Here is my report from "Freak Guitar Camp 2021", in Sweden, where I recently spent a whole week with some awesome guitar players and had the opportunity to perform for the 4th time in a row sharing "stage" with guitar heroes like Ola Englund, Per Nilsson, of course Mattias IA Eklundh and many others... The videos of the performance are coming soon...
Hey Peeps, today is a great day.. 🇮🇹🎊⚽️🎸🙂
This is a new video/guitar playthrough of a revisited version of a «classic» of mine titled «Immortal Portrait», I re-styled the song a bit, adding more orchestrations and making the production more modern and in line with my most recent works.. 😉
The studio mix will be available on the main streaming services asap (and maybe as a bonus track on the next forthcoming album, perhaps..)
About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date. Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4). The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.
The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.
First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
