Patch Of Itchy Pimples

Interview Gardens Miro

"We publish a disc only when you really believe our geological era has arrived, a moment that marks a real difference. We are not musicians by profession and we outside of the dynamic record. " If there really is a matter of Giardini di Miro is worth emphasizing that this is what we deduce from the words of Conrad Nuccini, singer and guitarist of the band that will be in concert next Friday at Villa Siotto to Sarroch Sarroch in the Summer Groove Vox Day organized by musical attitude that led them to retain artistic restlessness and the ability to reinvent itself - but without force - in nearly fifteen years of his career and in the midst of four official records, several ep, collaborations and outputs side. Born in 1995 in Cavriago, a center of Emilia Romagna eleven thousand souls who gave birth also to Offlaga Disco Pax (and Orietta Berti) and where it was rumored that Lenin was honorary mayor of the town, the Gardens have been since the Miro time of their first self-produced EP (dated 1998) one of the most original names in the receipt of post-rock sound in Italy, quickly becoming the most important interpreters but without becoming prisoners of those who later became the style of the genre. For example, in 2007 they released a record, Dividing Opinions, which could channel their style in a more square, linked to the song form and the use of voice, incorporating also diindietronica shoegaze elements and in the meantime we had started to attend and to meditate in their sound. A record that seemed important to have marked the path more defined. But in 2009 he released The Fire (Unhip Records), which marked the return of the long instrumental band of the early years, but with a drier sound, balanced, dominated by a sense of proportion and rigorous style of almost extreme. The album was actually not even be an album. It was the soundtrack, commissioned by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin, a silent film of 1915, the fire of John Pastrone. "From an experience that was to be tied to a single concert at the end we realized that that was in effect our new record, "says Nuccini. "Creativity can take many initial sparks. Sometimes having a towel is not a limit but can be a map in which things move and develop with their own originality. " The band's approach to work was to communicate with the image without distorting it. "We thought if we had tried to make a dress that was fitting for the film, we would have lost the challenge from the start. We decided to use a dress that was to our own, perhaps with the risk of minor moments of harmony or philology with the film, but at least produce a result staff. And beyond singing or not to sing with this record we went back to a more nocturnal, dark and stripped that well represents our soul melodramatic. " At Sarroch Summer Groove, the band will offer the show tied to the fire, with the screening of the film and its soundtrack (opening night of the play De Grinpipol Sassari). In recent concerts, the band began to offer some new songs that should go to be part of the band's fifth album. "I certainly will not sound very optimistic and cheerful," says Nuccini. "Our records have a soul in a certain way and carry out our social perceptions of the reality around us. A reality that you are laddered, both politically and socially. My experience of 36 year-old musician does not make me see the world with optimism. But there is the will to continue to do our part, and it is every day stronger. "

recently came out in a network compilation, Other gardens, which contains some songs from the band's discography reinterpreted by many artists already known (His Clancyness, Banjo or Freakout, Comaneci, Bob Corn, Stefano Pilia) and other less Note the Italian music scene. "This disk was born a little 'game, as half a joke," says Corrado Nuccini. "I say half because in the end the result was very good and involving reality worthy of note that represent the best of today's music scene. We are always difficult to answer the question of how the Italian music scene. In the end, however, this compilation has already been answered. " One of the characteristics of the compilation, which demonstrate a little 'the role of musical reference of the Gardens through their website that they have specifically asked for unsigned bands, youth will be challenged in the realization of their cover in order to put the best compilation. And the response was very positive. "They came more than thirty covers, through the network, with a message on Facebook or Twitter," says Nuccini. "It was amazing see a response like that. And in the end there are four or five songs we have heard so, by bands who wanted to participate and gave us a cover sent through the channels of the web ". ( Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda )
