DISPO(sitivoperilanciobliquodiunasferetta)'s story began in 1997.
Its four memberes chose their name when they were "enlightened"by the description of a device pictured in a physics book, thus deciding (almost involuntarily) the destiny of the band itself: to gain enjoyment from the attempted application of a scientific concept which would enclose the formula to their sound, through a completely non-accademical approach.

Much in the same way a child would do, if given a contruction kit without the instructions.

In 2007 their first self-produced 3 track release, "La Gente Mormora" was out, already exhibiting their histrionic and multifaceted character.This process was finally concluded with the completion of their first full length album,"Rembrandt Era Eccezionale (Con Tutte Quelle Luci)", released in May 2009 through Ultra Hertz Records, Lemming Records e Respira Records a trio of small yet fierce DIY labels. In that year Giorgio became a stable member (already a guitarist in their spastic free rock project, "Double K.O.") as third guitarist, bringing new lifeblood and a more articulated yet solid sound to the group's music.

Dispo's sound dwells in that space between new progressive (a la "Usaisamonster", "Ahleuchatistas" and the italian band "Io Monade Stanca"),90's post rock (see "Tortoise" and "Polvo"), and modern math rock (see "Battles"),all accompanied by an attraction towards crooked pop melodies a la "Deerhoof".

During the course of their career they have shared the stage with groups such as: The Usaisamonster, Chinese Stars, Clinic, Old Time Relijun, Aids Wolf, Ahleuchatistas,Capillary Action and Ufomammut. And have toured Europe with Sax Ruins and Stig Noise MMX.

They evolved into a small cult name in the Roman (and national) underground panorama, to the sound of odd time signatures, sharp guitars and ultra-catchy synths and they actually working on their second full length album.

La storia dei DISPOsitivoperilanciobliquodiunasferetta nasce nel 1997. I quattro scelgono il loro nome,"illuminati" dalla descrizione di un congegno raffigurato in un libro di fisica del liceo, decidendo così (quasi involontariamente) quale sarà il destino stesso del gruppo: divertirsi nel tentare di applicare una concezione scientifica per racchiudere la formula del loro suono, ma utilizzare nell'atto pratico espedienti per nulla accademici o teorici, bensì paragonabili ai processi mentali di un bambino che si trova davanti ad un cumulo di costruzioni senza però avere con sè le istruzioni per montarle insieme.
Nel corso della loro carriera hanno diviso il palco con gruppi del calibro di: Zu, The Usaisamonster, Chinese Stars, Clinic, Old Time Relijun, Ronin, Stig Noise, Aids Wolf, Ahleuchatistas, Capillary Action ed Ufomammut, diventando un piccolo nome di culto nel panorama underground capitolino, e non solo: dopo un tour europeo con i mitici Sax Ruins, sono entrati a marzo in studio per incidere il loro secondo album; il full lenght sarà anticipato dall'uscita, a novembre, di uno split con i loro ''uk mates'' Barberos, nato da una co-produzione con l'etichetta inglese Payper Tiger e varie etichette italiane, tra cui Brigadisco, Hola Halo Records, New Sonic Records e contemporaneamente da un nuovo tour che li vedrà in giro per gran parte dell' Europa.

Multi-platinum record selling musician and record producer, Glenn Morrison is the archetype of the modern DJ/producer star. The 37-year-old Toronto native is as happy rocking an underground house party as he is performing at an exclusive oceanic rooftop venue; as adept at composing an international club anthem like ‘Contact’ as he is at concocting a pop dance record that strikes to the Billboard Charts in America.  His single ‘Goodbye’ has been Certified Double Platinum and went Number 1 for 11 weeks in a row on the Canadian Billboard Chart, as well as going Number 1 in Russia’s Billboard Chart.  It wound up taking over Eastern Europe and became Number 1 in 7 Countries to date.

He is signed to Sony Records, Universal Music Group and Sony Music ATV as a writer, producer, & recording artist. He has been nominated for several Juno Awards in 2015, as well as Fans Choice Award / Dance Artist of the Year / Dance Record of the Year for Sirius XM Radio Music Awards, and won the SOCAN Dance Record of the Year 2015. 

Glenn has enjoyed the support of DJs as varied as John Digweed and Pete Tong to Dixon and Solomun. For three years he was resident at Ibiza’s Amnesia Club, and was a resident at Space in Ibiza for 1 year, as well as Space in Miami for 2 years.  Last year, Glenn added the latest addition to his residency repertoire in his monthly night being held in Las Vegas at the acclaimed Moon Nightclub at the Palms Casino.  And he is perfecting a sinuous, hooky sound that combines the eerie beauty of pure techno with light rains of melody and flashes of emotion.

In short, Glenn Morrison is one of the most dynamic and accomplished talents in electronic music today. Period.

Morrison is a difficult DJ to pigeonhole and that’s what makes him such a fascinating talent. One minute his sound is ruthlessly minimal and funky; the next it’s washed in color and vocals and emotion.

Glenn has had an unusual career path. He started off as a classical pianist, a preteen prodigy, performing  – and winning – competitions. Then came a life-changing encounter with electronic music.

Production continues apace in the new mastering studio Morrison has built in Toronto, entitled Alpine Mastering (www.alpinemastering.com). Be it sound design for video game companies like Nintendo, EA Sports, Activision or Rockstar, or his own productions, he simply doesn’t stop making and playing music.  His latest partnership with IMAX has been a thrilling experience, pushing the boundaries of electronic music to that of sound-scoring live theatre visuals.  Glenn & IMAX unveiled this concept with a 3 part show series at the 2012 ComicCon event held at the Ruben H Fleet Science Centre in San Diego, and it was a huge success. “It’s been a liberating transition for me to make music for all different stylistic purposes, and I’m very grateful for having the ability to do what I love for a living” says Glenn.

Watch this brilliant artist over the course of 2021 as he will be reshaping and redefining how we perceive electronic music through an ample amount of live shows, performances, and recordings.
