about

Inspired by the Rolling Stones' “Their Satanic Majesties Request”, the Beatles' “Revolver”, and Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd, “Don't shoot the piano player (it's all in your head)” is a psychedelic rock song about hallucinations and dissociative disorders. Full of alienating sounds inspired by the song “Mangiafuoco” by Edoardo Bennato and “Tomorrow Never Knows” by the Beatles, “Don't shoot the piano player (it's all in your head)” features a “3D” ebow in binaural that can be better appreciated through listening with headphones.

lyrics

Hanging in my thoughts my body’s static, I don’t make no move at all
Laying on my bed I see my shadow dancing but I still don’t move

Don’t shoot the piano player, don’t try to stop him now
he’s just a poor man trying to get some tunes
Don’t shoot the piano player, don’t waste the talent he’s got
he’s just playing but where’s the piano?

I wanna leave, now, or maybe just stand here with my eyes fixed on the wall
I can’t complaint ‘bout my brain that is trying to escape from my so fucked up world

Don’t shoot the piano player, don’t even try to make some noise
I want to listen to his world
Don’t shoot the piano player, don’t you see how he’s good?
He can play even without piano

SOLO is a project that ranges between genres: psychedelic music and grunge coexists with indie pop, art rock, shoegaze, electronic music, marching bands, musique concrète.

The leitmotiv across the songs is experimentation (especially on sounds, thanks to a massive use of effects) and by intolerance towards the society in which we live today. ... more
