Monica Shannon – smouldering mediterranean warmth with celtic influences

IMIsound posted on May 29th, 2009

Monica Shannon has been singing and writing songs for more than ten years. When she was 12, she started playing piano and noting her first inspirations. She had a great teacher, Mr Aldo Garavini, musician at “La Scala Orchestra” in Milan. He introduced her to the magical music world of Prokofiev, Bela Bartok, Debussy; he taught her how poetry inspires music and vice versa. She remembers that when she played the piano, he used to read a poem and, during one of those sessions, she got to know Dylan Thomas and Octavio Paz as well…unforgettable lessons! Then, when she was 17, she started singing and, at the same time, she wrote her first soundtrack for a comedy in her home town theatre, “La Verità di Mezzanotte” (Midnight Truth). In order to improve her vocal technique, she took jazz style classes with a famous singer, Tiziana Ghiglioni, for two years. During that period she was invited to be the lead vocalist of a Jazz-Swing Band, “The 52nd Street Swing Band”, performing standards in pubs and theatres. She has always been looking for her innermost artistic direction and she thought that travelling was the right way to start and open her mind towards different cultures and music styles. The place where she started this adventure was Ireland. A lot of her songs are actually inspired by the old celtic music and then arranged in a current key. An increasing collaboration with other artists also improved her creativity. First of all, with her previous band, the “Diadema”, she produced a high quality demo of her repertoire and most successful concerts. Then, thanks to the support of two talented songwriters and producers, Seba and Rik Sentenza, she had the opportunity to re-arrange some of her best songs. With their support, she has recently released her first album “Beyond 9”, mastered in New York. The aim of her music is to convey all her feelings, sensations and emotions, so that if you close your eyes you can see what she sees and feel what she feels. Listener feedback will help her to understand better and will complete the dialogue. After various journeys, she is now getting into humanitarian causes. Being a passionate ocean lover, she is firmly against the hunting of whales and she finds the killing of these gentle giants absolutely appalling. Also, thanks to one of her best friends, Marina, who visited Laos for a long time, she got to know the cause of MAG (Mines Advisory Group), a British Organisation operating in different countries, fighting against unexploded landmines. She wishes to support them through her music and will do her best to do so.

Edoardo Fainello – from piano to electronica to ethnic with grace and style

Edoardo Fainello was born in Venice on the 17th December 1969. He strated to study music at the age of 10 and was just 15 when he joined his first musical group, the Extra Pressure. At the age of 17, together with a few members from other groups, he formed Kyo and began composing music and lyrics inspired by David Sullivan’s Japanese sounds. After three years he decided to leave the group and start composing as a solo artist, dedicating his attention exclusively to instrumental music. His first work, “Hunted”, is the soundtrack to a documentray film on human rights presented for the first time in Padova in 1993. This work was followed by numerous other soundtracks in collaboration with other musicians from the Venice area. In 1999 Edoardo composed his second album, “Moonlighting”, which became something of an icon for fans of Mike Oldfield who saw in Fainello the style of the creator of “Tubular Bells”. He also received numerous prizes for his soundtrack of “Top of the World”. Edoardo’s third album, “Apnea” – ten tracks united by the sound of the Duduk – marked a new evolution in which electronica started to leave space for ethnic contamination. It was the birth of the “Kahman” project, the name under which Edoardo would compose from then onwards. The composer’s biggest challenge came with “Bridge to Babel”, a 55 minute suite for orchestra, electric and electronic instruments. More recently Edoardo has started working in the theatre both as actor and director, composing the music to his own theatrical works. The latest of these is a double album inspired by the Murakami Haruki’s novel “Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world”. At the same time he is collaborating on the arrangement of a new Top Secret album for a well-known Italian lady singer.

Fabryka – fairy tales and facts, words and metaphors…

IMIsound posted on May 8th, 2009
Filed Under IMISound | Leave a Comment

The “Fabryka” project began at the end of 2004, when Stefano Milella (programming, air-fx, bass guitar, synth, acoustic and electronic drums), Tiziana Felle (voice, guitars, bass guitar), Giovanni Chiapparino (piano, synth, bass, drums, accordion, vibraphone), Agostino Scaranello (bass), and Pasquale Luisi (visual creator) first got together. Although still in its early days, the band is already highly considered and has taken part in the main shows of the music scene. The project aspires at the harmonious blending of acoustic and electronic music, of refined and improvised visuals, all performed or re-created on stage. It is an attempt to merge reality and fiction, fairy tales and facts, words and metaphores. Fabryka could be defined as the moment in which the different facets of a single espression manage to live together. The band’s name is taken from a Kieslowski documentary film, but it is also inspired by the idea of art as a ‘factory’, an assembly line where numerous little pieces are carefully assembled into a final product which does not openly reveal its underlying components: as so often happens in art between thought and expression, feeling and showing, imagination and production.
