For all the journeys at the end of the night
For all the journeys to the center of the heart
If you believe wallpapers in motel rooms are secret maps
For sharing a dream together before the light tilts out
For All the love letters sent at the wrong time
For All the love letters sent at the right time
For All the love letters arrived when it's too late
For all the trapeze artists
For all the waitress or waiters that we secretely adore
And All the guys with twitches
All the beat and broken bones
And all the cabarets in europe or at least the smell of it
For all the girls in pantyhose
For the head of my father
Because Chet Baker played better with no teeth
And Celine made big mistakes but wrote about life like no one
And so did Bukowski while hearing a termite with a banjo
Because when Freud and Jung were in the same room they say you could see things flying
If you believe all the rusts glitters in time
If you feel alive when you see your soulmate smiling or
If your lovers sometimes have been sunday drivers of your heart
If you believe sooner or later the devil will sell all the souls he owns back because he finds them boring
If you buy things from her past
If you wish you had a time travelling machine chance so you could see her as a child
If you think a skeleton can hide a closet
If you are wise most of the times only when you sleep
Because nothing is really under control
For all this and more.. then Marti could be for you
Marti is the brain child of songwriter and actor Andrea Bruschi.
Their debut album 'Unmade Beds' is a 12 song affair.
The songs were composed in Andrea's bedroom where he keeps his Fender Rhodes.
The album has been artistically produced by italian songwriter/producer Paolo Benvegnu' and Andrea Franchi for Swiss company Wildside Media and Italian Greenfog Records.
European music, New wave, 80's technopop, cabaret, musicals and torch songs artists are the main influences.
The line up fuses a small orchestra and a more regular rock band formula
The first video " Buying Things From Your Past" is directed by Lorenzo Vignolo and is shot on location in Andrea's favourite bus stop in the world and city lift in his hometown Genova. the second video "September in the Rain" is a tribute to Le Samourai a splendid movie made by Jean Pier Melville in the 60's.
the album will have a european release in 2008

Thanks for the friendship.. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
