I can never be enough thankful to all the musicians who work with me and to the I.A.P. Staff.
Without their help, I would not be here. My husband, the whole I.A.P. Staff, Laetitia, Elena, Ivan Flospergher, Tury. Also great artists I have been involved such as Luigi Mennella and his stunning project En Velours Noir, and in the past Progetto Invisibile with Gianni Podda & Princefaster, Pilgrim, Eanigmae, the Poliphonic Choir of S. Alfonso in Rome, and probably more names I will remember and add later...
Thanks to the cooperation of those friends, I have currently 6 albums produced plus additional albums in cooperation with various artists, been playing in hundreds of gigs inside and outside Europe, being reviewed by the best international magazines and books, featured in Tv shows, being broadcasted in radios in almost any country.
Currently I am looking for musicians or already formed band (over 18 please, open minded, no racist, no anti-animal, available to travel), to update the Ajanuary Field line up. Preferred areas London / Wiltshire, surrounding... I don't have problems with travelling as long as there's the right alchemy. if interested, drop me a message. cheers
Collaborations are also welcome, but please don't ask for money... it has happened and it's tremendously ridiculous... I am quite happy to give my contribution for free to help charities but if you're trying to make a profit, don't "bank" on me cheers.
Influences
I had many, and the most interesting thing is that I had the pleasure to explore nearly any music genre. My preference remains experimental, tribal, post punk, goth, electronic, prog metal, opera... mmmmmm
I am a rossinian soprano with multioctave extension and I am completely mad, and I go mad for artists such as David Gilmour, Roger Waters (yep, both them, can you believe that?) Syd Barrett, Bowie, you name them!
Anybody who knows my Blooding Mask & Ajanuary Field, my current projects, know that I am not directely influenced by someone in particular. I grew up with classic music, especially because I used to be a ballet dancer. I "digested" the great prog rock 70s bands.
My favourite rosary of bands who helped me to grow up were the Pink Floyd, the Cure, Bauhaus, Echo & The Bunnymen, Killing Joke, The Mission, Siouxie & the Banshees, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, The Smiths, Adam & the Ants, Joy Division.
I am actually still heavily addicted to Pink Floyd & David Gilmour & Roger Waters since I was 6 y.o.... this has been diagnosed as incurable, so I will have to meet them sometimes because their music is my favourite virus (along with sex and my dogs cheeks)...
I will always be grateful to them for helping me to grow up, to think... to find my path.
Currently I have to say my preferences also go for NIN, Perfect Circle, Massive Attack too and some more artists...
Sounds Like
Well, it sounds like I am a songwriter and when I am composing I completely isolate myself from the rest of the world, which is why my music is not very much comparable to others.
I am remotely inspired by huge artists such as Pink Floyd which I ADORE but I wouldn't even dare trying to copy them :)
My voice has been compared to many singers such as Mina, Diamanda Galas, Nina Hagen, Annie Lennox, Siouxie, recently to Kate Bush, well... the fact that the they have got nothing to do with each other says alot! I LOVE all them... they're brilliant... but anybody with clean ears would not mistake me with them and them with me ;)

I am not really a model, I just play with the camera, I am very tiny, I buy my slippers in children shops. I like posing for good causes like posters to support animal rights. But if you like pocket size non models and you wish me to pose for your works or especially to help as a testimonial for charitable causes, please feel free to make your offer :).
I featured in the short movie "Mandragora E" and I am currently in the making of the video "The cell" for Blooding Mask.
If you have business proposals of any sort, or if you need my help with charity initiatives, please get in touch with iap-arts.com. Cheers.
Well... by the time my own website is my own planet, myspace's page is some sort of nice webship ;)
You're welcome on board, but fasten your seat belts because I like to fly high ;)
I will post here some new ideas, some music covers, some jokes I have in mind... whether it concerns Blooding Mask, Ajanuary Field, any music or literature or arts publishing with I.A.P... it's myspace isn't it? LOL
However, they my bands have their own websites and myspace webships which I invite you to visit anytime you wish, along with my friend's pages because they're AMAZING!
"Sweet Memories", "Lucylla" and "The Cell" come from Blooding Mask's "the 5 Monsters" 4th and new album. We are in the making of the video for "The Cell" currently.
Today comes from Ajanuary Field's first album "Perverse Spring" and it's an industrial experiment.
"Povera Italia" is a shameless pisstake of the anthem of an Italian political party. I don't do politics at all but that specific track really inspired me this rip off :)))))
I welcome new friends: pagans, artists, especially musicians who like to experiment new sounds, aliens, people who feel somehow connected to the Ancient Egyptian civilization like I do, people who also reasonably fight to protect animal rights (against vivisection, starvation, abuses, furs etc.), who possibly buy organic food and products which have not been tested on animals and who realize that this planet is not a carpet but a living being who owns all of us. "The Earth is not ours... but We belong to the Earth". If you don't respect animals please don't get in touch with me.
Now thanks to my Pink Floyd addiction and to my "sweet temper", I got recently nicknamed "Eugene"... Watch this HUGE vid in case you lived on Mars and never saw it before...
I can see people's aura, I can feel when something's wrong. If my honesty might offend you, then please don't contact me.
Now this probably sounds mad to you, but may I remind you that the difference between MAD and ECCENTRIC lays in your bank account? This means that if you are poor and uncommon, then you must be mad. if you are rich and uncommon, then you are just... eccentric. Well, I am not poor and I am not rich... and I would give Mr Trismegisto a bit of a headache I guess ;)
