INSTRUMENTS & SOUND DIMENSION

AENEIDOS METALLI APOTHEOSIS PARS I

THE DISTANCE IN TIME OF NARRATED EVENTS, CAUSES THAT THE SOUND CAPTURE COULD NOT HAPPEN IN COMMON PLACES, AND THE EFFECT OF IT COULD NOT LAY IN REALITY OR TODAY'S PLANE; SO THE SOUND WAS TAKEN AND ELABORATED COMPLETELY IN AN ANALOGIC RECORDER, IN 3 DIFFERENT GROTTOS IN THE EAST SHORES OF HESPERIA (CENTER ORIENTAL ITALIC LANDS), TO REACH A DIMENSION FAR AWAY FROM THE CONCRET AND FROM THE LISTENERS REALITY, CREATING A TRANSCENDENT AND SURREAL ATMOSPHERE, SIMILAR TO THE MIST OF THE CENTURIES THAT ENTWINE THE EVENTS, ALSO AMALGAMATED TO THE PARTS OF THE OLD MOVIES CONTAINED..

THERE ARE NO GUITARS & NO KEYBOARDS IN "AENEIDOS......PART I" BUT ONLY BASSES (FROM 4 TO 8), BASS EFFECTS, AND OCTAVED BASS CREATING A SOUND , AMBIENT, COMPLEX, SOLEMN, EPICAL, BUT AT THE SAME TIME HEAVY, ROUGH, RAW, SCREECHING, RATTLING

DRUMS & PERCUSSION TRY TO RESPECT AND FAVOR THE AMBIENT SIDE, SO THEY LAY IN A DISTANT PLAIN, PRIVILEGING THE EFFECT OF THE ARROGANT BASSES.

THE VOCALS INTERPRETED THE NARRATOR AND ALL THE CHARACTERS (GODS AND MORTALS OF THE GREEK-ROMAN MYTHOLOGY), SO THE TONE AND THE TIMBRE CHANGE IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.

IN THE FUTURE THE CHOICE OF INSTRUMENTS WILL CHANGE FOR EVERY VOLUME OR PART OF HESPERIA IN ACCORD TO THE SENSATION TO GIVE ALSO BETWEEN TYRIAE TURRES AND ILIAE MEMORIAE THE PLACES WAS CHANGED (MORE NARROW AND CLAUSTROPHOBIC FOR THE SECOND, THAT SPEAK ABOUT WAR), AND THE SOUNDS (MORE RATTLING FOR THE SECOND AND MORE AMBIENT FOR THE FIRST, WHERE DOMINATE NATURAL ELEMENTS).

IL RITORNO DI UNA CIVILTA' ARCAICA

THIS IS A APARENTESIS IN "HESPERIA STYLISTIC RESEARCH" .

BASS WAS VERY DISTORTED AND VERY EFFECTED, AND THERE ARE ALSO MANY AMBIENT EFFECT TO CREATE THE ENVIROMENT OF THE SIBILLIANT MOUNTS PALCES.

SPIRITVS ITALICVS- METALLVM ITALICVM & CAESAR

In these three album there are orchestra parts, keys or synth guitars, but guitars remain more important. Starting with Metallvm Italicvm there was a change of direction towards identitarian rock and epic italic metal reaching (with Caesar) the creation of a rock metal opera. With the forthcoming Roma vol. II album there will be a return to black metal (mantaining the orchestra soundtrack parts).
