Musics: Il Magnetofono
Lyrics: Alan Bedin
Magnetofono wants to be a homage to both music and
voices. An attentive research for songs in italian in order
to realize a little Dada universe, a sort of microcosm
where the three musicians share the same passion since
2011 and cherish every moment of the over 170
concerts (and counting). Their goal is to add a visual
representation of different situations and emotions to
their music; this is the reason why the recording of this
new album was developed in direct drive with the active
participation of other musicians. The arrangement has been improved through real “noises” and sounds
which are part of the ambient that surrounds the band during the creation of both music and lyrics.
Therefore music attend upon lyrics and vice versa – on composition, arrangements up to the omnium
gatherum that create performances, plays and readings of artists like Pierpaolo Capovilla (Il Teatro degli
Orrori, One Dimensional Man, Majakovskij: Eresia), Freak Antoni (Skiantos, Ironikotemporaneo), Vincenzo
Vasi (Braccio elettrico, Vinicio Capossela, Mike Patton). The project integrates music with theatre, opening
a whole new world adapting the representation to various locations – from clubs to theatres and cultural
associations. The peak on representation comes from the participation of the “fourth element”, the
illustrator Osvaldo Casanova which realized the cover of the new CD and a painting for each track,
combining figurative art and music the way Magnetofono meant it
“This album wants to give back to the audience both the importance of italian songwriting and the magic
of live recording carefully avoiding the aid of massive digital post production, giving room to ambient,
musicians and real sounds as well. Words of love, insanity, happiness and sadness, irony, willing to change
through “revolution” toward the contemporary world. (…) Our first LP is realized in the most authentic
way, in order to value each note and word. This was in our DNA already, we just had to bring it to life”.
