Awakened from their slumber by the polished plastic sound of modern metal, the heavy metal gods of old were angered; and in their fury they forged a sword of steel in a heathen fire. They saw that it was good, and it pierced the sky and shook the heavens, where it wreaked havoc until it met the iron grip of the angel in red. Electric storms swept across the earth, uniting amplifiers into one gigantic power chord that now echoes in the name of those who came before us. The purpose of Angel Sword is clear – let NWOBHM be the law, dueling leads the scripture, and galloping rhythms the canon!

Sylvester Spooner - White noise

Eviltaker- Regular pulse midst pandemonium

St. Peter - Overwhelming locomotion

If there was a gigantic iron machine that manufactured the apocolypse, I endeavor to portray what it would sound like. But I have decided to depart from my familiar industrial and metal roots to explore what dubstep bass and synth sounds can add to my arsenal. It's a different beast but I am extremely excited to be learning so much about these sounds and how they're created. I have high hopes and ideals so bear with me as I experiment and grow in this genre. For now I decided to include these early experiments but please stick around I have some big plans and ideas I can't wait to share with everyone. Feel free to write message or comment I'd love to make some new friends on Soundcloud and welcome any advice you guys may have.

I decided when I was 16 years old that I will dedicate my life to music as a way to find myself and fulfill my god given potential whether rich or poor, whether dead or alive I will be a musician.  

​My influences vary from genre to genre and from different types of human beings.  I was born into a world of hard rock and metal, listening to what my dad would put on his gigantic sound system as we were getting ready to go surfing, snowboarding, and motocross racing. We played bands like Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Slipnot, and Rammstein to pursue being champions at the sports we loved.  Once I blossomed into my late teens, I fell in love with blues and hard rock. From artists and bands like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and so on, this was the age that I got chained to a musical instrument which was a Gibson bass guitar at the time. I felt like I mastered the instrument and I decided after one night of listening to Yngwie Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun" to pick up the guitar and devote my life to it.  I wrote and released two albums as a "Solo Guitarist" but not long after fell in love with writing for film and video game music including which is now what I do now with ALL of my time.  From Berklee I received a totally well rounded education on every type of music theory and recording techniques including music editing(cue sheets/dubbing logs/exc.), scoring, producing different genres and orchestrating for media. Many of my cues I have done are stuck to the film they were written for but all of my other and most recent projects will be posted here! https://soundcloud.com/user-197927279?fbclid=IwAR1JpRrNPa_8dQJUK70T5vCSznqf4J5WlIak-4Xbv6yJEC3i0BSYAC4nUCo or on Spotify/all other platforms.

InVerso – Duo
ALESSIO ALBERGHINI – Soprano & Baritone saxes.
GARRISON FEWELL – Electric guitar,  Guitar, Prepared and Bowedguitar, slide, percussion.

InVerso is the latest project that  Alessio Alberghini created in collaboration with one of the greatest guitarists of all times,  Garrison Fewell.   A game of sound reflections which attract or distance each other.  Compositions that light up or put in the shadow elements which create concepts, emotions and feelings belonging  to the same shape, thought, life,  despite they are inverse.  Music where  the absence of a body is detected through  its shadow. “Ups” which blur with  “Downs”,  voids which circumscribe solids, black /white, noise/sound, nothing/all.

The InVerse of everything is its  complementary  and unexpected element. Our thoughts exist because we know their InVerse.  We can call things because we know their InVerse:  two polarities of the same concept without  exceptions to this logic.  

InVerso is  like moving towards the thought that represents  the equilibrium of our existence.

GALACTUS -  Trio

ALESSIO ALBERGHINI – Baritone & Soprano saxes, Flute.

SIMONE PEDERZOLI - Trombone

GIORGIO CASADEI  - Electric guitar,  double-neck bass guitar.   

Galactus, the gigantic character of  Marvel comics,  wanders in the universe in search of planets to devour. Planets are his food.

 The Galactus Trio wanders likewise  in the world of sounds  in search of those they  like  better.  Sounds are  swallowed and  assimilated but not destroyed.  The Trio  assembles them  and gives  them  an  identity  which is  consistent with   the way of being of the band and its  concept of making music.

The music of Galactus Trio  is innovative, sometimes undisciplined, sometimes reflective, always in search of a balance between  composition and  improvisation,  desire of research and  pleasure to listen.  A  laboratory where  the timbres of the trombone, saxophones (baritone and soprano), flute and electric guitar mix,  creating new alchemies.  

After previous experiences in the  world  of music between jazz and rock, the Galactus Trio now proposes  original compositions mainly inspired by the super-heroes of Marvel comics  (Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Spider-Woman, the X-Men)    based on their adventures but above  all on their psychological  complexity and contradictions as  human beings and super-heroes.

Alessio Alberghini (saxes & flutes) and Tiziano Zanotti (double bass)  have always collaborated  (since their first project “Influences”) moving between  the two polarities of sounds in the classical style  and the avant-garde research.

In PSAICO BOP  the line-up becomes a trio, adding drummer Claudio Trotta.  The three musicians, although with different  backgrounds and  experiences,  are involved and contribute in  this creative process in search of new ways of expression in the immense universe of jazz music

A devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba interested in exploring the doctrine of Surrender as taught by Shirdi Sai Baba and Sri Krishna for application in the pursuit of spiritual and material goals.

Born in the late sixties in a small town near Madurai in Tamil Nadu in India in a family with the tradition of producing aspirants in Jnana Yoga, I didn't evince any interest in any spiritual practice till nineties.

Throughout the nineties my only spiritual practice worth the name was reading Bhagavad Gita.

In 1999, I happened to read a book on Shirdi Sai Baba. Fascinated by the events in the life of Baba, which were, I thought, practical demonstrations of what I learned in Gita, I was instantly attracted to Baba as an iron dust to a gigantic magnet.

 Baba inspired and guided me to get enlightened.

Ink-N-Iron 2015: The Great Art Show Returns June 12, 13, 14 in Long Beach, CA | In the Land of Cash & Elvis August 7, 8, 9 in Nashville, TN

People are here for the love of Hot Rods-Kustoms, live music, burlesque, art shows, 50’s fashion, and of course the tattoo show covering three floors inside the ship. Over 200 of the best tattoo artists in the world will be on hand from over 30 States and 25 Countries representing all the tattoo styles; where a car show and music become an integral part of the event, mingling with the artistic expressions of the artists at work. Pinups clad in corsets, Classic Cats with Pompadours, Mohawks, fashion Mullets, full sleeves and back pieces. Not only is the breathtaking view of the gigantic Queen Mary, the beautiful water, and the amazing Long Beach skyline quite a task to take in all at once, but all the fashion statements and lavishly adorned people are quite a spectacle as well.

With the success of the 2003 Long Beach Tattoo Convention - the second to be held aboard the Queen Mary - it propelled Long Beach to a central position in the tattoo world. 

The 60,000 visitors that have come aboard the Queen Mary since then, sends a very clear message on the extent of the event which will be even better and more enthralling this year. It couldn't be otherwise, considering that Long Beach was the tattoo cultural engine of the West Coast, the center around which technique and trends evolved. 

Long Beach was the home of Bert Grimms World Famous Tattoo, the longest operating tattoo shop in America 1927-2003. From this tiny shop on the Nu Pike in Long Beach Bert Grimm fostered a culture that influenced today's godfathers of the American Tattoo industry; names like Ed Hardy, Bob Roberts, Lyle Tuttle, Col. Todd, Bob Shaw, and Phil Simms to name a few. Bert Grimms was a place where, if you knew the right guy you could obtain the most sacred of tools; the tattoo machine, these pieces of equipment where not available to just anyone.

In marrying the city's tattoo history with a 1930's luxury ship the Queen Mary, with her WWII service history, there couldn't be a more perfect setting to perform this sacred art form. The idea of organizing a tattoo convention in Long Beach stems from the desire to pay a tribute to the great tattoo art tradition. This tradition contributed to spread this art all over the world, pulling it out of the Middle Ages.
