MARTIAN NOISE are two brothers, Gabriele Lucchin, 19, and Niccolò Lucchin, 17. And they are also the Black Swan of the Italian music world today.
Two young virtuosos of their respective instruments, deep and refined connoisseurs of the epic of the great Prog of the origins, that of the 70s, born and raised between Great Britain and Italy. For them, and thanks to their family tradition, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Genesis, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project, etc. are the daily bread with which they grew and were formed, acquiring an encyclopedic and deep culture of that sound world, thus defining their own original aesthetics of Music.
It was therefore inevitable to arrive at this FREQUENCY (of Humanity), which far from representing a sad derivative clone of the works of the Masters, takes up the stylistic elements, with calligraphic respect, However, offering Music really new and for our days absolutely innovative, fresh and regenerating, in a stagnant ocean of banality, non-Muslim vulgarly predicative.
And they also assume the responsibility of proposing an entire album without voices, without singing, without those "words" that today seem to be the only reason for attraction for a too large audience, who has given up the evocative pleasure of pure music to the nth degree. Well, they think MARTIAN NOISE to awaken attention!
From a technical point of view the unavoidable choice has been to use for their performances ONLY analog instruments directly from the 70s and 80s; as well as most of the work flow of recording, mix and mastering has been realized in the analog domain. No computer, no sampler, no software was used in the execution phase. And the title of the album, and the cover image, somehow want to point this way, where Humanity, Humanism, overcomes and defeats the dystopian technocratic technicality of today. A tear of vital light in the night of the circuits and bits.

Many thanks to: our family, in particular our father Gianmatteo Lucchin for having followed and supported us, managing the tuning part of the drums perfecting the instrument during the studio recordings; our uncle Daniele Lucchin for playing in tracks 6, 7 and 8 building solid bass lines on which it was a pleasure to play.
