Melting
Clock is a musical project born in the Faculty of Physics, University of Genoa,
in 2001. At the time the group’s aim, which brought together experienced
musicians and beginners, was sheer amusement and musical growth, pursued
through the covering of songs by more and less known bands of the progressive
rock scene. Over the years the pieces studied have influenced Melting Clock’s
sound: much attention has been paid to some of the most interesting
contemporary bands such as Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Opeth, Ayreon, without
however neglecting milestones that have made the history of the progressive genre
like Pink Floyd, Genesis and PFM. Melting Clock have undergone many line up
changes: alongside the four founding members Sandro Amadei (keyboards and
vocals), Stefano Amadei (guitars), Alessandro Bosca (bass guitar) and Francesco
Fiorito (drums), Simone Caffè (guitars) and Emanuela Vedana (vocals) more
recently joined the band. The skills acquired and the renewed enthusiasm led to
the decision to devote to the composing of original music. Melting Clock’s
style is characterized by evocative and powerful sounds, which aim at
immediately capturing the listener - without giving up elements of complexity -
and conveying a strong emotional charge. Lyrics are in our mother tongue,
Italian. We fully follow the spirit of progressive music in our free approach
to writing and interest in contamination from the most diverse genres.
DESTINAZIONI
develops the theme of travel in all its meanings. The dreamlike flavor of
"Antares" contrasts with the harsh denunciation of society in
"L’Occhio dello Sciacallo" and "Banalmente"; the
suffocating alienation of "Vetro" dissolves in the redemption of
"Strade Affollate"; "Caleidoscopio" and "Sono
Luce" explore different facets of the inner journey, while
"Destinationi" is a metaphor for the cyclical nature of Time. The
journey of DESTINATIONI is characterized by sounds recalling the contemporary
progressive scene in an original and creative way, with elements ranging from
its more symphonic side to psychedelic rock and hints at acoustic or aggressive
passages.
