Khaine: I got to enjoy a lot Unheimlich , your last solo album. Would you like to tell our readers why you chose this title, also in relation to the "weird" names that you gave to the songs? Among the many interpretations that are derived from the term "das Unheimliche", what would be the most appropriate to indicate the musical content of Unheimlich ?

Gianluca: My wife, Martha, recently was reading an essay by Freud, who own the copyright concerned on the concept of the uncanny in literature, "das Unheimliche" 's note. Specifically, Freud was referring to a feeling of strong evanescent extremely uncomfortable for the reader, or more generally the user of the work of art is to try in front of characters poised between the animate and inanimate world. Freud cited ETA Hoffman's tale, The Sandman, where Olympia is a pale girl who moves in jerks, and who soon proves to be an automaton. The idea of ​​the uncanny evanescent, however, is also linked to the figures of the doll, zombie, certain dolls and robots. I thought that was symbolically linked to the concept 'idea behind my record: an abstract vision of a frail and uncertain future in which positivism gives way to dark omens where technology plays an ambiguous role, threatening to deprive the men of Bow humanity.
