Finally Out On YouTube the video of my recording at the East West Recording Studios in L.A. for the super talented "Ingrid".
In fact, last year I had the infinite pleasure and the huge honor to be asked to give my musical contribution to her first album.
It was in extremely fullfilling and in a good way a bit overwhelming to share this work with world class musicians as Gregg and Matt Bissonette (Joe Satriani, Vasco Rossi, Ringo Starr, etc.), Rhonda Smith (Prince), Tony Laureta (Elton John) and Tariqh Akoni.
In this video I am playing the song "Say Goodbye", included in Ingrid's brand new EP "Walking that Fine Line".
I am currently on a retreet on the Italian Alps, a bit isolated in order to write a new album.
Here is a taste of a new song (demo) I worked on in the last couple of days.
I am limited in terms of gear so I am using an old axe of mine into my laptop with Cubase 5, Halion 1 and GR5 and an old GoPro camera. Not bad as a result, isn't it? 🙂🤟🎸
After months on the road supporting The Revolution of Evolution, with shows across Asia, the US, and Europe, we are now closing the first part of the tour with a final date in Belgium at Six K Fest alongside amazing bands and musicians.
The response to the album has been absolutely overwhelming in the best possible way. Fans and critics embraced The Revolution of Evolution far beyond my expectations, and seeing all the support has been incredibly rewarding after all the hard work.
The video for Undercurrent also surpassed 50,000 views—an unexpected milestone for a niche artist like me while my Spotify numbers finally reached the level I always hoped for.
A huge thank you to the musicians who joined me on this tour: Laurent Bernadac, Yohan Delasalle, Cello Azul, Eric Nalin, and Alessandro Cacace.
Now, it's time to slow down a bit on live gigs and focus on writing the next chapter of my prog metal journey: album number seven in my solo discography.
On the Inspiria Guitars side, we continue to grow with updated guitar models, the LP4 2.0, a new five-string bass, and fresh string packs. Check them out at InspiriaGuitars.com.
I'll also release upgraded versions of SL8: a studio edition and a live edition from the Alexandrian Metal Assault in Italy last May.
Thank you all for your support. Stay tuned for more music, gear, and updates, and follow me on social media for regular content!
