend. Yet in the years to follow, I happened to talk without problems, before hundreds of people!

is a human case "that could solve Daniel!

On second thoughts went immediately to Ian Anderson, leader of Jethro Tull . Ian known for the use of the flute while for others it is an excellent acoustic guitarist. But what made that group able to mark the significant moments of my life is her voice. Now this entry is gone, and I think the motivation is linked to a serious illness and a subsequent operation on his vocal chords. In fact, every year, we're, we rush to see his Italian concerts, suffering two times, once for the lack of quality time and the other for the physical strain that is manifested before our eyes, the neck stretching up to defy the laws of nature in an attempt to channel the release notes.

" Who knows, 'I thought," if Danila Satragno could help ... help us. "

I read the book and saw the DVD. I could not even wanting to test the principles set out , but at least I think I'll try.

Officially is suitable for everyone, experienced singers, aspiring vocalist, teachers, lawyers, actors ... all those people who are in daily need of his own voice and body to communicate. Even silence communicates and may be more deafening of an old concert Who , but the way of behaving and relating is key, whatever you name it.

Each company spends time and money in training, and many of the concepts that I found in this book are the same that I have learned in years of "compulsory school".

The first part is autobiographical and, especially Savona can find elements of interest and full communion.

But much of the book is devoted to teaching. Our knowledge of the physical exercises, tests and responses to 360 degrees outlining the guidelines of proper nutrition suggested by Gigliola Braga, with the involvement of scientific speech pathologist Franco Fussi .

The DVD is in my view essential to make explicit that the parties, if only in writing, may leave some doubts.

I never thought that the voice is unique for every human being, like a footprint Digital, like the iris of our eye, and this would seem an obvious note, could lead to the realization that our voice, being non-replicable, and defense should be treated with care. And for those with singing ambitions, at any age, Daniel reminds us that only a tiny proportion of the population, 3%, it may be hopeless. For everyone else, including me, the future may change from gray to pink.

A comprehensive manual that makes you want to test their skills, and to test Satragno Danila and his fantastic (certainly in intent) method.

News for Daniel and his school can be found at:

http://www.vocalcare.it/

my part, I reread the book and maybe attend some stage, because sooner or later, I'll be able to sing a song, with no major worries.

an innocent, childlike hope ... that's what prompted me to "devour" Want To Sing. "

A little light at the end of a tunnel ...

Where To Buy Bandannas

Johnny Winter-Savona 2008

He just turned 67 years Johnny Winter, born on February 23 of 1944. I was lucky enough to see him live in 2008 , and I repeat that this time is a nice way to remember and ... make him the best.

Tuesday, July 15 I saw an unforgettable concert . Johnny Winter, one of the heroes of Woodstock , was in Savona, Fortress of Priam.


Some biographical note.

Born and raised in Beaumont (Texas), the city famous for its "gold rush", listen to local radio much becoming a lover of Rock & Roll, Blues and Cajun country . Tensions are very strong in the city that had hosted the worst race riots in Texas history, with the effective implementation of martial law, but Johnny is well accepted in the black community because he was considered honest and genuinely possessed by the Blues. In 1962, unable to go on stage with BB King, playing his guitar, getting big cheers from the audience. form a power trio with drummer Uncle John Turner and bassist Tommy Shannon (later solid column of Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan), who supports him in his wild tantrums yet so tied to tradition. Authentically devoted to Delta Blues in his veins runs the country blues of Robert Johnson in the British constantly mixing Blues-Rock and the Rock of South America to the Allman Brothers. During the '70s and '80s albino guitarist and singer, and skeletal drug addict, was preparing to revive the careers of his idols Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. has the great merit of having introduced the blues giant Muddy Waters to the new generation of listeners by producing and playing guitar in several of his albums. The collaborations have been such a success that Waters has frequently referred to as his adopted son, Johnny. Winter has worked with the Columbia more than a decade of publishing such a memorable album "Johnny Winter And" (1970), "Still Alive and Well" (1973) and "John Dawson Winter III" (1974). His recent Grammy nomination with the disc Virgin / EMI "I'm A Bluesman", has further extended its already great reputation this time telling his own story.

And now my impressions of the concert is already published on "MenteLocale.

than ever on this occasion the title of the book, "I was there," was a success. 's something more than love for the blues to bring me this concert. I remember when a teenager on the cover of Hello 2001 brought the photo of Johnny Winter, an albino musician who, through the long white hair, struck the imagination of our children, fascinated by the characters, not just the music.


And then encounter a musician who played at Woodstock this is not for everyone.
But I was there!
Again ... nice premise.
I find the fortress Priamar one week away from Sheryl Crow concert and I have to highlight a huge difference in behavior of the security.
do not know if the organization depends on different, or is the artist's will, but here seems to have allowed all that was banned a few days before boring.
E 'may be photographed, you can shoot and at one point in the evening, you can even overcome the barrier that separates the stage from the first chairs.
, which leads to a "transfer" human increase to fill a "crown" space to "keep out".
The people want to dance, to move, to have a direct contact with Johnny, and some are photographed from below, filling the frame with the guitarist in full performance.
Boy ... more agitated, even failing to win the stage and embrace the guitarist continues, heedless of the demonstration of affection, and in this case the security officers involved, but without excessive stiffness.
There 'Priamar to a full house, and it is a pity that some opportunities are thrown to the wind. Opening the evening, a son of art, John Lee Hooker.JR \u200b\u200b .
deserve adequate space because I do not speak a second lead of the blues and, on stage he proves his value.
showman, able to engage a still cold, runs a very young band (the guitarist looks like a baby) that ranges from blues to funk, via the R & B.
demonstrated on several occasions to know that I am Savona (no discount for those traveling and playing all the time) and to love Italy.
Someone from the audience (the usual frantic that will have the courage to go on stage), shouts: "Boom Boom Boom " old war horse of his father, and he says: " course 10 times, 11 times ... "ironically suggesting that it is not expected.
But in the end " Boom. . "Arrives, with the audience ready to clap their hands rhythmically, satisfying the wishes of Hooker.
very good and people cheering.
John goes to the bench of the merchandise, to personally sign his CDs while on stage is placed the chair for Winter.
after a few minutes and here's the new band.
Four musicians who attack with great force, with a talented guitarist who will play only on two occasions, beginning and end of the concert.
At the end of the first track is announced, with great emphasis, the arrival of Johnny Winter.
It 's a big thrill for me.
Arriva shaky, walking with great difficulty.
E 'skin and bones, and under his black hat, the old foliage does not seem to have lost its charm.
It seems to be almost blind and full of physical problems, but ... it is on stage.
I have often imagined being able to realize my dreams with a magic wand, and the doubt has always been ... "footballer or musician? "Seeing a man get older, full of serious ailments, after a life lived to the limit, especially with such fantastic results, makes me think that this is a" great job " able to give energy to those who practice and satisfaction to those who "suffer".
The show begins and it is a continuous evolution that leads to a detached attitude of the first Winter (but perhaps not the right word), up to a situation of fluidity and interactivity and present among us a man who, despite the casts scene for over fifteen years, the content is still enthusiasm for providing a great show.
His fingers fly over its special (ugly but effective) guitar and speed on the keyboard causes avalanches of notes that hide some venial error.
The voice occasionally loses the key, but I think it maintains a certain power and tone of the past.
The famous riff on one another while his blues pervades the soul of those present.
comes the moment of tribute to Hendrix and back again Woodstook between us.
At one point, has all at his feet, just steps away from him.
And a very beautiful image, a sign that goes beyond the exhibitionism, human weakness, but the image becomes an icon, with the old musician idolized by his supporters.
Sure, it's an audience well disposed, for this love of the blues and those who were active player, but the scene is from scrapbook.
It gets to the end, he gets up and walks away with difficulty saying goodbye.
I thought the impossibility of an encore, given the difficulty 'walking.
But Johnny is back among us, and doth the technique which is perhaps the greatest exponent: the slide guitar.
I admire him a few feet, trying different feelings: admiration for the great skill, wonder for their ability to convey emotion, tenderness imagining the difficulties in which he is, happy to say, "I was there too."
Unforgettable!

"The Substitute"


What I propose in the next lines is very important for me because it is a big part of my life, at least 43 years, from 8 to 51.

course has to do with music that has marked many of my basic steps. Contrary to what I normally do I write so tight, and no one outside of me could understand fully what the words hide .

A life can also condense into a few lines and a few pictures, and I'm sure I could tell my in thirty different ways, always starting from the same source, again using the world of sounds .

Why did I do? What is my type of game?

opening my files, I found a photograph of "processed" by Cristina Mantis , a friend who owns several artistic talents. I asked, a little 'time ago, to "work" on the photographs of some of the myths of my musical life, and she had ventured into one of his years of skill. The His photos were just stored in a folder and I accidentally touched on that at this particular moment I was struck .

In a flash I threw down a few lines to describe what the picture aroused in me, and I integrated the article with some video.

Then I did the test with my son Nicholas, aged 13, starred with me in the final part of the story, but also because he was difficult to decode.

I propose that, for the simple fact that I like.

The first clue the picture is the protagonist, but alone would not explain why the big reveal to end with a few simple words the story of a life, one of many possible ways.


with him, "The Substitute " it all started.

came across an old reel to reel, "Jealous " new technology found in an ancient man was proud. There was a good company on that tape, cutting-edge human material, "nobility" and news.

That sound became so deep that the very thought, even now, back to the "haze" of those days anything but serene ... but it is unclear the reason for such dullness of mind ... not easy to find a justification.

Everything was black and white television ... reflected what was going around, and the inspector Maigret , and solve their cases, gave tons of sadness ... always the same color.

"The Substitute" is rolled onto the reel, not always at the right speed ... a little 'forward, a little' back, and every step to materialize the blacks booties, elastic on the sides ... designed shirts, collar with Korean ... flared pants, jackets british ...

Now ... now ... now ... relive the shorts, t-shirt long sleeves and white checkered blue, red in the face while dancing, full of fear, while someone notes with pride movement in the future.

"The Substitute" continues to live, and everyone goes everywhere for decades, teaches and inspires admiration.

You would like to have as a friend to talk to, or show how precious memory of a trip.

would have been nice to see it up close ... in those days.

Life goes on, the time massacred bodies, feelings and souls, but the "replacement" has always been a great power, and eventually shows up, for all those who have appreciated, for all those who have been able to wait.

An old man and a child in an arena they expect something, but do not know what yet.

The old man holding the hand of the puppy, trying to protect, stimulate it, to make him understand that what is the will to live in forever, like the "substitute" that ran in a coil many years ago.

It 's a handover of a legacy premature ... maybe ... who knows what will happen!?

It starts but does not last long.

Someone spits water on people, especially on them, the young and less young, who looking for a refuge, away from nature unleashed.

But nature can also dominate, or maybe she is showing indulgence, wanting to see the changing of deliveries.

Now the arena is full again, but something does not work. Do not leave notes dall'ugola appropriate wound and the magic is about to end, prematurely, leaving unfinished the miracle that someone has planned ... as if miracles were to follow an established program!

We are one step from the goal and someone is telling us today that "miracles are finished," that ... " we're really sorry, but ..." rehearse a ' other time .. "

No way!

But no one has done the bill with "substitute" ... his name is not accidental.

He remembers a child who was dancing with his pants shorts and T-shirt checkered white and blue, full of sadness chasing each note.

"The Substitute" takes the baton in hand and decided to direct the choir, let us face the old and the baby, and all cry, laugh, and the reason is always the same: the happiness brought about by music and memories.

But they are deluded ... "replacement" is not there for any audience ... his mission is to build the chemistry, to be a witness of the continuity between the old and a child and ... ship arrives in port.

No one could tell if the miracle happened, too soon, too young baby.

But the "replacement", once again, proved up to it.

The old man would have never doubted.



Explanation

Recorder "Jealous " I still have it, working, with coils that have the recording of my voice as a child, that's what I used at the age of 8 years to hear the first songs beat / rock that I have consciousness. Technology was the pride of my father.

The only (but sharp) image that remains in memory, is when I dressed in a blue and white checked shirt, with shorts, dance, despite my shyness, in a friend's house my parents proud of their son dynamic. The song was " Substitute" of Who , which for me have become, over time, Pete Townshend .




The Who I have never abandoned, even if I never had the opportunity to see them live.

until the year of grace 2007, when the "Who halved" arrive at the Arena di Verona.

For a variety of circumstances, the second of two expensive tickets bought six months before his wife went from a child and so I try to explain to Nicholas the importance of the event which will take part, trying to convince him to reevaluate the What with the passing of years.

The concert begins with my great emotion. The song "Substitute" is of course always present, but the downpour stopped the concert for an hour, thereby preventing the handover between father and son.

But a little 'quiet arrive and start again. Unfortunately, the voice of Roger Daltrey , the singer, the only true Who along with Townshend, vanish, aided by the infamous time.

The concert is about to end between the whistles of disappointed, but ... he comes, "deputy", Pete Townshend, who will take over the reins of the game, sing and play, and allow a spell be done.

also a human being light years away from us, you can join us in our path, becoming in turn the "substitute", the stop-gap, the friend and playmate.

Never mind that he will never know!

Black Lady Camel Toes

Pandora-"Always Everywhere and Beyond the Dream "


The my personal " story "of anytime, anywhere beyond the dream , of Piedmont Pandora , puts a strain on the objectivity of my assessment.

After reading the press release ...

http://athosenrile.blogspot.com/2011/02/pandora-comunicato-stampa.html

found among the many ideas, able to attract the attention of an old lover of music year ' 70, I was struck by the genesis of " 03.02.1974 .", a song describing a magical event in which I participated. With Beppe Colombo , keyboardist of the group, I shared, unwittingly, an incredible event that has colored an important moment of adolescence. I speak of the Genesis concert during the tour Selling England By The Pound .

I opened the CD package and I gave a previously obligated, as I happened to take a long time ago, subverting all the rules of good listening.

I immediately jumped on that track, " 03.02.1974 .," And there I stopped, because the jet had to write my experience benchmarking. The paper will soon become public domain, probably in the periodical "Counterpoints " by Riccardo Storti, and then Pandora's music has given me, albeit in reduced capacity and with different clothes, the same pressures that have come to Emona Viruet, the author of the cover, but most of the pictures in the booklet, each inspired by a different track.

I think to be aware that their music is able to multiply the inputs for sensitive people and facilities, capable of transforming these inputs into tangible manifestations, can be sources of great satisfaction.

difficult to separate the various ingredients that make up the album, and Emona appears as an element of the band that contributes to the completion of a "work" that is not only music, but painting, fantasy, Dream, opera, fiction and probably more.

Pandora self-certifies as a symphonic rock band, avoiding the term "prog" that immediately back to the past.

But the reading line up back to the most influential temporal bridge that may exist, from the 70s to today.

Beppe Colombo is indeed the father of Claudio , drummer (multi) group, probably a unique case, in which the passage of an old love (we try with all our heirs, but often with little success) is done with maximum effect, and with full visibility to the outside world.

Rounding out the trio Corrado Grappeggia , keyboardist usual and wonderful voice.

anytime, anywhere beyond the dream consists of 8 tracks for over an hour of music.

include instrumentals, poems and suites, including the "form" back to the prog fees, because the possibility of being different, apparently without measures and strict time constraints, it can probably be found in that one field, capable of giving total freedom of expression.

rarefied sometimes melodic, orchestral arrangements, vintage-sounding keyboards, complicated and time also means a voice, make this album a treat for music lovers.

Good music ... which is the meaning? It is probably one of the many concepts that lend themselves to multiple definitions, even valuable, but perhaps different.

My personal opinion, my definition of "good music", is the result of my age and is therefore changed since " 03.02.1974 ." does not pass through the technique and years of study in a conservatory, does not pass through the exaltation of skill or to the extreme solo performance. And maybe not even go to the opposite! What counts for me is to laugh, cry, feel good or bad, and all for a melody ... a good melody.

anytime, anywhere beyond the dream gave me, now, the chance to try this, and no matter whether the listening process has been a small initial impact .... Confirmations are coming soon.

INTERVIEW

I can away from that first day of '74, because I was also present at the concert of Genesis I (at that age to move from Savona Turin was not so simple) and remained intact 'thrill of those moments (actually I have many more in the heart and head). But this story is usually for people "ancient." What can pick up a young man, a "child", moments of great intensity, but objectively difficult to transfer?

Claudio: First of all thanks for this space and interest in our music, it is our pleasure to answer your questions! I am convinced that the difficulty in transferring certain musical emotions born today is only due to the greater part of the record industry with methods that more or less mafiosetti and fascists do not allow to get what is truly art for those who want to know. Our music has come to anyone who wanted to listen and was always appreciated, and we do not make simple music! This means that the difficulty of approaching the years of music history lies in what surrounds us. It may be that someone does not appreciate certain things, sure, but if these gentlemen have done what has been done and many still carry on in their footsteps by continuing to make good music or preach there is a reason! years My favorite is certainly the one that goes from 73 to 7 in those years if only we stop to think it out: Brain Salad Surgery, Selling England By The Pound, Dark Side Of The Moon, A Passion Play, Tales From Topographic Oceans , and much more . With my wife we \u200b\u200bthink that 73 to 74 there was the ultimate musical expression and that there is a kind of hub where all music has peaked. I was lucky enough to have a father who lived at the time and music fan, which led me to know these wonderful things and wonderful years, for which I'll always be grateful, but not everyone has this chance and try to do what people did in the 70's: hear about trying to study and collect, but it is very difficult today to do this and not because it is difficult music. What I learned from those years is what we now express musically and what I like to tell those who want to talk about good music with me. " Always and Everywhere", the suite that closes our record, fully embraces this speech and learn how to preach was a legacy. The text contains the words of this legacy and the music put into practice what has been learned and that comes from the heart, not for nothing that the text is My father and my music!

I listened to dozens of definitions of "progressive music", all interesting and probably true. These days I'm reading a book that seems to me beyond all expectations, that is the autobiography of Bill Bruford, who, among the avalanche of interesting and intelligent things gives his thoughts, bringing out a common cultural matrix of those who brought in the 70 high-level "drawing" the typical middle-class British, probably grew up in the church choir closer (see Gabriel and Hammill). Why young men (and I know many) fall in love with a genre so articulate, very little power to the new generation, hard to sell? It 's just a passion that has been handed down or, as Bruford writes for the years '70, is also now a requirement linked to their cultural background?

Claudio: The Progressive, or as we like to call us Pop Rock Symphony is a musical genre that has everything you look for a musician or a listener, and travels from hard times to more melodic moments. A young enthusiastic musically, is definitely intrigued by these trips that each disc can be done to located within them everything they need to be stimulated musically. Sometimes we talk about musical heritage and at times it is the desire again, and say something that expresses that in a society almost completely empty and shy like ours can be very valuable.

Your music blends with the painting and shows the desire to consolidate the musical ideas through the "pictures". I imagine that every song has Emona Viruet led to a new "figure". Have you ever had to do the opposite, to find new ideas by looking at a graphic design, a painting, an object?

Beppe : Honestly no, because we focus a lot with the music, lyrics, and once we finished the work to the graphics though in this case after the family as a talent to Emona , who is the wife of Claudius, we took advantage of his creative genius and the two things went hand in hand, apart from the cover painted her listening to what we were doing, crafting a painting for each song. I think a good experiment, a parallel road notes and brush that run together ... amazing!

Often the name of a group is done randomly. In your case, "Pandora" is a symbol that can be traced back to your music, your guidelines?

Corrado: Pandora and 'definitely a fancy name. When we decided we did not think of any way to get to where we are now, but we knew it was a name very epic and very strong that could reflect our personalities and our music, do not get us wrong, we stand with their feet planted firmly on the ground but certainly we are very pleased that all the interest is developing around our music. symbol Pandora continually recurs in our compositions, is a bit 'as if it were our inspiration! It 's amazing the amount of ideas that jump out of our heads when we dial a song, and reluctantly we have to discard or save some for a future song .

back in part to a previous question, the songs long, the suites are of primary importance for those who decide to express themselves through the prog?

Claudio: This is a little 'something that looks like a rule for those who play our kind, but it is not; example? "The final formula of Chad-Bat", which lasted about four minutes, an eternal journey in the very progressive with a dreamy guitar that goes up and grows with a thrilling ending and a full voice that fills every space. This is progressive, time is not involved. Sometimes the suites are natural and the tracks stretch from just inside because we feel that there is more to say, but sometimes stop at times even a few minutes because they can reach the maximum with very little. It 's a bit like a painting and a painting 90x90 15x30 15x30 ... there are masterpieces that surround the art world, but then there are the suites that are a little' the biography of a group and the desire to achieve the maximum because of their definition includes anything that can really say and do.

What kind of interaction with the public able to establish during your live performances?

Beppe: do not have many tour behind because in these times is very difficult to find for those of us to play, but I must say that the concerts we have had have been very exciting, what we try to create live is in fact the transfer of emotions, to share with who listens to us what our soul has led us to writing, awareness of being something for someone else, the faces that you see emotions in the notes to play, or the excitement during the drum solos kept things difficult by Claudio ... to explain. We always feel like when you go see a concert, the thrill is the same: turn off the lights, the first notes, the happiness to listen to, or in our case to be able to play for those who came to hear, as well as the sadness when it all ends, as when I went to concerts and in the end the lights were lit and the group was no longer there, maybe you had waited months for that concert and it's the same feeling when you finish and go back in the dressing room and you look around with others all over now, until next time, if there will be an opportunity.

Fila smoothly when a father and son embark on an experience so intense?

Beppe : I'd be lying if I said yes. Even if we are joined by Claudio a great and strong love between father and son are also difficult moments, I sometimes do not realize that I grew up, who is a musician gradissimo a real talent and at times it seems to me that he can complete what I was not able to do musically, so come in small competitions that are logical and righteous rebels. But listening to what he writes at the end, after sailing a immense sea of \u200b\u200brock-pop-symphonic concerts and having a lot of hours behind them and listened to records, I realize that is a great musician and we welcome the bickering if you need to let him play drums, keyboards and cha all the other instruments can play in this way. I like to recall a phrase that I really love his wife Emon, who photographs well the artistic situation of Claudius. She says, "Look .. when Claudio takes up an instrument, the instrument comes to life only because he can do and say so ... "When he told me this will not tell you the happiness, and how I felt proud, and I must admit that, as just defined and painted the pictures of the new album tracks, as what is said Claudio artistically. I'm sure we will continue to bicker so hard as sometimes happens, but at the end of a concert the first person who embraces his father is Claudio. Music has always been my life and like any parent I have a little 'put my dreams in my son, without forcing, believing and sacrificing a lot and he is paying off big, not that I expected, all' beginning of everything, that would really choose this path. I hope the music gives him what he has given to me as it has signed with the interest, I arrived to record two discs from 50 to 52 years, while I dreamed of it many years ago, he is 26 years gradissimo a musician for more with two albums behind them, I can not be satisfied?

The technology now exists to get anywhere in a flash. Obviously there is a downside. If you were to take stock of the last decade, resulting from the evolution of the media and by the change businnes, things she will be out?

Beppe: Well, much has changed, now arrives faster at all thanks to the evolution of the web, but at the same time have lost those situations that leave you to imagine dreaming, I do not know if it happened to you: I was an avid reader of Ciao2001 and all the newspapers of the time. I remember that I am keeping the money to buy it and sit and live concert reviews of the discs that were the real stories of what happened out on the stage and beyond. Saputelli today are all, each one opens a blog and start writing even though he knows nothing of the topic that deals with, but does because there is this great democracy that is the web, sometimes used very well, others very dangerous, but unfortunately is the price you pay. But when you want to put you opened the newspaper and M. Caffarelli, etc ... A Gallo told us of the exploits of Genesis, the of Yes or ELP? I every time I re-read some articles and I shudder today. Well, I find myself nostalgic and criticized my father ... if I felt! Finally however it is nice to see interviews articles about yourself that you do not even dreamed of, but it would be great to see anytime, anywhere over Reviewed by Ciao2001 the dream, etc. Muzak. would mean that they are very young and in top of the world prog-rock of the 70s. I'm sorry, I was not limited to the last ten years, but I wanted to tell these feelings, which gets the feeling that we describe in " 03.02.74, which is the excuse to tell the contrary, try to understand what were the 70s and mid 80s, has produced little else, the last ten years even less musically speaking.

There is a perfect musician or group, that maybe considered unattainable, is was the common source of inspiration.

Claudio: The music is endless and every musician has something to say, and you can learn something, always. There is no perfect music, but there are forms of the perfect inspiration for us all which of course are subjective, and may arrive in different ways, but when he starts playing with enthusiasm and with something in your stomach that makes you not stop, and salt and salt, that is the perfect time, and maybe part of a movie, a musician or images, it depends. Music teaches us that nothing is unattainable because everything can always go over and over expectations, perhaps without even knowing it. Bach is one of the greatest composers in history-inspired town that still goes to school, but the music is evolving, and there comes a man named Emerson later in the time it takes the body to a completely new, but maybe Emerson believed that "it is really too grand what I feel, unattainable." Perhaps there are times when you think that something is unattainable, but with the passion and enthusiasm, without meaning to, sometimes more than what was believed impossible. Unfortunately, our music is born in years where there is now really anything and everything, but we managed to create our sound and our style, bringing something innovative in the way of seeing music today.

What would you like to be the future of "Pandora" in the next 5 years?

Corrado: It is easy to see our future ... of course with many fine premise that we can be optimistic and hope for the best: listen to our songs on the radio, giving many concerts, and why not sell many records! A minimum ambition, there must be otherwise cease the purpose for which we are investing so much about our project. Fortunately the three of us we are great friends and we always manage to come to terms with all the problems. What we can tell for sure, and 'we have material for many drives, so the future of Pandora at present, and' radiant, and could not be otherwise.
