Empire
Of Light is the debut album by Ylium, a duo from Venice, Italy and
trained by Alessandro Cavazzana (guitars, keyboards, drum machines,
computer programming ) and Marco Rodella (drums, percussion),
accompanied by other musicians during live performances. The two
members - which were initially three with Giulio Ramazzina, who has
since left the project for personal reasons - they come from the
garage/indie rock scene.
Eager
to broaden their musical horizons by experimenting beyond simple
electrical instruments and by virtue of a growing interest on the
part of Alessandro Cavazzana in IDM, the band begins to program
computers and set up drum machines to incorporate these devices
during the sessions in the rehearsal room. Guitars, bass and drums
are not absolutely set aside, since the ultimate goal is always to
give birth to a perfect match between what you plan and what you
play.
The
result of all this is "Empire of Light": an album that
mixes experimental rock, electronica and some avant-garde. Although
the background music of reference is essentially British and German
contemporary, there are elements of new wave , 70's krautrock, Miles
Davis and some minimalist composers of our time, such as Steve Reich.
The processing of the disc began in the summer of 2012, the period in
which they recorded and mixed the first three tracks, which initially
were part of a self-produced and and self-distributed EP, which was
released in February of 2013.
They
then composed a dozen songs, with five of these, along with three Ep
tracks, included in the album Empire Of Light, which was completed in
February 2014. Empire of Light was recorded mainly in Treviso. Two
songs, A Bit Skeptical and Bad, were recorded in 2012
at the Synchro Studio in Adria by Giordano Sandalo - sound engineer
who has more than ten years working experience - thanks to winning a
contest for bands in which the group participated in July 2011 with
their previous musical project.
"Your
Life In Unique Meaning"
(the title is the dissolution of Acronym YLIUM) is the first single
from the Venetian duo: " It
stems from an attempt to re-arrange an old piece of the previous
group”,
explains Alessandro Cavazzana “trying
to propose it as a kind of counterpoint to instrumental guitar, drum
machines and wind instruments, and then using it for personal
projects; but when Marco and Giulio heard it, they got very intrigued
and decided to work on it all together. It took several months to be
finalized, but after a work of almost a year, in May, 2013, Unique
Meaning in Your Life was ready ."
Ylium
are Alessandro Cavazzana and Marco Rodella. In 2012, after playing
several years in a garage rock band - together with Giulio Ramazzina,
who then left the project - they started to bring electronic devices
into the rehearsal room . The result is represented by eight tracks
that would form Empire Of Light, their debut album: a mix of
experimental rock, drum machines and avant-garde music.
