We are experiencing very difficult and intense moments, many categories of workers are in great difficulty and certainly that of musicians is not exempt ... indeed!
Closed venues, canceled tours, closed theaters, all economic sources fail for those who have decided to choose the hard work of the musician.
In this moment, more than ever, music can be of vital importance and not only economically speaking but above all from a therapeutic point of view, for musicians and not, so we must find a way to carry out our work / passion.
It's nice to see so many famous artists making videos on various social networks but who pays ???
That is how Simon Nobili, musician from Pesaro, has discovered an American platform where it is possible, by recording, to perform from the living room of one's home with a tablet, a lap top or professional audio / video systems: stageit. com
What makes the difference compared to direct Facebook o Instagram is that those who decide to see the concert, as in a club, must buy a ticket but the price is at their discretion (pay what you can) and can, at the same time, interact with the artist and other spectators.
This is why he decided to propose the 01/04/2020 a live performance with his acoustic and semi hollow body guitars, all processed in real time by digital processors (kemper head, Boss RC300).
The repertoire will range from pieces from his cd "By the River "Registered with LUNIK STUDIO di Pesaro 2 years ago with Daniel DiGregorio (vibraphone), Giacomo Dominici (double bass) e Max Ferri (drums) up to songs by Pat Metheny, Lucio Dalla e Pino Daniele.
We sincerely hope that other Italian musicians will follow his example and that, by doing so, they can, even if only partially, compensate for the economic losses (and not only) that this virus has brought us.
