( r ) - in pink
imprec157 - cd

brand new full length, 2nd for important, from larsen member fabrizio modonese palumbo's brilliant ( r ) project.

from fabrizio modonese palumbo:

in pink is the 3rd ( r ) album. i’ve worked on it for almost 2 years, both ‘cause i’ve been very busy with larsen and xxl as well as touring and working in the studio with other bands, and ‘cause it came through troubled and sometimes painful, but anyway intense times.

whereas the previous under the cables, into the wind was a very warm and relaxed album, and also my favourite so far, in pink is a pretty extreme one, swinging between joy and fear, introspective moody songs and explosions of - desperately optimistic - energy.

still it is more a diary than an exorcism, filled with songs about death and transfiguration, including my version of an irish traditional theme (which also johnny cash interpreted on one of his american albums) and joy division’s classic atmosphere (which i list among the best songs ever written). it is also my most arranged and colourful album where my recent experiences as producer for other bands have converged, and the most “band” oriented among my solos.

while i was composing and recording it i was also playing lots of shows and often other musicians joined me on stage. i really wanted to have them on the album in order to get that sound in the studio too and also for personal and sentimental reasons, them being among my closest friends.

paul beauchamp (who is also my partner in the blind cave salamander project as well as one of the members of the steve mckay - of stooges- band), ango (of mariae nascenti), il bue (of larsen) and the amazing baby dee have contributed to the final result of this album along with marco milanesio that even this time has not only recorded and mixed the album, but also co-produced it with me.

the cd also sports some amazing pictures by photographer giulia caira that portray to perfection the moods of the music.

pink was also the colour of vivienne westwood’s sex pistols t-shirts, so in pink is a punk album and, despite everything - luckily!- it ends up with very positive notes, out of darkness and into the landscapes and the waters of the blue lagoon.

( r ) - under the cables, into the wind
imprec057 - cd

following the critical and commercial success of larsen's full length play, larsen guy fabrizio modonese polumbo is releasing his first full length recording. full of all the moods, methods and arrangement that make larsen such a fascinating and engaging listen. under the cables, into the wind takes the attentive listener in directions unfamiliar in larsen audio landscape. subtle, beautiful and melodic under the cables, into the wind would sit perfectly in the larsen catalog if it didn't stand so well on its own.

from my point of view under the cables, into the wind is my first real solo album. the first ( r ) album humps was released in 2001 by radon, home of artists such as smegma and steve mckay ( the legendary sax player of the stooges) but infact, humps was more a collection of previously unreleased tracks, commissioned works and live sessions. since then ( r ) tracks have appeared on several compilations and i've played lots of solo shows in italy and usa.

i worked on this new album for almost one year and for me it also represents the light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is still pretty dark and melancholic it is also really relaxed and warm.

i recorded it in my own studio in torino, italy with my faithful sound engineer marco milanesio ( founder of the historical italian industrial band dsordne) who has also coproduced it and plays piano on one track; the only exception is a live session recorded @ the kfjc studios which is part of the ghost are made of dna suite, probably my most desolate track ever.

the album features a cover version of i'm with u of the mtv punk starlette avril lavigne. i'm not really good at covers so my version doesn't sound like the original version (i kept just a few chords even if i think it has a very good melody ) but the lyrics are (almost) the same. i guess lots of people would think this is an ironic interpretation, but it is not! i'm really fascinated by bad pop music because it is such a powerful tool of control on the moods of the masses.

i'm not sure what the song was about before (but according to the video it was about the unbearable tragedy to not have a car or money for a cab and consequently to be forced to find someone willing to drive you home from a boring party), but now it is a declaration of empathy (let's say love) for (the few) who deserve it (you know who you are).
