A record that received the nomination for Independent Music Awards which will be held in New York City on June 22nd.
This is an event of considerable importance for music, not really mainstream considering also that the quality jury is chaired by big consolidated as Tom Waits, Robert Smith, Todd Rundgren.

"who knows”Opens the disc with an obsessive guitar round and a splash of effects with the high and thin voice of Iuliano that gives a flavor of mystery. "Not a sound”Is built on a delicate piano pattern and the whispered voice emphasizes a text built on ethereal images. Beautiful suspended atmosphere and also the choirs that recall a mellotron much used in the best records of years 70.
"The hidden root”Closes the disc and is certainly the most representative track considering the complex arrangement made up of multiple sound layers. Even the text seems to go in search of those "hidden roots" that each of us carries within, summarizing this restlessness in the verses: "It's only when you dye you can reborn again / when uncertainty is the future you deep inhale sane"
In an interview Iuliano declares that this record was made practically entirely by him, but that he is about to make another one with the participation of other musicians. We look forward to it and in the meantime we wish you a big good luck for next Saturday's event.
