My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/11/2006
Band Website: giovannidalmonte.com
Band Members: Jean de La Jovenc, aka Giovanni Dal Monte .. ..
Influences: ....oh no!!! what can i say? from billie Holiday to Bjork? From Stockhausen to Gorecki? from Hendrix to Matmos? from Mingus to Lachenmann? ethnic,pop,classical...Gnawa, ragas, sufi ? Please..... Eno, scott,reich, ligeti,britten,varese?...handel, haydn, strauss's lieders, mozart...??? did they influence my music or should i say they first have feed my mind? i don't know. **** and I would also say..lately silence is my preferred sound. Everykind of music can bother me, mine first! I think there are not only musical influences, but life experiences, culture context, literature, inclinations..which contribute to create an artistic dimension. The way to perceive and use memories, love, hate, our fears.. and especially limits, they gave us the form (shape?)..and as we suppose, form is substance. How could we get the meaning of Picasso or Reich for example, without contemplate first their visible form? ******* And then paintings, colors..perfumes...relationships.. However, La Jovenc's music it's experimental, electronic, sometime jazzy and sometime concrete music, but warm, ritual and apocryphal. It cames from somewhere in the past, it's here and now for a while and i don't know where it will goes.
