Artist's Life is an illustration,
a Banksy mural, colourful, crazy and cheeky.
The typical day of the ordinary musician, tossed about between the metro, travel and tracks to be finished.
With the flavour of mood swings and hypochondrias, he narrates the dishevelled beauty of this profession with the awareness of being kissed by heaven.
Along the lines of ‘Il gusto delle cose’ is the fruit of study after the last album on Italian singer-songwriter music that winks at Pino Daniele and Lucio Dalla.
A song that is sometimes circus-like, sometimes marchy, with theatrical lyrics.
The Vita d'artista vinyl is all of this.
Demodè, ironic, romantic but distinctly groovy, ‘Vita d'Artista’ represents Serena Brancale's microcosm.
Imagining having only 50 minutes to tell her story, a ‘free’ record is born: songwriting in content and jazz in form. From recording to graphics, ‘Vita d'Artista’ follows the concept of an 80s record. A Swiss live session lasting just three days that retains the freshness of the first take.
About the record Serena states:
‘The recording process was short but creative, two days with my extraordinary fellow travellers in a Swiss studio, ‘all in the mix’ leaving the tracks open and then, slowly, enhancing the ideal groove, so that the soul of each track emerges.
As a reminder of the recording methods of the past and its sounds, the targeted choice of the ‘magic vinyl’ that will accompany all my live performances was exhaustive.
The 80s touch is recalled by this very choice because ‘the sacredness of vinyl induces one to lock oneself in a room with the record player and live music as an experience. With a glass of wine listening to ‘More than music’ but ready to rock out to the rhythm of ‘Whatever’.
