Interview:
DN:Talk about "Frenzy of Ecstasy" Where did you get the name and what is the inspiration behind the album. Does it have a special message?more
I didn't really have a particular inspiration when I’ve wrote this album, but I’ve had the idea in my head to create an album for some years. It was a lengthy process to find out the right tracks. I’m usually very fussy, because I think that this is the most important part of the work, I don’t like to put in useless pieces only to fill an empty time. I eliminate most of my pieces before I end them, because I think you can hear immediately if a piece has something nice to say or not. I think I have to express something and I think Steve Vai has noticed that too, otherwise he would not be interested in my work!“ Frenzy of Ecstasy” has jazz, nu-metal to high-romantic classical musical influences, which is evident in my guitar playing. Why I named it Frenzy of Ecstasy ? Good question... the name sounds nice to me. Maybe everyone can find a meaning to these two apparently opposed concepts !
DN:Talk a little about the musicians in your band. Who are they and tell us a little about them.
They are all young talented Italian musicians and session men. Riccardo Quagliato, drummer. He’s a great drummer and he was very important in giving the right direction to all pieces ! Federico Solazzo at keyboard. He gave to my songs an original jazzy touch, also during the most metal pieces ! Davide Antonio Pio is the youngest guy, he helped me with the electronic parts and during the arrangements of the album ! Bassist: Rony Aglietti, Luca Aspidistria, Mauro Catellani : they are pop session men. Even if mine isn’t a pop album, I preferred to have this kind of bass players, because they have much more control. Also Dario Ciccioni, who was in the Studio for another recording, played the drums on “Apocalypse Ape “.
