IL GIORNO DELLA MARMOTTA
Faccio musica con risultati più o meno mediocri dal 1992. Le ultime band di cui ho fatto parte sono Joule e Kermit. Da qualche tempo mi sono avvicinato a tecniche di audio editing, registrazione e produzione, allo scopo di realizzare progetti interamente solisti. Sotto lo pseudonimo di “The T.N.T.” (acronimo che sta per “The town near Turin”: la cittadina vicino a Torino è Moncalieri, il mio cognome) ho realizzato finora un EP di quattro tracce e due album.
Il primo album, “Fog Expectations” (2008), contiene cinque cover e tre brani inediti, realizzati abbinando campionamenti e strumenti virtuali con chitarre elettriche e voci. Le cover sono “Down in the desert” (Thin white rope), “Monkey” (Low), “Flower web” (Screaming trees), “Can’t find my way home” (Blind faith, rivisitata negli anni ottanta dagli Swans) e “I feel you” (Depeche mode).
Il secondo album, di cui ho appena terminato i missaggi, si intitola “Groundhog’s Day” (il Giorno della Marmotta, quello in cui continuava a svegliarsi Bill Murray nel film “Ricomincio da capo”). Contiene quattro cover e quattro brani inediti, realizzati utilizzando chitarre prevalentemente acustiche oltre ad elettronica e campionamenti. Le cover sono versioni acustiche di “Ice cold ice” (Husker du), “Negative creep” (Nirvana), “Wave of mutilation” (Pixies) e “In the meantime” (Helmet).
GROUNDHOG'S DAYI make music with quite mediocre results since 1992. Joule and Kermit are the last bands I played with. Recently I started to train with audio editing, recording and production, in order to create full solo projects. With the pseudonym “The T.N.T.” (acronym of “The town near Turin”, which is Moncalieri, my family name) I released a four track EP and two full length albums.
The first album, Fog Expectations (2008), contains five covers and three previously unreleased tracks, combining samples and virtual instruments with electric guitars and voices. The covers are “Down in the desert” (Thin white rope), “Monkey” (Low), “Flower web” (Screaming trees), “Can’t find my way home” (Blind faith, also covered in the eighties by the Swans) and “I feel you” (Depeche mode).
The second album, Groundhog’s day (the day Bill Murray was waking up over and over again in a movie) is now ready. It contains four covers and four previously unreleased tracks, most of them played with acoustic guitars, electronics and samples. The covers are acoustic versions of “Ice cold ice” (Husker du), “Negative creep” (Nirvana), “Wave of mutilation” (Pixies) and “In the meantime” (Helmet).

I am you; you are ME. You are the waves; I am the ocean. Know this and be free, be divine (Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment (Henry David Thoreau)
You have come from God, you are a spark of His Glory; you are a wave of that Ocean of Bliss; you will get peace only when you again merge in Him (Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
The secret of success is to be in harmony with existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore (Cyrill Connolly)
The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave (Thomas Jefferson)
Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one (Andre Gide)
There’s no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves (Frank Herbert)
