itinerant orchestra canned
Luca Atzori
the summer of 2008 he returned to light a project that since 2001 it moved through the streets of Turin underground made of songwriters, musicians, artists, united as a thin unusual and congeniality.
Stefano Amen (formerly known as singer-songwriter), with the arrival of Alberto Moretti turned his project in a duo (finding a balance in both compositional performative).
The sound somewhere between rock and roll and electronic music can be recognized already in the promo only in 2001 that opens with an intro to their song (Yellow), which is immediately captured by the simplicity of the song form, mixed with sonic the new millennium.
In the same disk several readjustments to songs by Syd Barrett (Opel, Late night, haunt gigolo, vegetable man).
Penguin is a project that aims to go beyond the individual figures of musicians, acting as a form of impersonal music event.
's interest is to communicate a' first artistic intention that image (which is now increasingly rare).
Two individuals that managed to merge and communicate their taste, rather than simply paying attention to themselves, have managed to create a new understanding of popular music, making it the most current available.
What we are going to define here as "folk music" will never cease to exist, but will continue to transform, change language. Can only wear clothes which will be part of the time, and so continue to be, as long as there is life.
Penguin is one example.
shown below an 'interview I've got to do with Stefano and Alberto.
What is Penguin?
Stephen: It 's a project that aims to make contemporary music a certain way of using the song sounds more modern.
We define it as a marriage between rock music and electronics?
Alberto: I would describe as a musical syncretism. It is a way of seeing things that actually existed for thirty or forty years, just remember the Suicide Soft Cell, or even the Beatles
Stephen: Our interest is to clear the so-called classical music and to make possible a partnership with music entertainment. We would like to make music that appeals to females.
How did this collaboration?
Alberto: In a natural way, thanks to Simon Sandretti (who is a director and performer in Turin).
Stefano, Alberto has seen my show, we chatted a bit, 'I already knew it was electronic music, so we mixed up the things that I had produced with her and I was born duo Penguin.
I know that Penguin uses different forms of expression ....
Alberto: Yes, We intend to use other forms of transmission, such as Video. We also use a few more tools. We try to convey, at a conceptual level, the sense of repetition. Like in the movies where the assembly takes place. Our songs are film songs. It 's always preprodotta.
Stefano: Contemporary music often neglects the vocal aspect.
Alberto: For us the important thing is to communicate, you do not need too many tools. We do not have the battery, for example. Abroad, such things are often seen.
Stephen: Indeed I would like to make a clarification to see controversy than the typical Italian way. We would like to get out from simple aesthetic categories techniques.
Alberto
: ours is a 'walking in the orchestra box.
Stephen: But I say that these are reasons we do afterwards. We are only interested in making people dance, involving them on an emotional level.
I know that you made a video ...
Alberto: We have a self-produced video, yes. The song is called Yellow (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiihj2Ob9Sc). In this video we wanted to bring attention to the project, and do a fashion show.
Why did you choose to sing in English?
Alberto: first, because it's fun. We decided to pull out all our intellectual influences without mediation. We always listened and sang English music. After the rock and roll, popular music is sung only in dialect, but also English.
Stefano: the 'English has replaced the drawl when we were kids when they want to sing sghen. we use the lines exactly as they were using primitive immediately after the pace of a shot beaten repeatedly (and then a rhythm, then the dance) is expressed in verse. We want to make electric pop music though. We want to be realistic. We also have stories to tell and concepts.
As you can see your image as a man on stage?
Stefano: We concealed ourselves. We are not truthful. We use "masks". In this we are inspired by Bowie. Not we tell ourselves directly. It is central to our image.
You are active from a live point of view? And how do you move?
Alberto: We are currently self-managed. We use social networks to move in Italy. We played Italy in North, Central, Sardinia. The live element for us is overwhelming.
As you inspired?
Alberto: We're going to watch the sunset from the top floor of the parking levels of the shopping center in Grugliasco, eating olives at the bottom (but also below).
been registered?
Stephen: We're going to finish the recording of our record and evaluate the possibility of publishing it. How do you distinguish
You have two ways of looking at things and how to get married?
Stephen: I have more authorial attitude, write and do structure.
Alberto: I am writing to the nearest snapshot. The dichotomy favors the association. Stefano is lunar, elusive. I am direct sunlight and harsh. Equal but not interchangeable.
The name Penguin?
We decided to use an Italian name. We wanted to be ironic, and then it sounded good.
