My music is electronic music in the widest sense. Just like
I don't understand (even if I obviously respect) the choice to live a life where
every day is precisely like the previous one,
I couldn't stand making only one kind of music. Life is fortunately
made of so many different emotions, so many different experiences, so many different
stages, so many different thoughts, that I just couldn't force myself
to express only one single aspect of it.Therefore, be prepared to find all kinds of stuff in my records. In some of them you
can find it all, while others are more consistent in style, but I sure don't like to play
the same kind of thing over and over.
To have a rough idea of what they sound like, just click on the covers to
be taken to each record's individual page where you'll find plenty of one-minute
excerpts to listen to, or to their Bandcamp pages where you can stream the full
albums for free or buy them.
The risk with downloads
is that one will only listen to separate tracks and not to the album as a whole.
Please, do yourselves a favor
and listen to the albums from beginning to end, otherwise it'll be like reading
only some chapters of a book: the story and the meaning will disappear. Today's
shallowness and laziness have made the very concept of album vanish:
please, let's bring it back together.
If you want to subscribe to my newsletter and be informed when a new album is
available, please send an email to
macnight@inwind.it ,
I'll be glad to add you to my mailing list (no, I will not spam you to death,
I'm too lazy for that - I only send one when I have a new album or something...)

I
called this series of albums "Classic EM" (EM stands for Electronic
Music) because they find their origins in the classic EM of the
70's, especially that of German musicians such as Tangerine Dream,
Klaus
Schulze, etc. This genre has been given many names over the years
-
cosmic music, krautrock, and more - but it is now generally called "Berlin
School".
Please
don't expect an imitation of the bands I mentioned above, as I obviously
put into my music what comes out of my soul and even if I chose to use this
form of expression I have no interest in being a clone. So, yes, it is Berlin
School, but also - and especially - my music, whether good or bad. |

This
series of albums features music that doesn't fit into one genre, but
freely moves through
different forms of expressions without any limit - hence the definition "Just Music".
The material you will find in these albums is sometimes harder and sometimes
easier to listen to compared to my other "series" (some albums might
even be considered "commercial," while othersmight be way too hard to listen
to for most people). nevertheless, all these albums profoundly express
my feelings and experiences, so please listen
with your heart and soul fully open and with no prejudice. I've added a "genre" label
under the album covers that - while being very broad and vague - might
help you choose which albums you want to explore. However, these labels
shouldn't
be taken too literally, as some albums fall into too many
and
diverse
or too vague genres. So please think of them as "more or less this kind
of music" and not as "exactly this kind of music". |

SPACE ADVENTURES series
Because
of my passion for classic science fiction films and books, I had plenty
of fun making these albums, as they are a perfect soundtrack to my
childlike fantasies
about space and starships. |

SPACE ADVENTURES: third trilogy completed!
The
third trilogy is finally complete, even if it is a bit anomalous.
In fact, chapters two and three are actually vol 01 and 02 of a double
album. Space Train Antares was in the making for so long that I eventually
found myself with too much material for just a single album, so I
made it a two-volume album.

Antares,

exciting project that will go beyond music. It's too early to talk
about it,
but it will be a nice addition to the Space Adventures Universe! :) |

SCI-FI
series
"The
Last City" began a series about science fiction (more "modern" than
the "Space
Adventures" series and its 40's to 60's atmospheres) back in 2007. However, it was years before I finally added a second volume to the series, but hopefully further additions
will come more frequently in the future.

I
liked horror stories
even as a child, but it was during the 80's that - like most teenagers
- I was totally fascinated by horror. Perhaps it's kids' way
to get acquainted with the real horrors in life, or maybe it's
some
ancestral necessity to witness what
would be natural violence if we still were what we actually are
and delude ourselves into thinking we're not: beasts.
Whatever the case, horror seems to
be an ingredient of most teenagers' lives...
It
seems unavoidable to feel some fondness for the
things that were part of our lives during our youth (oh boy, I'm beginning
to speak like an old man!!), even those that were objectively cheesy.
This series of albums is a tribute to horror films (especially
those from the '80's), both the bad ones and the good ones, and it's made for
the
same
reason
why
I
went
to
see
those
movies
as a teenager: fun (and some other undefinable reason...)! |

When
I was a kid and only made music for myself and a couple of very patient
friends who listened to my audiocassettes, I also liked making "singles"
on tape, even if my dream (that never came true, of course) was to release
them on vinyl, the classic and awesome 45 rpm's.
Having grown so used to recording full albums, I didn't think of singles until, in 2008, I found myself with a handful
of tracks I liked but didn't fit in any of the albums I was working on. So I collected those and a few alternate versions of album tracks on my first "single".
I didn't plan to make it available, though, it was just for myself. However, in 2009 I made an album of covers that, at the time of writing, I haven't been able to release due to the absurd
red tape of the Italian copyright office. That album also featured two tracks that didn't need copyright clearance, as they were covers of
two wondrous tracks by E=motion (aka Jacek Spruch from Poland) who kindly gave me permission to record them. I wanted these to be available,
so I made a free download single for them and thought I could make the first one available, too, while I was at it.
So the "CD single series" is here, now - enjoy! :) |
