EP “Electronic Ego”: 5 tracce tra prog rock e sonorità elettroniche

Vi presento “Electronic Ego”: il nuovo progetto al quale sto lavorando, nato dall’idea di reinterpretare in chiave elettronica alcuni brani del mio precedente album EGO (2024), un concept che racconta il viaggio della mia anima, della mia vita, un racconto di periodi difficili, ma anche di rinascite, un continuo cercare di affrontare il nemico interno a tutti noi, per combatterlo, per sconfiggerlo, a volte riuscendoci, a volte no.

L’EP “Electronic Ego” conterrà 5 tracce: 4 tratte da “EGO” ed un brano inedito recentemente composto. Il risultato sarà un viaggio unico tra prog rock e sonorità elettroniche, un ponte tra mondi musicali che amo esplorare.

“Mother, I’m not alone, half of me is with me,/ and I’m surrounded by souls from the past,/ and from the present, and from the eternal,/ and I fly free.// Mother, I need to fill immense voids,/ and I’m inured to inaudible,/ but intense, binaural beats,/ that take my breath away.//” ‒ “Half of Me”

Il tuo contributo mi aiuterà a realizzare un prodotto di qualità professionale, dalla registrazione, mix e mastering, fino a grafica, distribuzione e promozione.

Anche una piccola cifra può fare la differenza per la realizzazione del progetto “Electronic Ego”.

Potrai contribuire in modo concreto alla pubblicazione dell’EP ed anche di farne parte in modo significativo.

Infatti per ringraziarti per il tuo sostegno il tuo nome verrà inserito nel booklet dell’EP in una speciale sezione, indipendentemente dall'importo.

È anche possibile, oltre ad essere nominati come supporter nel booklet, ricevere una Mystery Box in Limited Edition (EP, gadget ed altre sorprese) con la donazione, pari o superiore, di 100 euro.

“Oh my darling,/ I want to picture you going to sleep,/ the night is long./ I’ll take charge of your tears,/ don’t cry, I’ll cry,/ like the incessant autumn rain.// Why can’t I imagine you happy?/ And I don’t see my moon protecting you?/ Why don’t atoms combine happily?/ Why is it so difficult to understand oneself?//” ‒ “I want to picture you going to sleep”

ENGLISH

EP “Electronic Ego”: 5 tracks between prog rock and electronic sounds

I present to you “Electronic Ego” — the new project I’m currently working on. It was born from the idea of reinterpreting, through an electronic lens, some tracks from my previous album EGO (2024) — a concept work that narrates the journey of my soul and my life: a story of difficult times but also of rebirth, a constant attempt to face the inner enemy we all share, to fight it, to defeat it — sometimes succeeding, sometimes not.

The EP “Electronic Ego” will include 5 tracks: four taken from EGO and one brand new composition. The result will be a unique journey between prog rock and electronic sounds — a bridge between musical worlds I love to explore.

“Mother, I’m not alone, half of me is with me,/ and I’m surrounded by souls from the past,/ and from the present, and from the eternal,/ and I fly free.// Mother, I need to fill immense voids,/ and I’m inured to inaudible,/ but intense, binaural beats,/ that take my breath away.//” — Half of Me

Your contribution will help me create a professional-quality product — from recording, mixing, and mastering, to artwork, distribution, and promotion.

Even a small amount can make a real difference in bringing “Electronic Ego” to life.

You’ll have the chance to actively support the release of the EP — and also become a meaningful part of it.

As a token of gratitude for your support, your name will be included in the EP booklet in a special section, regardless of the amount donated.

It’s also possible, in addition to being mentioned as a supporter in the booklet, to receive a Limited Edition Mystery Box (EP, merchandise, and other surprises) for donations of €100 or more.

“Oh my darling,/ I want to picture you going to sleep,/ the night is long./ I’ll take charge of your tears,/ don’t cry, I’ll cry,/ like the incessant autumn rain.// Why can’t I imagine you happy?/ And I don’t see my moon protecting you?/ Why don’t atoms combine happily?/ Why is it so difficult to understand oneself?//” — I want to picture you going to sleep
