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? 🙂🤟🎸

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".
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.
