Frequency Of Humanity - CD 24k Gold

€ 21,90

  Frequency Of Humanity CD 24k Gold 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.

PROJECT ONE (LP 180 GR + CD + FILE HD)

€ 59,00

PROJECT ONE (LP 180 GR + CD*  + FILE HD*) Marco Lo Muscio, David Jackson, John Hackett, Steve Hackett *CD (NO JEWEL BOX) and HD files are inside the vinyl.   "Project One": a recording project Velut Luna that was born thanks to the friendship and the long musical and artistic collaboration of the M, Marco Lo Muscio. with three iconic names of progressive and contemporary music: David Jackson, John Hackett and Steve Hackett. The project is a great tribute, with totally acoustic arrangements, to the various styles of the great music of the '900 and contemporary. The basic system sees the gothic and symphonic sound of the pipe organ amalgamated with the power of the saxophones of David Jackson. The guitar of Steve Hackett and the flute of John Hackett add the final touch in some special arrangements created specifically for this recording project. The composers chosen come from the world of music of the '900 and contemporary (Benjamin Britten, György Ligeti, Aaron Copland, George Martin and Marco Lo Muscio), soundtracks (Wojciech Kilar), Modern Jazz (Jan Garbarek) and Progressive (King Crimson, Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, David Jackson and Steve Hackett). Listening acoustically to this music will reveal new nuances and details; you will also understand how progressive music interpreted in this key is actually very close and influenced by classical music of the '900. Finally, the well-known high quality of Velut Luna recordings by Marco Lincetto will offer an incredible sound range in listening to this original and unique recording project!

C'ERA UNA VOLTA IN ROMAGNA - Danze tribali del popolo del Liscio

€ 18,00

C'ERA UNA VOLTA IN ROMAGNA, danze tribali del popolo del Liscio (trans.: Once Upon A Time in Romagna, Tribal Dances of the Liscio Style's People) Velut Luna CVLD 252 Introduction The idea of this LP starts from a sincere curiosity about our cultural roots and is the result of a musical journey that brought us to cast aside all the xenophilous trends that, in the arts, seemed to afflict us. The recovery of this music is done with great creativity. The language used to approach the songs is the language of traditional jazz, but the sound, with keyboards and electric guitars, gives some rock nuances to the whole product. Until a short time ago, and still now, the word “Liscio” was associated, in the imagination of most people, to a ignorant subculture made of elderly gentlemen and prosperous ladies, who gathered in shiny clothes dancing to this corny music. The exhumation of Liscio and its people may sound as the discovery of a cannibal tribe from Indochina, with all its rituals and practices. The stereotype helps, but there is so much more to be said about this world: amazing orchestras, led by great composers and musicians such as Carlo Brighi, Secondo Casadei, Ivano Nicolucci, Castellina-Pasi, were there for 50 years, playing 35 concerts per month to please their audience. The people from Romagna is marked from this story beyond repair, and this is true both for those who are part of this world and for those who snubs it . The Romagna folk music has nothing to envy to other Folk Music styles from all over the world, which enjoy greater consideration, such as blues, tango, salsa and musette...on the contrary...
