Giancarlo Erra of Nosound just announced his new solo album on Facebook:
My exciting announcement- I’m bringing out a new album on the 2nd July 2021!
Of all the albums I wrote in my career across my projects, Departure Tapes is arguably the most personal I ever did. And the one that was at the same time the most difficult and the most easy to come out.
It was written over the few months I assisted my father during a terminal illness. A few months during which what was always a distant but also tumultuous relationship, transformed into a deeper connection, into a non-spoken need to set things right on this final part of our life together.
After my father passed away, once back in UK I realised that while writing music to elaborate my feelings, I wrote an album. So all the tracks were recorded then live in my studio, to keep the original 'urgency of time' of the music without too many modifications in studio. I recorded live all the tracks using piano, analog synthesisers, sequencers, computer and even AI algorithms improvising.
Forgiveness, compassion, the bittersweet feeling of things ending just when they finally came true, despair but also hope, that's all that Departure Tapes is. And I hope it will be an emotional journey I'll share with all of you, each and every one of you with their own story to tell with it. I know my dad as well would be happy to share this story with all of you.
