Raffaele Cileo - electronics and programming;
Alessio Lotterro - guitars, bass, dobro, arrangements;
guest musicians:

Paolo Ormas – drums on “Wolf At Vespers”, “Bad Strings”, “Call The Coroner”;

The project INERT was started by Raffaele Cileo (electronics) and Alessio Lottero (guitars), almost seven thousand kilometers apart, between Pontassieve, in the province of Florence, and New York, the cities in which both artists lived. 
Alessio was originally from Genoa but lived in New York. Every summer, he had the opportunity to spend his holidays in Tuscany where his relatives lived. Here he met Raffaele who lived and worked in Pontassieve and the two shared a great passion for the soundtracks of noir and crime movies.
They immediately began to improvise and record the first sessions and so out of curiosity and a little experimentation, the first home-made demos were created that already represented the embryo of ‘Heartburn’. 
However, the summer holidays didn’t last long and work on the songs needed to go onto the web with an intensive exchange of files that would better define the arrangements.
Raffaele, after many years of absence, returned to his region of origin, Puglia, for his holidays, and it was precisely here in Trani in the summer of 2012, after nearly 20 years, that he bumped into his old friend and producer Beppe Massara, also A & R at Tarock Records, to whom he gave a demo tape with 15 tracks.
Beppe liked the work immediately and decided to produce the entire album INERT, entrusting the rhythm sections, originally electronic, to musicians such as Constantine Massaro from Trani, Paolo Ormas from Barletta and Francesco " Frums " Dettole from Andria, all of whom had been collaborators with Tarock Records for some time
All of the acoustic drums from the Album were recorded at LaVilla 24/7 Studios and the wind instruments sections were entrusted to Marco Nicolini, saxophonist in Bogliasco (Genova).

Because of the distance, the internet became the only way to carry out the production of the album and a long year of work was punctuated by occasional meetings at agreed times via Skype in order to define the structures of the songs that would later be mixed by Beppe Massara between May and August 2013.
The release date is set for 30th September 2013 by Tarock Records.
The music in "Heartburn" is a sonic journey through memories and past images which in turn becomes the original soundtrack of atmospheres and stories yet to be told.

Hog's revenge

Hog's Revenge

INERTPROJECT is an encounter between Raffaele Cileo (electronics & programming) and Alessio Lottero (guitars, bass & keyboards).The two musicians share the passion for the soundtracks of Crime, Horror and Thriller movies .

In summer 2012, Beppe Massara, music producer and Tarock Records A & R, decides to produce the whole first album of Inertproject, result of the studio experiments and massive exchange of audio files of those years: “Heartburn“.

The original electronic rhythmic parts are re-recorded by Apulian musicians who are for a long time collaborators at Tarock Records: Paolo Ormas, Constantino Massaro and Francesco Dettole. All the acoustical drums of the disk are recorded in the studio, while the saxophone sections are performed by Marco Nicolini, from Genoa.

Tarock Records publishes the album on September 30th 2013, and “Heartburn” is released on all the most important online platforms. The first single, «Police Radio», is proposed by some national radios and gets good reviews, and excellent write-ups in the most important music magazines. 

The tracks are all instrumental, and the sound is a mix of noise, industrial, funk and blues music, inspired by the Crossover sonority of the Nineties and the soundtracks of Police and Crime series. The dark atmospheres make way for groovy percussive rhythms; low-fi fragmentary sounds trail away between complex guitars and cracking drums; bluesy melodies alternate with distorted licks and Seventies wah wah riffs. All this creates epic and intensive moments which lead to more ethereal harmonies. 

The music of „Heartburn“ is a journey between past sonorous memories which becomes on his part an original soundtrack of atmospheres and future stories.

 At the end of 2014, the second album of the duo arises: “The New York Sessions“. A 4 track EP, fully recorded, mixed and mastered at Bass Hit Studios in Manhattan. The production of the album is entrusted to the Italian musician and composer Simone Giuliani, who is working since many years in the US. Giuliani takes also care about the arrangements. In this case the work relocates notably from the dark funk lines of „Heartburn“ to electro-acoustic sounds, never tested before by the band, in a sort of rough and minimal folk.

 The drums of the first works vanish and give space to nervous electronic rhythmics. Steel strings guitars and dobros become protagonists. It happens that the tracks of the New York Sessions find the way to some documentary films of the Swiss television channel „NZZ Format“ in Zurich. An opportunity to popularize the music of Inertproject in the world of TV and soundtracks for films.
The third work is still in the mix phase.
„The Hog’s Revenge“: That’s the title of the new 3 track EP which continues in a way the electro acoustical progress of the preceding albums and partially the distressed nights of „Heartburn“. The work is sort of a reverence to the dark and sober atmospheres.
This time the material is gonna be arranged and mixed independently. The first self produced album by InertProject at Rotornoise Soundtracks studio in florence where they live actually.
