  • CORRADO RUSTICI È DISPONIBILE IL NUOVO ALBUM DI CHITARRA “INTERFULGENT”: Un Viaggio in Un Paesaggio Sonoro Transmoderno
    CORRADO RUSTICI È DISPONIBILE IL NUOVO ALBUM DI CHITARRA “INTERFULGENT”: Un viaggio in un paesaggio sonoro transmoderno 10/06/2021 Questo nuovo lavoro nasce dal desiderio profondo di trascendere le tenebre socioculturali che circondano tutti, con l’aiuto di nuove idee, rappresentate metaforicamente, in copertina, da un oggetto luminoso, foriero di tempi migliori. Musicalmente è uno sforzo compositivo fatto per ricollocare la chitarra elettrica in un contesto musicale più contemporaneo. I brani sono caratterizzati da suoni di chitarra unici, creati anche con l’aiuto di un pedale - ideato da Corrado e realizzato per la DV Mark – che dà allo strumento una voce incredibilmente espressiva ed originale e che Corrado definisce “chitarristicamente liberatoria”.Le composizioni, e il chitarrismo contenuto in esse, sono frutto di un ulteriore passo in avanti di Corrado verso l’uso di un linguaggio musicale epurato da influenze afro-americane, preferendo – invece – un vocabolario più Europeo (e a volte partenopeo) per esprimere i momenti “blues/nostalgici” dei brani.L’uso di sonorità elettroniche contemporanee, insieme a memi chitarristici fusion/progressivi/classici, contribuiscono ad un paesaggio sonoro suggestivo, che Corrado definisce “Transmoderno”. L’album si avvale della collaborazione di Alex Argento, che ha suonato le tastiere sulla maggior parte dei brani, tranne “The man from Yorkshire”, “Khetwadi Lane” e “G. on a sunny day”, eseguiti interamente da Corrado.I mix e la masterizzazione sono stati curati da Sabino Cannone.Al seguente link è online anche il video del brano “Night of the jackal”: https://youtu.be/LOGbtmiGkAE Questa la tracklist dell’album: “Halo Drive”, “Night of the jackal”, “The man from Yorkshire (Dedicated to A.H.)”, “Black Swan”, “Anna”, “Interfulgent”, “Khetwadi Lane”, “ZuZu Blues”, “The waters of Enceladus”, “G.

  • Roberto Vecchioni
    Roberto Vecchioni Roberto Vecchioni nasce a Milano nel 1943 da genitori napoletani, è sposato e ha quattro figli. Nel 1968 si laurea in lettere antiche all'Università Cattolica di Milano, dove resterà per due anni come assistente di "Storia delle religioni", proseguendo poi per trent'anni la sua attività di insegnante di greco, latino, italiano e storia nei licei classici. Nel 1999-2000, su richiesta del Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione ha tenuto più di ottanta conferenze nelle scuole e università italiane e francesi, incontrando oltre 80.000 studenti sul tema "Musica e Poesia" e illustrando l'evoluzione storica e letteraria della "forma" canzone dalle origini ai giorni nostri. La sua attività nel mondo musicale inizia negli anni 60, quando comincia a scrivere canzoni per artisti affermati (Vanoni, Zanicchi, Cinquetti, Michele etc.); collaborazioni che riprenderà più tardi anche per Nannini, Oxa, Patty Pravo, Adamo. Nel 1971 si propone per la prima volta come interprete delle sue canzoni e nel '73 partecipa al "Festival di Sanremo" con "L'uomo che si gioca il cielo a dadi". Nel 1974 vince il premio della critica discografica come miglior disco dell'anno per "Il re non si diverte". Il successo di pubblico arriva nel '77 con l'album "Samarcanda", cui fanno seguito altri 20 albums per una vendita totale che supera i 6 milioni di copie (nel 1992 il brano "Voglio una donna", da "Camper", vince il "Festivalbar" come canzone più ascoltata dell'anno). Oltre ad essere interprete delle sue canzoni in numerose tournè di successo, presso i più grandi teatri italiani, Vecchioni è anche autore di libri e saggi e collabora con articoli di fondo e commento per i massimi giornali italiani.
