Il sogno del Marinaio
08-10-2009
Il Sogno del Marinaio is a new project, featuring the great bass player Mike Watt (Minutemen, fiREHOSE, J Mascic, Iggy & the Stooges), Stefano Pilia on guitar and bass and A.B. on drums.
This is Mike's spiel:
"il sogno del marinaio - "the sailor's dream" is the name I picked for
this collaboration w/musicians stefano pilia and andrea belfi and why
did I pick it? first off, it's in italian and this important cuz it's
the first time I collaborate w/artists from that land and also in their
land (by the way, my ma's people come from italy). I am the son of a
sailor and so you now a little about both my parents! my first time
playing in italy was in 1983 and I've done lots of gigs since but never
like this, collaborating w/her native sons. I am intrigued by the works
of both stefano and andrea and am quite interested in sailing their
seas of music and how they merge w/mine. I think I learn more about
myself this way, that is my dream - and to do the best I can for them.
I feel for me it's a voyage back home in a trippy sense, a sailor's
dream of discovery through connections that baffle linear thinking...
that is part of the magical ocean of music I dearly believe in"
They will tour and record together on next November/December in Italy.
