Accordo talk to 24 string: in Italian: http://www.accordo.it/articles/2009/03/22237/strings-24-tutto-inizio-per-gioco.html

"I do not want to bore you from the foundation of the world, but I think it is important to talk about how the project has begun to make the idea of the reasons that make us proud of this achievement ...

At high school, Frank [Caruso] and I attended the technical institute and our meeting avenne through a concert done in the main hall of the mythical ITIS Bernocchi of Legnano. It was the year 1985 ... Frank, then seventeen, I began playing on his knees, between the different songs, two song from Album for Perfect Stranger Deep Purple, that the time had just come out! Cacchio, Frank already cracked at the ugly, had the style of Blackmore in the veins!



After that event we started out in the company together, sharing the tremendous movement guitar accompanying those years ...

Close to 20 years each made their own way, study, work, family, etc. ...

In the meantime I tried to round off my income by giving some guitar lessons ...

One day I called a very strong boy away and asked me to come to lessons to learn from me all the secrets of my style ... And so I found myself in front of a very young Gianluca Ferro ...

after about ten minutes I asked him what reason had come to lecture to me, because his technique was already amazing! After having explained in two or three meetings the foundations of my style, we lost sight of, meeting only rarely during concerts and various musical events, in the meantime he became a bishop of the great prog metal, military band in as Arkhé, Doomsword and Time Machine ...

Move now in November 2006 ...
Thanks to the mythical MySpace, one day I received an email from Frank Caruso who asked me news about my last 15 years and I explained a little 'what he had done in the meantime! What joy!

We decided to see us one evening for a drink, as we discovered to live in the same city! A truly exciting meeting! 15 years of events, experiences, joys and sufferings, are you a different person, and it's great to be able to compare with those who have had many experiences, some similar, others completely different. In short, it was as if 20 years ago at a crossroads had chosen two different paths, and that day we had put itself back on track!

I had a lot of ground with my live band, the UTEZ, Excommunication, Four Tiles, in addition to working as much as demonstrator around Italy, he had made 5 albums with his band Arachnes, he was fresh as a soloist and was going out with the gothic darklight and the sixth Arachnes! In addition in all those years had made many songs for commercials and soundtracks for Mediaset.

Given that 80% of the things were made by both the music and left us with the phrase "why do not we do a suonatina one day?" From there we began to exchange the discs made in all those years, beginning to caress' s idea of doing something together, just to seal this unexpected meeting and much appreciated!

Speaking of the project, began to tickle the idea of involving third guitarist style completely different from our in order to create different and interesting sounds ...
The first name that I was to sovvenne Gianluca, a man with whom Frank had had contact via email.

So we began to meet, to exchange ideas first registered, thus initiating the creation of our music! The following period was represented by an intense traffic of CDs with sub-projects that were imported into software for the registration of each of us to be updated with their guitar tracks. Simultaneously came the curiosity to experiment with the use of 8-strings and, thanks to huge support from Ibanez, started to use this guitar for our compositions.

In the final stage of creating the song we could make use of the drums by Roberto Gualdi on any CD, in addition to low Gabriele and Lorenzo Baroni Feliciati el'hammond Alessandro Del Vecchio.

The mix was done by me and Frank in his Phantom Studio, while mastering Frank has worked in concert with Luca Pilla, director of the magazine Computer Music & Project Studio.

To give us an injection of positivity and pride has thought Lion Music with his interest in Strings 24, and the contract has been offered a definitive meaning to the sentence of three years before "not because we are a suonatina one day?" It was ... suonatina by the parties before a birretta ... and it was a disc that, while being a generally well put in its niche, is distributed all over the world!

For this reason, the output of the CD Strings 24 has a meaning for us still tied to the passion, the desire to share our music and try to achieve the best possible way!
Also why I wanted to tell this story about agreement, because here also the engine that moves everything is always above all the passion, the desire to listen to the guitar, guitar talk, emotions with the guitar ... "
