What's Beyond Senses?

About Me

Soul Mirror is not just a band. It's also a piece of life of its two creators, Roberto and Valter. In 2003, thinking about playing in a band together seemed like a dream to them: Valter was a pretty-skilled drummer, but he'd had some negative experiences, while Roberto was an inexpert singer. But they decide to create a band. After a few months of project and dreams, on January 3rd, 2004, they had their first day of practise together. Valter played the drums, Roberto played the guitar and sang, while Cristina had the bass gutiar duties. Then Enrico was talked into being the lead guitar of the band. So the first line-up of the band was done. After a year of practises, Cristina left the band, and Federica replaced her. After that, the Soul Mirror created their first CD, called "The Dreamgate", but they had the opportunity to record just 3 songs out of the 12 they had done. Their title were "Dawn", "So he can't find a way to go out", and "The Dreamgate". After three live performances, which had a pretty good result, Soul Mirror broke in July, 2005. Roberto kept playing with Enrico, while Valter started a different project with Federica, called "Five to Midnight". Roberto and Enrico succeeded in creating another line-up, with Marco playing the bass guitar and Danilo at the drums. They performed in some live concerts, with changeable results. When Alberto, a rapper, joined the band, they changed the name in "Work in Progress". After a long period of human and musical crisis, Roberto left the band in March, 2007. In the meanwhile, Valter and Federica had created "Five to Midnight". They had a whole cd to record, but they did not manage to record any of them, because of some problems with their line-up. In 2007 Roberto and Valter started talking each other again. They solved the fight they had had almost two years before, and then they found that they still had a lot in common!!! So they immediately started creating songs again. In a very few time, and with a lot of difficulties derivating from the fact that they have to think about all the instruments, and they are just two, they created 10 brand new songs. Now they are on their way to record the whole album, track by track... ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- I Soul Mirror non sono solo un gruppo, sono anche e soprattutto un pezzo di vita dei loro due creatori, Roberto e Valter. Tutto nacque nel settembre 2003, da un'idea alquanto irrealizzabile dei suddetti: Valter era un batterista già esperto ma con tristi esperienze alle spalle, Roberto un cantante alle prime armi. Insieme decisero di creare un gruppo. Dopo mesi di progetti e sogni, il 3 gennaio 2004 a casa di Valter ebbero luogo le prime prove, con Cristina al basso, Valter alla batteria, e Roberto nel ruolo di cantante-chitarrista. Gli allora Vanhadium ingaggiarono anche Enrico alla chitarra solista, creando quella che fu la prima line-up completa. Dopo un anno di prove in saletta, e dopo l'allontanamento di Cristina in favore della nuova bassista Federica, gli ora Soul Mirror composero un intero cd, chiamato "The Dreamgate". Di questo cd, furono incise solo tre tracce: "Dawn", "So he can't find a way to go out", e la title track "The Dreamgate". Dopo tre concerti che ebbero un riscontro più che positivo, i Soul Mirror si sciolsero nell'estate 2005, per motivi di carattere personale e non musicale, e le strade dei due fondatori si divisero. Roberto continuò con Enrico, mentre Valter intraprese un progetto con Federica. Il primo, avendo mantenuto il nome Soul Mirror, dopo l'ingresso nel gruppo di Marco al basso e di Danilo alla batteria, continuò a esibirsi in concerti live, ottenendo risultati altalenanti. Con l'ingresso nel gruppo di un rapper, Alberto, il nome fu cambiato in "Work in Progress". Roberto, dopo un lungo periodo di crisi musicale e di differenze di vedute con gli altri membri del gruppo, si allontanò dagli Work in Progress nel marzo 2007. Valter, nel frattempo, aveva fondato con Federica i "Five to Midnight", con i quali aveva composto ben due cd, senza però riuscire ad incidere nessuna canzone, per problemi di carattere relativo alla line-up sempre incompleta. Nel gennaio 2007, poco prima della dipartita di Roberto dagli Work in Progress, ci fu il riavvicinamento tra i due fondatori. Colmate le distanze, superate velocemente le incomprensioni riguardanti ciò che era accaduto un anno e mezzo prima, i due ricominciarono immediatamente a scrivere musica. In poco tempo, e con pochissime occasioni di provare, i due hanno composto un cd di dieci tracce: "What's Beyond Senses?". Sempre con la difficoltà di incidere tutti gli strumenti in due, e con vari problemi legati al tempo e al denaro necessari, i due si accingono a continuare la loro opera.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Ecco le foto "supportanti" ;) !!
