    FINALLY!! ORCHESTRAL ALBUM ′′ MOON IN CAPRICORN ′′ POSTED!!!

    I am extremely proud to announce the release of this incredible album, by American artist Kara Johnstad and with my arrangements/orchestrations/production, a pop album with a film sound, rich in intense and emotional songs (including the song "Message Of Hope", which I wrote), boasting the use of two great symphonic orchestras, a string quartet, numerous top musicians, mix and analog mastering, for a total of about 120 people (!!).
    It's more incredible to say, it's a self-production, realised without the stupid limits of every kind and the dullness of record companies, without gag, without following fashion or cliches, without brake on the heart. A story of friendship, freedom, affection, true music.

  • All of this meant 10 years of waiting, the album repeatedly announced, in front of my quick preproduction finished in 2009, to find the right synergies, performances, exchanges, money, collaborations, overcome the inevitable problems, and much Nothing that helps to create such an ambitious album, that I pride myself on saying it has very few equal in global discography, especially today where everything is synthetic and easy and quick to consume.

    Hearing all the songs in line in the studio finally completed, I cried with beauty, and not just me...

    I sincerely thank ALL the top musicians, many of them dear friends, who lent their art to this project
