With Garage & Roll, we are going to discover the underground music of our cities
retracing a musical journey in the history of the garages of yesterday and today
symbolic places already for some time where to cultivate ideas and talents and give voice to artistic expression
we'lll go to find the artists directly in their "creative den" where they'll tell us their stories and their sound
We left Palestrina to return to Rome in the Collatino district ..
the Roman songwriter scene has always given artists and albums of a certain thickness
today is more fervent than ever as many artists such as Valerio Giannoni and his band demonstrate, a band
which combines folk tradition, traditional italian songwriting with numerous influences, for a refined sound
thoughtful, ironic and light
let's meet them !!
Hi valerio
Lara from Garage & Roll, hello guys!
thank you for having hosted us in your garage
which is a bit of a parallel world for you this place ...?
Yes, yes
of course
it is a garage that is lent for playing because above of us there is a park
the sounds remain quite closed
they stay here and they don't go
to disturb the buildings around
here we are! perfect! let's open the garage door
how cool we are in this box! we are in July (too hot) and we are at an ideal temperature!
we have a very efficient system of
air conditioning here .. of the
1980 haha, but it works! exactcly! still refreshes us ..
exact! so now they'lll let us listen to something
taken from their albums "fantautore" of 2014 and "Ciechi fantasiosi" of 2018 googd listening!
the chronometer has departed friends of Garage & Roll, but the times we'll not respect almost never because even today, a big episode in the name
in the name of a songwriter instead we found a great italian band!
Giorgio, we must do the espisode in 7 minutes because 7 is a recurring number in this band..ahahah later Valerio will explain about
we'll try it...it will be difficult :)
We are here in the company of Valerio Giannoni and all his talented musicians
introduce yourself guys! I'm Lorenzo Vitali, I play the bass ... I'm 3 years old
abundant almost four that I play with Valerio and I'm happy to be part of the second album
then we have a particular element ... from the strap you can guess ...
Massimiliano, I play the saxophone
I give' some note of color with the saxophone
"and also elegance" no?!
Marco Capotosto, drums and i play with Valerio "and percussions also"
yes, and percussion ... as well as a great one
songwriter, Valerio is a great artist and also a good friend with whom we shared so much event outside the music
it can be said that he is a good travelling and music companion for everyone ...
if you have chosen some reason there will be :)
because then you start in 2014 with the album "fantautore" "exact, with another formation....
of the old formation there were Massimiliano and Marco and then
there was also another bassist e
piano and / or keyboard in 2014 "
after 4 years, now in 2018
you have created this "Ciechi fantasiosi" and I wanted to ask you if there is a common thread between the two albums
"then the first album we say contains
seven tracks
and also the second "ahah for that the 7! why the choice of the number seven?
But the seven is a number that recurs often in my life in short, 7 and multiples of seven now without being in numerology ...ahah
we are blind fanciful we imagine the world to our shape and fragility ..
as our viewers will then see, Valerio Giannoni is a singer-songwriter project
which has a folk mood and that looks to the songwriting italian
tradition no? how as you live and how you move in the current scene?
in Contemporary scene? and if you have any advice and listen you want to tell us ...
some suggestion that you want to give to our spectators...
"For example, now let's say in addition to mainstream bands, like those that
go a bit 'for the greater, but there is, we have discovered for several years a beautiful underground world that also thanks to
shows like yours are gradually discovered
so...
with many very good songwriters starting from those already a bit 'more known type here,
"Dente", Brunori Sas, who are now starting to be a little more known. Your voice remembers a bit '"Dente" (songwriter) ...
there is some similarity ... positively :)
and then for example even less known but still more known as "Zibba"
but then going further down like for example Emanuele Galoni or Emanuele Colandrea
in short, they are songwriters
that we like and follow
the songwriting is a genre that maybe made the backbone of our culture with De Gregori, etc ...
in short, the eighties say, however, let's say recently took a new interest .. but I think I say it in a way a little '
controversy we also say a little 'commercial ... there is a songwriting of tradition and one a little' more "fashion" ..commercial ...
one that looks a bit 'at the forefront, more electronic ...
I think it's a question, like all of society today, it's a bit like the market
it tends to drive a little
unfortunately also the art in some aspects, "art" if we can still define it that way
in conclusion
probably that's what dirty a little bit; there are the talents show where you have to be technically the best with the thing because otherwise
otherwise it seems that it does not work that you are not doing well instead, according to me, take back a little bit
the authenticity of saying okay I do what I do and see how it goes ...
we like a lot it...
exact! if you like it you will surely like it to the public too
first of all there is fun, because if we have fun, we can also give this feeling to those who are in front of us
and it's a plus, beyond the music itself
certainly! now we have heard them live and we have caught the fun and great arrangements above all....
why did you choose sax for your music?
he was born in the first band that has made Valerio; he had seen that I had started playing the saxophone
and he asked me if I wanted to participate
I had never had band experiences
I put a few notes on it, at first a little less, then always a little more. An experimental laboratory
You also define yourself a little 'so no?
Well, now like now if you do not do a little bit
experimentation doesn't bring anything out, even in the field
singer-songwriter and in any case Valerio has some brilliant ideas that we are looking for in our small way to value
I wanted to say that fantasy ... "Ciechi fantasiosi" is a bit of an oxymoron
because imagination is openness, freedom ... where does the title come from? I would like to understand..
the title refers .. further to be two words that are in our song that is "giro di vita" also refers to how
we tend to face life, that is, instead of seeing maybe the essence
we are a bit 'closed with the eyes for many things from how we should be and so on
so we are a bit blind, but we imagine who knows what great thing we are doing is
great movements and then a little bit this I liked
this, I wanted to express this contrast in this sentence. Is there still time to score today? Do you find time?
there are many commitments I think as for everyone ... despite the routine
and everyday life, yes there are so many commitments in life ...
however, "the dream is always the way to escape"
exact! if they take that away too! :) it is hard to find yourself in the room because when you come from a day of
work we are tired, but crossed that threshold,
Everything becomes easier
yes, it's the power of music .. and it comes out reassured, no?
Yes yes, then today living of music is really a 'utopia .... or what do you think?
there is a noise from behind .... the coffee is out !! yuhuu!
You are a songwriter and surely you are the creative soul of the calbum, but you are also a band?
"definitely me when
when I start writing a piece,
I write here the text, the first notes in the sense a bit 'the accompaniment of guitar,
a little 'in the general line so and then later, the work in the hall -
especially with regard to the rhythm part - that is, with Marco and Lorenzo, I may say
"I like this piece like this" but maybe a little bit Lorenzo? guys..
We always put our ideas ... all the same sugar? all one ... no one on a diet? aahha ah a bitter, a bitter there is always ..
what is the difficulty that musicians like you find most nowadays? for example...
looking for a date .. follow the social medias ...in this sense? yes you now, in this sense ... a rather practical question
if you have difficulties because maybe not .. :)
Surely, surely find some dates for play..
"see that the answer is easy ahah" the answer is: to find dates ahah
finding dates is not easy because often on the premises
people when he is there, in a pub etc wants to hear the music he knows ....
maybe Ligabue or other types of music
and more than anything else the need to reconcile
the different needs like writing something new
being here in the room, to follow the web and in this Valerio does a job
exceptional, I say it
because he is very attentive to social media
and fortunately it does a great job of promotion "yes in this period I am helped above all by
italian
emerging music "yes, MIE with Salvatore Imperio
that we know ... really knowledgeable and who loves music "they really do it from the heart"
so it is important to have good partners
here are the coffees! "I do not have a drink today, no coffee for me" haha
and I thin that Valerio Giannoni and his big band
when they will find many dates and people will dance we will see some beautiful things... this is my wish! cheers!
cin cin with coffee! haha is our first time!!
and so this ...i have been indeed amazed and surprised about
the difference in sound we say between the cd and the arrangements we heard today live, and then
here is the question to the composer but also to the band .. Do you feel the difference?
yes, there is a lot of difference
in the CD it seems a little colder
it is inevitable, I think we are physiologically more set, the sound always tries to be clean
instead of the times some small dirt in the sound is beautiful ... more authentic,no?
audience also you can tell us among the comments if they have convinced you as a band :)
say 7 is the perfect number, who knows, will live in seven? we just have to go and see them to find out!
is there anything that boils in the pot on a musical level? are you planning something?
Yes, some pieces are beginning to be
some other piece is starting to blend in
mind .. "because an imaginative mind like yours ..;)
is starting to whisk the mind haha .. "Oh yes a creative mind never goes out!"
We have another winter to spend ... so ..
is there also heating here? yes, there ... i don't believe it! even the heating in a garage! haha
ok, we give you our stickers to cut out in the meantime ... our little gadgets d
as in the world of football the exchange of gadgets :) thanks thanks
we will give you a cd with great pleasure
"So I can listen without advertising" haha
thank you very much! "I just want to spend, if possible, a word on the cover that is
was made by a friend of mine a 'Molise artist "Serebellum"
Here, what is the cover? "She heard the album
and let's say the idea is that of the imaginative blind, because in the cover there is
The roller coaster in short, the carousel that represents life a bit
and then there is this character, this girl who paints with the comic so the fantasy with the heart, with the heart
in his hand "yes ...
and now we want a after dinner-drink?
we take it to out rooms
Let's show it's here, otherwise it seems all fake!

or whatever you want or prefer even an Argentine mate I mean ... and oh well we'll make something up

Valerio Giannoni and let's say more there is the violin, which was played by Enrico Cori, who we salute
and a special thanks goes to Emilio Bemportato
his contribution was fundamental in the mixing phase and his infinite patience
ahaha! only one more... we get to 7! :)
"the last? to the after dinner drink "Amaro del Capo".. hahaha that always supports us" and inspires you no?
