This track is born from a 30-minutes jam made in April 2011 with Mr. Brother Carnazza on bass.
-
Affogando nell'Oceano dei Sogni, ho visto un'orchestra sottomarina: cori di balenotteri scandivano i movimenti sincronizzati di un balletto di cetacei... Tornando sull'Isola della Realtà, ho conservato il ricordo dei loro canti: ci rivedremo ancora... dove il mare incontra il cielo.

Il brano nasce da una jam session di 30 minuti con Brother Carnazza al basso fretless (alias Fabrizio Bernardi, https://www.youtube.com/user/BrotherCarnazza/videos) svoltasi ad Aprile del 2011.

Live@ WAO FESTIVAL 2015 (140BPM Edit)

Spoken (in italian)
"E quello cos'è?"
"Pare che ci sia qualcosa sepolto sotto il ghiaccio..."
"Ci troviamo di fronte a un organismo che imita le altre forme viventi... e le imita perfettamente"
"C'era una di quelle COSE, là fuori, che cercava di imitare, capisci?"
"Nessuno... si fida più di nessuno ormai... e siamo tutti molto stanchi"
(from John Carpenter's "The Thing", 1982)

An adaptation of my opening live performance from the electronic music festival Calcatronica 2015 (14-15-16 August) in Calcata (Italy) and a tribute to the great John Carpenter !

[EN] The independent project Humandala Sound System moved its first steps in Rome between '99 and 2000, a one-man-band featuring many stimulating collaborations. Feeding on electronic, industrial, ambient, funk, jazz and blues, it generates back ALWAYS musical contaminations. Tracks emerge and take shape from long jam sessions. Loops & improvisation are crucial components, also during public live performances: they're blended in a unique, psychedelic way, every time. Musically speaking, this is the Humandala* concept. Enjoy!

[IT] Il progetto Humandala Sound System nasce a cavallo tra il vecchio e il nuovo millennio: un periodo di transizione che vede nella contaminazione fra i generi musicali il riflesso dei suoi mutevoli tratti somatici. I brani prendono forma emergendo da lunghe jam session, mandala umani distillati e lasciati sgocciolare nelle acque della rete... Loops e improvvisazione sono componenti fondamentali anche durante le performance dal vivo: dalla loro miscela, sensibile e reattiva alla sinergia col pubblico e l'ambiente, scaturisce un momento musicale ogni volta unico e irripetibile. Questo è lo spirito del mandala umano!
