MUSIC is the most true expression of our SOUL

About Me

I AM NOT JUST A UNIT TO INCREASE YOUR FRIEND LIST, I WILL DENY ANY REQUEST COMING FROM PEOPLE WHO: HAVE TOO MANY FRIENDS,NEVER REPLY TO COMMENTS OR JUST SEND THE SAME AUTOMATIC MESSAGE TO EVERYONE,POST JUST SHORT SAMPLES OF THEIR MUSIC,AND SO ON. Read my short introduction below and you'll understand better my reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- ---I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4-------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------Hi, I am a sax player (tenor,alto and soprano) from Sardinia,Italy,i also play piano and keyboards and various electronic stuff. Unlike many people on myspace, i am not here to sell any record or to advertise myself in a lucrative way,what i believe spaces like myspace should be is to help the free circulation of ideas through the barriers of genres,nationalities,pro or amatorial,famous or not famous,blah blah blah. The point should be to let our own musical ideas to be known by as much musicians and even just music lovers as possible, and also of course to know other musicians ideas especially when they are so different from our own. I noticed unfortunatelly not many on myspace think this way, but i guess if you are still reading this you might think the way i do. So i put whole tracks and not just samples,you can also download my tunes and let them be heard by your friends, that will make my efforts worth it. I am not going to tell about my musical experiences,collaborations and so on, i just think music can talk always better than words,just briefly i played many different styles,had some important collaboration here and there,and mostly i worked as free lance, as i am now. I had some musical projects of my own some years ago, some good other less, and i just spent the last years not doing much of my own and just working with other musicians bands. So myspace has been like a sort of inspiration again for me to work on my own musical ideas again, i'll keep changing tracks on a regular basis, and hopefully soon with some new stuff. For now i am just putting a selections of the things i did in the last recent years. I am also a pianist wannabe, so if you check my top friend list you'll find there my other myspace page also under my name marcello carro. Hope to have some feedback about my music from you and i'll be more than happy to contribute with my humble feedback about yours. Thanx for reading this.

Sounds Like: I would like people to say I sound like Marcello Carro,sometimes people told me i was sounding a bit like Grover Washington J.R. which is a great compliment but i have to say if i did it was purely casual since i only rencently started to listen to him after many told me i was sounding alike. I listened to a lot of music in my life so it's hard to say who I sound alike, too many influences.------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Video 1: Live In Cagliari,June 2005..
