Since we're all close to the end of 2020 I'd like to spend some words about my experience this year.
It was a weird and disappointing year in a way... But..
On the other hand I had the chance to plant some seeds for the next couple of years ahead as well as taking a break from touring and being able to spend more time with my family, so it was a positive year as well in a way.
Hey Folks, I've just got back from Mattias IA Eklundh,
"Freak Guitar Camp 2020", after an amazing week of "intensive guitar work out".
For the 3rd time so far I had the chance to sit on the "Guru Chair" for a brief clinic in collaboration with 2 of my sponsors/endorsements, Hotone Audio & Mercuriall Audio Software.
Here is the performance of my brand new song "Euphoria".
A big thank you to Mattias and all the campers; special thanks to my buddy Santtu Lehtiniemi for filming the performance.
I am doing a series of Live Streaming on Facebook & Youtube, you can check them at this link.
Next week the debut album of the Dimitry & Laurent project (8 String Guitar VS. 3D printed Electric Violin) will be released on the main music digital distribution platforms.
Here's the full video of the live album: "Live in Norway", shot & recorded during our Norway Tour in the Autumn of 2019.
The album can be currently downloaded exclusively as a premiere on BandCamp at this link:
More original music to come for this amazing project.
I have 2 new singles out as a "solo artist".
The titles are Divergence & Euphoria.
You can check them out here at this Spotify playlist which features some of the 2020 releases.
Dammercide's new album "The Seed" in which I played guitar is doing great and the band licensed the album for physical distribution to Punishment 18 records from Italy.
The disk will be distributed by Goodfellas distribution from September 25th.
I am gearing up for the annual Freak Guitar Camp in Sweden hosted by the one and only Mattias Eklundh. I'll be performing this year as well in collaboration with Hotone Audio & Mercuriall Audio.
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!
