interview
Let’s say that the style has always
been more or less that, that is punk
with pop and alternative influen-
ces. A couple of years ago I spent
a period of complete abstinence
from the music and then resumed
writing and now I’m with the solo
debut.
What does the title of your re-
cord mean?
During the production of the cd
I often went to Glauco Gabriel-
li, the artistic producer, to record
after the morning shift, so metimes
I had so full of balls to wake up
early that for a period I started to
postpone the alarm until it became
impossible, at six and twenty-seven
precisely (instead of six) was the
pinnacle of this... We just missed
going to work in my pajamas. One
day I told Glauco about this and
decided that the title was suppo-
sed to be Seieventisette. This record
was born and finished in a period
of my life quite delicate, beautiful
and also “asshole” in some ways,
post-adolescence, being married,
having responsibilities, turning
Perina
Pop and “author” songs are in the
debut of Michele Perina, Seie-
ventisette, rich in versatility and
colors.
Do you want to tell your story?
Since I was 16/17 years I have
always played in the band, first with
Just Another Illusion and then for
several years with the Camp Lion
(an album and an ep to report).
22
thirty and a whole set of doubts,
fears and hopes that have marked it
particularly and that I think we all
have to go through. I think the six
and twenty-seven on the alarm is
emblematic of how I lived in part
that stage... (“Fuck the duties, I just
want to sleep fuck!!!”).
How was the process of making
the record?
Substantially, the formula
closest to me is more or
less the same, guitar voi-
ce strop and refrain, but
this record was born and
grew in a different way
from what I expected. It happened
that among the material selected
to compose the album there were
also only 30 seconds of a melody
that suggested something good, or
a more complete song that then
became quite another thing... Then
that same material was taken and
developed at the pc. Let’s say that
the process was a bit this, and for
those who know it is precisely the
influence of the producer and
friend musician Glauco Gabrielli,
passed in time from
an alternative rock
scene to a more electro-
nic and hip hop.
Can you tell something about
the genesis of “Innegabile bra-
vura”?
“Innegabile bravura” is a song that
I’m particularly proud of, it came
out in 5 minutes and re-
mained more or less the
same. During production
Glauco was able to impro-
ve it considerably with the
addition of the piano and
the drum machine... Once
finished I could not wait to make
a video. It is a song that manifests
itself as a confessional for me, it
speaks of fears and torments.
If you had to choose three and
only three albums that particu-
larly influenced you, wich ones
would you indicate?
Enema of the state of Blink 182,
Siamese Dream of Smashing Pum-
pkins and Morning Glory of Oasis.
But I would put in many and many
more!
