Best italian band ever

Si può vincere una guerra in due
e forse anche da solo

Si può estrarre il cuore anche al più nero assassino
ma è più difficile cambiare un'idea

Il mio sogno è un taglio netto a tutto
e voglio che sia più reale

Potrei stare ore ed ore a parlare al silenzio
ma è più difficile cambiare un'idea

I used to listen to Litfiba at secondary school. Discovered this song - "Apapaia" - during a travel to Prague; an instant love that changed me forever.

This song is one of their highest peaks, and activates some neural connection that brings me backward to those days, reactivating sleeping feelings and stimulating forgotten sensations.

The lyrics change meaning depending on my own state: in my chaotic life, in which also no action could cause terrific conseguences, this songs mutates message too suddenly.

Right now it sounds like an hint,
a suggestion,
or maybe a prayer.

Studio power gloving!

This is a short footage of my band Simmetry jamming on a space-rock theme, letting me improvise with the power glove!

It's our first attempt in composing something around the new instrument; not so simple to handle, difficult to keep in tune and complex to use due to the slight delay.

Maybe some further effect will give him an additional gear. Cool and scenographic, anyway!

MIDI Power glove, toward live performance

Introduced distortion and location-controlled bandpass filters. It's really more alienish now. There's a little jitter I can't explain - gotta remove it.

My excuses for the overall quality of the video, but SBlive's converters are really poor: I used to route the signal into the M-delta, but this time I had to capture on the shitty one.

Last week I tried the glove in studio with my band, and the results are promising. I do think it needs only two more refinements: a better bounds detection routine and some kind of instant silencer gesture. :)

Sometimes... they come back!

We meet again, powerglove!!

I turned it microtonal, lowered MIDI latency through a better sound card, introduced modulation and exponential volume control. It's starting to kick some serious ass!!
