My maritime pine and spring
posted @ Thursday, March 18, 2010 10:59 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

New flavours are announcing that spring's coming. And UtopicMusic spring has come bringing Annabel's songs as a gift.
For me who live under the shadow of a maritime pine, abandoned between cement houses, a tree that is waiting for nothing else than the end of the winter fog, this is real relief.

What you're listening to is made of some songs taken from "Now that we're alive": short and intense youthful rides, full of hope and enthusiasm.
I think I'm going to go out of my home. It's sunny, and there are the new flavours taken by spring waiting for me. I think I'll take my camera, should be worth doing.
"Go out of home, man, take your camera with you, take anything else... 'cause it's worth doing". This is what Annabel - a band from Kent, Ohio, US - seem to tell me, with their songs full of hope and talent...

Let's go!

A fresh look on what's UtopicMusic
posted @ Thursday, March 11, 2010 3:38 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ What's UtopicMusic? ]

                                       logo by amediadesign.it


Let's start this post with a question: what's UtopicMusic? Well, on your right you can find some links that will lead you to a place where you'll find some explanations. But they've been written some time ago. Maybe it's time to say again one or two things.

UtopicMusic IS NOT a blog. UtopicMusic HAS a blog, the one you're reading. At this moment, the blog is only the visible part of a much more complex project, which will be online soon. We are working on something which we hope will be useful to the musicians, the people who define theirselves addicted-to-music, and to so many other categories. You're thinking: oh no, is it another social network? Another one? OMG! We have myspacevirbreverbnationsoundcloudlastfmfacebook... It's enough!

Well, maybe it is enough. But maybe it is not. We think our creature will be entirely different. It will be such. Maybe people will not understand the difference... but we feel that it will not be the case, because such a difference will be clear, and you'll see it from the beginning, I mean already the first time you'll open utopicmusic.com.

We still need some months, then we'll release a first version, which will not be public: only some people will be able to use it, in order to test it and let us recognize and fix all the bugs. For this first step we'll need the help of some friends, preferably - but not necessarily - musicians, who may be available for signing up in UM and starting using it.
Surfing our alpha version will be pleasant, trust me... So, if some of the musicians & music lovers who follow our blog would like to join our project... please do not hesitate: contact us by e-mail:

fiorenzo@utopicmusic.com - carlo@utopicmusic.com

So, once again, what you have to do is stayin' tuned...!

one shot song
posted @ Sunday, March 07, 2010 2:28 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

The UtopicMusic archive is nearly full and we are providing to enlarge it in the next few days.
For this reason, today we're going to listen to "Unconstant Failure Part II", one shot song by Karmatest, a young team from Genua, Italy.

The lovely karmatest's first album cover


As you probably know, I'm not a good reviewer and well, our music player tells the story better than a thousand words...
But if you're looking for the right voltage, the proper amount of adrenaline and a certain claustrophobic atmosphere, this is the way to go...
Vaguely (I'm an homesick boy, really), the guitars remind me of an old song by Motorpsycho ( "Drug Thing", Blissard - Stickman Records, 1996).

"Unconstant Failure Part II", by Karmatest: the first step of a young team to the inescapable simplicity of rock'n'roll.

Keep in touch and see ya soon

Utopic (Own) Music - An unreleased song by ManzOni
posted @ Sunday, February 28, 2010 5:14 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

Some of you maybe know who are the people working on UtopicMusic blog (and, of course, on the mother-project UtopicMusic.com - by the way: news coming soon...).  We're tryin' to create something that might be useful to the musicians also because most of us are musicians... and some music we recorded in the past is inside our random playlist (Rosso!, Chances). Today we want to talk, just for a while, about our present project.

ManzOni is a band where I and Carlo play, together with three other guys. We just finished mixing our first work... so, today we want to share with the blog's readers one of our songs. On our myspace you will find some of the tunes we recorded, but not the one you're listening to. It is, let's say, previously unreleased... Its name is "Scrivo", and talks about pens, black ink, death, and beautiful yellow flowers, the ones you can see on the picture below.

Hope you'll enjoy our music and, after havin listened to the schizoid noisy "solo" in the final part of the song, played by Carlo, maybe you'll better understand some of his posts... :-)

Cheers,

Fiorenzo

Dadaism and forecasts
posted @ Sunday, February 21, 2010 8:55 PM | Feedback (1) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

Dear friends,

there's nothing better than a throat ache and deep shadows in & around, if you need an artist to make a post on: you are this way motivated to find some good stuff, 'cause you hardly need relief. Well, I found some while listening to this French guy called Jonathan, who writes classy and smart music under the moniker The Dada Weatherman.
Our man is really young, but his music is mature, deep, and it can accompany you while you're thinking 'bout you and your troubles, or your joys... songs which are "fit", no matter what's your mood like.
You can listen to four songs of his. The first two are from "EarthQuakes & Failed Mutations", an album which is oriented towards lyricism and soft atmospheres, while the other two are from the more bluesy "Mind of blue".

The man is also a really good painter: all the artwork on his albums is self-made. Take a look to the painting below, and check the other ones (and, of course, all his music, which can be partly downloaded for free) on his pages:

http://www.jamendo.com/it/artist/The_Dada_Weatherman_(2)

I think this guy has a great talent: I must say, a little bit of relief has come.

Cheers,

A diabolic and nice funfair
posted @ Sunday, February 14, 2010 11:39 AM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

Who is familiar with UM blog will probably ask himself "what's happening?". A metal band on UtopicMusic!
Well, I asked myself the same thing, before starting writing. There's no metal at all, in our archive. This could seem an editorial choice... but it's not like that. It is simply the consequence of our musical taste, which is usually quite far away from metal. When we look for music, we stop when we find something we like, that's all.

The Diablo Swing Orchestra, this is the name of today's band, has the great capacity to stand up between different genres. They play metal, of course, but also jazz, classical music (mainly for the vocalist) and, sometimes, a sort of balkan music (they're from Sweden...).
But what I like most and convinced me to post their music is their "attitude". The attitude of a band jumps over every classification based on genres. And the attitude is probably the most interesting aspect of our orchestra.
Their music is truly "debunking" and burlesque. They do not care about genres and trends. It seems like riding genres that are so far away one from each other could be, for them, a nice game or a joke, just like a funfair... They like to take it easy... And we like them.

In the end, we want to say "thank you" to the Diablo Swing Orchestra. Your music, which is so lovely diabolic... is necessary for the life of our blog.

Stay tuned,

Carlo Trevisan

Japanese Gum on UtopicMusic
posted @ Sunday, February 07, 2010 5:49 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]


Hallo everybody!

Today I'm going to talk you about an Italian duo called Japanese Gum, from Genua.
Recently I could see them live, and then I bought their last work, called "Hey folks! Nevermind,we are all falling down", which is distributed by the Japanese label Friend of mine.
I really enjoyed their album, and I reccommend it to all of you. Ethereal electronics melted with guitars and synths. While listening, I felt like I was inside a long dream, full of hypnotic vibrations and warm pulses: they're really good in mixing simple, catchy melodies and refined rhytmic beats. Furthermore, what I appreciate most about them is their courage in being involved in sounds and genres which are mostly at home in northern Europe, and less common in Italy... Well, they can be considered the Italian answer to those bands (let's talk about Iceland?) that UM loves so much.

 


Dear friends, have a relaxing trip on hypothetical remote planets on a shuttle made of Japanese gum!
See you soon,

Laura Chieregato

Women from another world
posted @ Saturday, January 30, 2010 4:11 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]

If you dream about night like I do. If you consider it mysterious and sensual like I do. If in every club of the town there's a hidden surprise. If this surprise looks like a woman. A woman who dances alone.

In my town these surprises are - sadly - not so frequent. This is the trouble with the little towns.
But I have to say thank you to Antony Raijekov, from Bulgary, for having given me a thrill.
Music is dream, they say. Well, listening to Antony music means to abandon yourself to sensuality and mistery.
Have you ever known a girl so different from you? Have you ever kissed a girl whose skin has a different color from yours? Have you ever caressed the skin of a woman who has the perfume of another continent?

Antony's music tells this amazing and unforgettable story. And that's all.

Yearning days
posted @ Thursday, January 21, 2010 3:49 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]


Today's music looks like those days during which the sun comes out suddenly, breaks the sky after a storm and lights the streets, the buildings, and the graffiti on the walls...
And so, we are obliged to stop looking to the ground and turn our eyes around. God, it's full of colors 'round us!
Amélie's music is like that. It's simple, instantaneous, truly "pop", and vividly colored.



As you know, UtopicMusic doesn't like dressing the posts with too much words. A few ingredients, simple recipes and let's leave room to the music.
So let you be caught, 'cause today's ingredients are really simple:

"Do it over" 
"slow"
"Shake you"
"get high"
"soon a shine will come"

Romanticism, metropolitan beat, nostalgic rides, love... all of this melted in a EP called "be low", which deserves a careful listening.
This band plays music which sounds "English", somehow. But if I told they're Italian, almost no one would believe me... So, go and discover them:

Music world is full of yearning surprises.

Stay tuned,

Ancestral music from the deep North.
posted @ Wednesday, January 13, 2010 5:23 PM | Feedback (0) | Filed Under [ Tracklists ]
The winter atmospheres - that are often not cold at all - are playing an important role in our blog. A little big treasure of dreams that you'll easily find, if you'll let the player play long enough.
Today we are going to add to this treasure another little jewel. I'm talking about "Celestial Aeon Project", led by the Finnish artist Matti Paalanen.

                  
 

This is ancestral music: night spirits that protect our sleep and do not scare, and sideral spaces waved by the wind.
Matti probably gives us a splendid and personal picture of his land. Who, just like us, has never saw - but often imagined - Finland, has the great chance to travel there by listening to this music.
So let's start travelling, carried by our imagination, that sleepy imagination which only music can wake.. Hoping that Matti could hear us, while recording the end of winter in his home studio.
 
See you soon,
 
Carlo Trevisan.
 
PS: there are so many other interesting things in Matti's production. In particular, he's got a brilliant talent in writing soundtracks. Go and fully discover this artist, it's really worth doing...
