2GI - Two Genial Idiots
Coded Rock

I start this review with a warning: this is not a review and it cannot even be one, as I am personally involved in the creation of this EP. That's why I've given an average rating to the album, I wouldn't even know how to evaluate it: "ogni scarrafone è bello à mamma soja." To avoid sounding even more cheeky, let us introduce ourselves, the 2GI are me, Simone Caronno and Andrea Casalicchio.

After various personal experiences in the musical field, we started fooling around with Sequencers, acoustic instruments, and Synths for the pure pleasure of experimentation. In our case, finding a common path that allowed us to collaborate without losing our identity as individuals was difficult, as I started my journey with Techno and Andrea was a disciple of Metal. With these 3 tracks, we believe we have finally managed to achieve that 50% - 50% democratic balance, a fusion between Jimi Hendrix and electronics, between Rock and the binary code of computers.

Coded Rock, precisely.

Talking about the tracks specifically would mean judging them or, at least, describing them, but I don't want to critique our children. I'd rather share some anecdotes and then leave the final judgment of this "thing" to you and your comments. First of all, the cover: what's Elvis doing with the body of a handsome twenty-year-old and a guitar neck instead of... well, you've already seen it. The fact is that we're good-humored souls (did someone say bastards?) and we try to incorporate a lot of Sense Of Humor into our pieces. After reversing the initials of this EP's title, the path to the cover became so clear that it seemed almost obvious.

Then, the sounds. Some come from my house: a radio that was about to run out of batteries and started working intermittently inspired "Radio sbunna". Others come from tweaking analog keyboards on the brink of antiquity, like the annoying little things you hear in "Mitsuo" just as the bass line comes in. Other appreciable contributions: my brother playing drums in the former bedroom of my grandmother (the album was mixed in her kitchen), used at the end of "Radio Sbunna," along with the track "Ah!" by Patrizio Fariselli, whom we thank for existing.

I don't know what else to say. I hope you like it, and if you don't, I await your snot.
In any case, our official website is here.
