The !S.A.D! is a solo project focused on live digital arts and (mostly) electronic music started in 2006 by Marco Donnarumma (Naples, 1984), multimedia artist, producer, live performer and bass player.
Coming from 4 years as bass player in a metal-core cover band of Pantera, I finally enjoyed digital world in 2000.
In the beginning i have worked with many collaborative projects such as Microplatform, Chiglia:e:remi, pinkie&S.A.D.E., performing at Live!IxEm ‘05, Venetian Industries, Homework Festival, LAT Venezia.
In 2006 i decided to focus my energies on this sad solo project and i began giggin’ around Italy. In November 2006 i partecipated to the 3rd edition of LPM (Live Performers Meeting - Avit Italy) in Rome, and nowadays i’m AR for LPM and active member of FLxER Team.
In 2007 i had my first solo tour in Eastern Europe, playing also at the historical Cross Club in Prague CZ during 'Messiah is Koming' event.
Since then i started to gig around regularly and livesets have become a fundamental and necessary aspect of the project. I have performed at several international events such as LaBiennale Architecture, Vision’r Festival, Rome White Night, Cinetrip Vj Torna.
Since January 2008 i’m on European Tour. By now i have performed in Berlin, Budapest, Paris, Chauteraux, Milano, Venice and i’m about to leave for Birmingham, Stuttgart, Lisbona and Porto.OFFICIAL WEBSITE:
