10. Tatha Gate (Spheredelic, 2022)

This albums theme is represented by different animals which currently are on the brink of extinction and a Buddhist philosophy. We encourage the listener to really interact and find their own meaning in this format bending work. From piano to more unconventional or exotic instruments like the berimbau or thom ramman a wide range of sounds provide an interesting listening experience even if you decide against incorporating the poetry. Another important part of the work are the 12 animal paintings that were created for it.The physical paintings are for sale on a donation basis and the proceeds go towards animal welfare projects. P.S. Lapidus Scotland, an organization which  offers reading and writing activities to promote health and wellbeing, has chosen one of our paintings to turn it into a postcards. To support this work, we "almost" world wide toured. 12 gigs as many as the Buddhist nidanas. In each gig, we played and meditated on only 1 of the 12 songs. We performed in the following cities, thanks to  Triratna and Pragmatic Buddhists: Chester, Norwich, Southampton, Glasgow (UK) - Stockholm (Sweden) - Amsterdam (Netherlands) - Bologna, Rome (Italy) - Melbourne, Sydney (Australia) - Caracas (Venezuela) -  Nagpur (India).
 










 

 
 
9. China Chat (Bam Balam Records, 2021)

These musical comic strips were born from my lyrics,  while I used to live mainly in Hangzhou. I wanted to imprint in my mind everything I could learn from this Chinese experience. I had wanted to live in China for over ten years. I didn't care that it was a strong economy, that wasn't the reason. I wanted to live and breathe with my own eyes the great Asian country, another cradle of humanity. Walking where communism, good and evil, made history. P.S. It is full of special guests and it is only available in paper version. click here to see and listen to an excerpt.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

8. Mantra Marx  (Zenapolae, 2019 [English & Chinese version])
(Spheredelic, 2019 [German version])
​
I took Capital from the shelf to read again. I got rid of guitars and songs to give a didactic approach to the music. 25 tracks, one for each of Volume 1's 25 chapters. I use the lyrics as Hindu-style mantras. The music, besides being lo-fi and badly made, is just an excuse. The lyrics are a summarized version of the aforementioned book, spoken by 25 different native Mandarin voices, completely unaware of the reason behind the recording. P.S. I played the Guqin here.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7. Let's Get Away from  here (English & Italian version, Seahorse Recordings, 2016)

Album recorded thanks to the precious advice, mixing, production of Christopher Sprake of Last Match Recordings in Melbourne, Australia. 11 songs poised between indie rock, songwriting and experimentalism. The concept is the integration of migrants, as I am.  Except the guitars of the song Charlie, played by Chris, I played all the other instruments.
P.S. Wonderful front cover by Giacomo Vella (Zazà Comics) but Seahorse recordings has done a bad job of promotion.

6. A Kind of World (Silbermedia, 2014)

 
I have been a big SilberMedia fan since forever. But I did not have a chance to release any work for them. When I asked Brian (Vlor, Remora's John Mitchell) if I can compose something for his label, he told me, "look, we have this 5in5 EP series, fancy trying?" So 5 songs, 1 minute each. It was composed and recorded in the US, Mexico and Australia. I think it was the most difficult album to compose, but it was worth the best review ever by Beach Sloth.
P.S. There are no words in the front cover, just a photo shot in Cuba and staged by myself.

5. Gesu' Clonato e l'Anticristo Vegetariano (Ahimsa/Believe/Simple/Medea, 2012)

This is an unusual soundtrack. My friend Paolo Ricci wrote a novel entitled, in fact, The Cloned Jesus and the Vegetarian Antichrist in which the stories of these two mutual antagonists are told. I was struck by it, it was the first novel in Italian that really spoke about the problem of animal rights. With the help of Massimiliano Ferrari of the jazz trio Triband, I composed very 70's-inspired music, reciting the first chapter of the novel.
P.S. The novel became a movie afterwards: Green Man.







 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Just a Bunch of Unresolved Cases (MovimentoFlaneur/Believe 2010)
​
This is an important record in my artistic career. First of all because it's the first to be sung in English and from here on the line up of the project NonMiPiaceIlCirco! will always be different. It was recorded in Russia, in Moscow in a studio that no longer exists. Arslan Miroslav is on guitars. The concept is the 11 most common unsolved mysteries in the world.
P.S. Thanks to its sound we were able to tour Canada.




 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Scimmie Arrabbiate e Stupidi Compromessi (Dedalo Sound 2008)
​
This is the last album in a usually trio line-up and which has a full rock flavour. It was recorded completely in my former studio in Italy and mixed at Bi-OS Productions.
P.S. Except 1 song, there are only piano and drums.
 
 




 
 
 
 
2. La Solita Giornata Felice (Flaneur Produzioni, 2006)
1. Con una Macchia d'Asfalto sul Viso (Flaneur Produzioni, 2004)
​
These are the first 2 albums.  The sound quality is terrible due to a lack of money and experience, but they contains a few songs that are very important for our fans.
P.S. The song CacciaIlCacciatore (HuntTheHunter) was used for the eponymous campaign against hunting by Oipa.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Siete Vivi (PDD) - Live@ClubGiallo(MI) - 20/06/08 
Nell'Aria con poco - Unplugged@RadioOkMusik - 10/12/06

In the period when NonMiPiaceIlCirco! was more a band than a purely artistic project, two live albums were released.
P.S. There are two unreleased tracks, one with Paolo Ricci's poems, the other with lyrics by Amnesty International about the death penalty. Thanks to my picture for the Siete Vivi front cover, I understood this project can be more than songs.
