TRAKS MAGAZINE #9

interview
concerned, it was initially intended to speak
of anger that is sometimes referred to some
social categories like immigrants, gays, or
other minorities. We wanted to talk about
the feeling of hateful and unjustifiable hatred
that sometimes arises and puts people against
other people in a perverse spiral. In the end,
because of the length of the first verse we only
talk about immigrants, but the conclusion
remained the same: the memory of the blood
tie that unites us and the attempt to understand
the reasons for the other.
The packaging of cd is articulated, including
a kind of goo playing in the inner booklet
... Who has invented everything?
Perhaps this was really the toughest part of
the project: packaging was a real teamwork, a
result of hours of comparison, where everyone
put their own idea, then inserted in the
final result except the cover, idea of ​Michela,

transition... permanent. We also add that the
songs have also been developed according
to the actual availability of instrumentation.
Now we’ve bought a mini synth and a drum
machine, we’ll see!
What were the biggest difficulties you encountered
in making your record, if any?
Recording was a long track of awareness of
songs, born and transformed in the reharsal
room, sometimes changed radically by studio
work. Probably this awareness was the toughest

do not deny that, being completely self-produced,
