"Syzygy to serendipity"

About Me

A Short Autobiography by Leo Badinella

So I was born and then I started playing guitar, and in my last year of high school I entered a new band that Nicolas, a friend of mine was forming with his neighbours. The band's name was “None” –influenced by Meshuggah 's E.P. - and lasted for about a year, then we had some personnel changes and became “Manifesto”, we recorded a short 4-song E.P. and then I left. Three of my band mates are now in “ Dion ”.

So then I was by myself. I was studying music and trying in other bands and so on, when I started writing instrumental stuff. I liked it so much, I instantly decided I would keep doing it regardless of which band I was playing or not playing at the moment.

And so, between producing other bands, writing music for TV, doing session work, and playing guitar in M.P.D , I kept writing until now, when I decided I would record an album, release it and support it with live shows and the usual stuff.

This album is slated for september and I'm working like crazy to meet the deadline ;D

Leo.
