SETTE AFK – Talking about “I/O SIDE” Album

I/O SIDE is born from a deep self-analysis and the necessity to have fun.

A therapeuthic process that aims at moving my priorities, like a tetris game, to create space that can be filled by pure and simple auto enjoyment: finding the spot betweek two clock needles to do something that you like.

Doing something by and for myself only was a need growing daily. I needed to stay away from every social dynamic connected to music even if it has no negative effect on my life. I wanted to have nothing to do for some time with studying, teaching, producing and every other aspectec that can relate to US instead of ME.

I am a Musical Schizophrenic since a long time ago. I had been roaming around with bands processing music genres ranging from metal, classic guitar, reggae, jazz to genres that i can’t even give a name to. I brought this melting-pot in these songs: a twist of everything that i wanted to hear, something by and for myself only.

I even tried to do something mainstream, but trap is not something I want to handle right now. So I became a Punk in a Suit that listen to Nofx, while being badly seen from “cool” people because I support Dvorak.

The album gives what I want to receive: a powerful emotional push stuffed with little nostalgic candies.

Even if I live my life in a precarious balance between Irony and Cynicism, I avoided the “Life is shit, yo bro I live in the street” slipstream that saturate the text of lot of contemporary songs.

W8 “Life is in color”......

 You will find these words a step further in the album, but they contain the meaning of my work.

 What I want you to hear right now is “Hello World 1964”: this is the easies track. It seeps my nerdy side, indeed it has been written on my laptop in an E-Sport Bar. I started the composition just as a relaxing activity. Then I understood how good this was to me when I heard it growing in the studio. Something written while having fun with friends (and some drinks too) sounded so good and satysfing.

This is why I decided to use this track as my opening: like an old computer in 1964 writing his first words, I say “Hello World”.

 It is “thanks” to this computer if everyone of us holds a smartphone in his pocket, regardless of how we use it. Technology is neutral afterall, like a chair: it stays there and its up to us to use it to sit or to break our neighbour head.

 So please don’t use the technology to listen to °Hello World 1964” from the smartphone speaker while sitting on a public transport. If this track is good, you would ruin it. It it is bad, you would ruin other people’s day. Get your headphones or you hi-fi, turn the volume up and allow me to introduce myself. My Work. My Needs.
