editor’s words
TRAKS MAGAZINE changes its
face. Twelfth number coming, we
made some thoughts and we de-
cided to turn away from the past.
The intuition to publish a magazi-
ne dedicated to Italian independent
music in English could have see-
med funny, at first, but it worked.
The contacts and views, recorded
by distributing the magazine on so-
cial media, via email and through
publishing systems such as Issuu,
Yumpu, Joomag, have always re-
ached more than flattering num-
bers. But it’s not enough anymore.
And maybe even the labels are not
enough anymore: what is indepen-
dent music today? And what is Ita-
lian music? We have always under-
stood it as “music played by Italian
musicians”, obviously without bor-
ders of any kind, not even langua-
ge. So an Italian record is an Ita-
lian record in whatever language is
sung. But we want to break down
other fences and devote attention
to the most interesting foreign re-
cords of the period, always with
interviews, reviews, news. And we
will do it in two “twin” editions,
one in English, one in Italian, to
increase to a total, 360° usabili-
ty. In this first “new” issue, you’ll
find that Chiara Orsetti inter-
viewed Zibba for our cover story,
but we also chatted with a legend
like Colin Moulding for his
TC&I partnership, and also with
a new voice like Joshua Hyslop.
And with many Italian indie arti-
sts, like we always did.
Enjoy the reading!
