NICHELODEON - CINEMANEMICO (ITALY)

Claudio Milano, an italian friend of this blog writes to me for promote his project:
Nichelodeon is an insane alternative to entertainment. It's a music project oblique and visionary, tainted by different kinds of music and arts. It was born in 2007 thanks to Claudio Milano, a songwriter for theatre productions, Francesco Zago and Maurizio Fasoli, electric guitar and piano with the band Yugen and Riccardo Di Paola, an avant/jazz player (synth). The new cd live "Cinemanemico" (2008 Progawards nomination as Best Debut Record) was recorded in the late 2007 after a series of successful live exhibitions. It features tracks written within ten years, played by different ensembles in shows in Italy, Holland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Czech Republic and Russia (Moscow, First Biennale of Contemporary Arts, January 2005) . In the performance "The room plays what I cannot see”, the quartet takes part actively with readings from Pellegrino Artusi's "The science of Cookery and the Art of Eating Well” (1891), videoinstallations by the director Marco Rossi and Enrico Maria Brocchetta, sculptures by "letestedimary", scenographies and fleeting theatrical creations by Manuela Tadini, referring to the 20th Century Avant/Gard movements. On June 2008, among the winners of the XII "Omaggio a Demetrio Stratos" review, the Nichelodeon were guests, with Albert Hera and Giovanni Cospito, of the "Factory Art" project, dedicated to John Cage's figure and work. On November 2008, Luca Olivieri (synth, programming, glockenspiel), composer for theatre productions and member of the italian art/folk band Yo Yo Mundi join the project.
