Here we go with my New Official Video: O Sole Mio (Goes Metal).
"O Sole Mio" is the well known Italian traditional song.
No, it's not a joke..
How did I come up with this idea?
I was explaining some "improvisation concepts" to some of my students and this melody came out, so... I was like: I need to produce and record a metal version of this track and here we are...
Many thanks to Strobe (video shoot & editing) who did an amazing job as usual, Eric Meyer @ the Noiz Faktory recording studio who mastered the track, Igor Dunderovic for playing accordion & of course all my sponsors, Hotone Audio, Randall amps, Legator guitars & Lundgren Pickups for costant support.
I did produce the whole thing playing all the guitars, mandolins, bass and programming (drums & keys) as well as mixing.
Ladies & Djentlemen, here is O Sole Mio (Goes Metal)...
Sorry for the lackness of updates here, however if you follow me on the social media you are very good updated about my music "journey". Long story short.
I have been to China twice last winter and the US (Namm) and Germany (Guitar Summit).
As some of you might know I am working on my new solo album. I've just released the single "Elan Vital". Listen on all the Music Streaming Services and check out the official videoclip.
The new album will be released in the fall of 2025 by FusionCore Records. Title, cover and release date will be out soon.
