Hi,

I uploaded my brand new song, "An Open Letter", a 9:37 minutes-long track which I hope will appeal to those who love progressive, new wave, jazz, art-rock, gothic and classical music, since it contains elements from all these musical genres and even some reggae-like passages and little oriental and almost ambient touches...

Main influences:

Japan/David Sylvian/Mick Karn/Dolphin Brothers/Nine Horses, Talk Talk, Bamboo Industry/Rain On Bamboo, Duran Duran/Arcadia, Alphaville, Furniture, The Associates/Billy Mackenzie, Camel, Eyeless In Gaza, Shriekback, The Cure, The Stranglers, It's Immaterial, Blue Nile, Scott Walker, Metro/Duncan Browne, John Foxx, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Ippu Do/Masami Tsuchiya, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Winston Tong, Eberhard Weber, Percy Jones, David Torn, Erik Satie, Wim Mertens, Devil Doll, Gazpacho, Ken's Novel, Arrakeen, Riverside, Sad Lovers And Giants, And Also The Trees, B-Movie, Jeanette Dwyer, Marcie's Still Waiting, Bark Psychosis, DeFilm, White Town, Muse, Blezqi Zatsaz...and many more!

Hope you enjoy it, let me know!

cheers from Rome
