In Soundserif he appears on stage as a bass player, though he also recorded guitars and keyboards for both the EP and the full length CDs.
Andrea Petitta - singer and guitarist, he has been playing with the italian Pink Floyd tribute band "Echoes" since 1995.

Luisa Ferrari – singer and guitarist, since 2005 she's involved, together with Fabrizio Serrecchia, in an acoustic project covering mostly Steely Dans songs. In soundserif she plays second guitar and voice. She's also author of some of the lyrics – the others being the result of the precious contribution of the musician and lyricist Diego Maugeri.
Valentino Valente – drums. An acknowledged polystrumentist and composer, he collaborates with many Italian and foreign artists. He's a member of the Italian Queen tribute band "Innuendo", which is recently becoming famous playing across Europe.
Daniele Arcolin – keyboards. An excellent piano player – as a result of his jazz training – and latest newcomer of the band, he performed as a valuable keyboard player over the years. Together with Valentino, Fabrizio and Andrea he's been a member of the Italian Paul McCartney tribute band "Band on the Run".
Francesco Chinatti – drums. Francesco "Frank" Chinatti joined the band in the beginning of 2009 as a live performer, and he immediately gained great consent from both the band and the public. A versatile musicians, he is also a member of The Smilers (Ska / Reggae) and Andrea Del Monte & The Hat Band (italian pop music).
Influences
Beatles, XTC, Beach Boys, Squeeze, James Taylor, Crowded house, Jellyfish and more...
Soundserif is a band born along with their first album ("12 pieces in the shape of an apple") project. It is a group of musicians strongly influenced by each other's musical backgrounds –– which are just too various and complex to be reported here. Some of the most important are the Beatles (whose White Album is often referred to as "the Bible"), XTC, Steely Dan, Beach boys, Squeeze, Jellyfish and, more generally, english and american pop and powerpop.
On march 2009 they released the EP Pieces, which anticipated 5 of the 12 tracks by which their first album (out in december 2009) is composed. One of the tracks, "Laptops", features as a special guest NYC guitarist Vinnie Zummo - who has been playing over the years together with artists like Joe Jackson, Art Garfunkel and Roger Daltrey.
Since then, Soundserif's tracks have been played on radios and webradios; the song "Happy since I resigned" has been selected in the IPO 2009 compilation; the band also had the great honour to play in a gig at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, on april 2009.
"...indietro, al tempo dei dinosauri...in cui il sintetizzatore analogico era l'unico mezzo x fare musica...": queste pressappoco sono state le parole di Enrico Cosimi a introduzione della sua performance! Bellissimo.
....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our second official LP release...
"Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far…
It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these influences so fully, and arrived at a mature style as David has…
This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic!
"Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)
Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
