SING MY SOUL

About Me


"Madame P is the latest musical incarnation of Patrizia Oliva." In the past I was a co-founder and member of the seminal all-female band Allun. I was also a member of the Rosas Y Tulipanes duo along with Luca Pagani, guitarist of the alternative rock back Viclarsen.
In 2004 I started collaborating with Luca Sigurta' in the highly experimental project Macaya, and with Tommaso Rolando and Marco Ravera - guitarist and double bass player of the acclaimed jazz/fusion band Calomito - in the impro/jazzy ensemble called Toba.
Some of my self-produced EPs and a long serie of concerts rapidly brought me among the few italian women dealing with experimental music. My official debut album was released in Germany by Cold Coffeine Addict in November 2005. A noisy collaboration with The Afeman, a.k.a. Andrea Marutti, was released in April 2006 on Afe Records.
My live sets are focused on the wide range of my vocal techniques: I experiment with my voice sampling it in real time and feeding the result through various effect units. I also use contact microphones and other minimal electronic devices. I never used a laptop and I don't own a computer at all. I also play bass, guitar, mandolin and keyboards.
"Spellbound", an album recorded live during a performance in Rome, was released in the U.K. by Curor Recordings last Autumn.
In May 2007 I gave life to a new duo called Camusi along with the great italian drummer and musician Stefano Giust; he also run a label called Setola di Maiale. Our first self-titled album was released just a few months ago, it was recorded at "Lab12", my old house/artspace in Italy.
During Spring 2007, I composed a soundtrack for the old silent movie "Madame DuBarry", it was premiered live last May in Milan, Italy.
Madame P also has an alter ego called Mad Amp, I use to play noise and more electronic-oriented music under this guise.
I have been touring through U.S.A., U.K., Scotland, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Slovenja.
I improvised with: Andrea Marutti, Luca Sigurtà, Luca Pagani, Roberto Bellatalla, Tommaso Rolando, Marco Ravera, Stefano Giust, Dominik Gawara, Herb Diamante, Jacopo Andreini, Metuo, Stefania Pedretti, Katia Zinichino, A034, Bruno Dorella, Tommy Greenwood, Paul Baran, Radikal Satan, UR, Alessandro Calbucci, Xabier Riondo, Sektor 304, Claudio Gavina, Bjerga, Iversen, Stefano Migliosi, Marino Josè Malagnino, Rinus Van Alabeek, Francesco Calandrino, Jeff Gburek, Mat Pogo, Zazie, Alessandro Buzzi, Roberta JD Meatball, Walter Belloni, Viclarsen, Bugo, Nora Keyes, Claudio Parodi, Harshcore, Jeremy Stone, and more.
