‘Art of Sting’ nasce dal desiderio dei quattro suoi componenti di rileggere, in chiave personale, l’immenso patrimonio lasciato dall’artista inglese, soprattutto come solista, dopo la fantastica avventura dei Police.

I membri del quartetto, provenendo da esperienze e ambienti piuttosto diversi, decidono di unirsi per un tributo, volendo coniugare il loro linguaggio con le raffinate ed eleganti melodie e armonie che, da sempre, caratterizzano la produzione di Sting, definendo un repertorio che attraversa sfaccettature pop, rock, jazz, black, esplorando così la bellezza e l’unicità della musica dell’autore.

BlackNuda is an alternative rock band based between Rome and London. Their debut EP ' FearLess on tiptoe ' gets positive reviews on different magazines (Rockerilla, L’indiependente, Storiadellamusica.it) and marks the point where their identity emerges, combining 80’s New-Wave sonic world and contemporary synthesisers. They perform in few italian venues, festivals, theatres and radio programs bringing their music in Berlin, Amsterdam and London. Their music is the soundtrack of three book trailers promoting the noir novels by Luca Poldelmengo: L’Uomo Nero, Nel Posto Sbagliato and I pregiudizi di Dio, and in May 2016 they released their first album Rise. In autumn 2019 the collaboration with the producer Steve Lyon (The Cure, Depeche Mode) will lead to a new EP including the single “Walk The Line”. Their concerts are conceived as a blending of music, dance and visual art enabling the power of imaginative landscapes where dream, desire, fear and bravery are evoked.

New Breed first saw the light of day in early 1998, when Kristian Gundersen(vocals and guitar) and Hans Henrik Varland(synth and programming) joined forces to establish what was to become one of the greats among the goth’n’roll acts. Two EP’s were released this year, the second one entitled “Shadows” was produced by Tommy Olsson(Elusive, Theatre Of Tragedy…). A year of gigs, mayhem and minor scandals followed, and in 2000 they picked up a spot at “Sex.Goth.Electronics”, a collection of fine Norwegian underground music. This year also saw the arrival of Bjarte Langeland into the band, who started off as a bass player, but later picked up the guitar. A couple of years of song writing, rehearsals, the occasional gig, fights and the leaving of Hans Henrik followed, and in 2003 “Pleasure and pain” was released, an album which features the backing vocals of Harald Hovtun(Trains, Reflection). While hugely acclaimed by the critics, the album didn’t do as well as one should hope for, so after a few more years of touring, busts and controversy, the band decides to slow down a bit, and spend some time and energy elsewhere. Kristian joined Elusive, and Bjarte spent some time with garage rockers Midtskillewillie before joining The River Knows. Still, there was always a connection, songs were made and rehearsals took place, so when Gothic Music Records entered the field and wanted to re-release “Pleasure and pain”, the spark was lit. The old New Breed inspiration is back, new line up-plans are being made and the band is ready to take on the world harder than ever in the future.

"Variable Timeline" è uno spazio silenzioso dove le suggestioni che abitano le nostre vite vanno a danzare liberamente. Uno sguardo all'Identità, all'Unità... Cercando di tracciare i contorni delle sue infinite trasformazioni (evoluzioni/variazioni).

"Variable Timeline" is a silent place where influences that permeate our lives dance freely. Time does not exist. One looks for Identity, Unity... attempting to trace the outline of its endless transformations (evolutions/variations).
