BIOGRAPHY
Formed around April's Fools Day (my fate is doomed) after years of struggling to find its way to start, THE KISS THAT TOOK A TRIP is a highly amateurish one-man project which builds 90% of its darkly luminous music via PC, at the risk of being justly despised by actual bands. Sorry in advance. I can't play anything, so shame on me. I would love to trash guitars onstage, but that's a scenery that will never come true. In my defense I have to say that I don't use loops or previously arranged music: I write every note/chord you hear. I'm not interested in using someone else's ideas, but mine, both musical and personal. This project is heavy on political overtones too.
Despite of what you've read, this MySpace site does not pretend to be serious at all. The purpose of this page is to spread my work (or whatever you want to call it) to experience the almost masochistic feeling of artistic exposure, no matter how mediocre my output may be. This music won't change your world, because it's just meant to build mine. To put it shortly: this is a hobby that's gone too far.
Also, I'd like to encourage anyone holding anything creative inside to let it out loud, because in these times of predatory multinational companies and disguised slavery, people are eager to live life. Well, I think this is the way.
Long live Internet opportunities. The tunes are on their way.

MUSICAL FATHER FIGURES
Although passion for music has been there all along, some artists have boosted it to new heights. As a side note to this Bio section, I feel obliged to name the all-time favourite musicians of mine:
The Smashing Pumpkins (+every side project you can name)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor (+almost every related band you can think of)
Mogwai
The Gathering
Nine Inch Nails
U2
Live
Megadeth
Glenn Branca
Angelo Badalamenti
I could name dozens more, but these are the real deal. To find endless lists of influences by look-how-eclectic-we-are/poseur bands, visit any other MySpace site, not this.
Do yourself a favour and chek out those new for you.
