Nosound is an Italian progressive rock band that started as a vision by Giancarlo Erra. All of the early recordings were composed, played, produced, engineered, and released by Erra. As time progressed, this music became more popular and the demand for live performances increased. Giancarlo then assembled a band of gifted musicians who would eventually become full time members to play the music of Nosound. The band is noted for playing music in several different genres including progressive rock, post rock, and ambient music. Nosound has been influenced by artists such as Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Arvo Pärt, Brian Eno, and Genesis. The band's latest release, Lightdark, has seen a good deal of success in several countries and is growing in popularity.
[edit] Band history[edit] Giancarlo Erra era 2002-2006Nosound started as a project by Giancarlo in 2002. He created several solo works, at least one of which is unreleased. His early demo recordings date back to 1998 with an eight track demo titled Radici and a 19 minute instrumental track on the demo CD Maslova. Bassist Alessandro Luci contributed to some of the early tracks. Giancarlo describes the music as "evocative and intense, with personal songwriting". Waves on Russia was the first officially released Nosound demo in 2002, followed by the first promo which was for Sol29 [edit] Nosound era 2006-presentThese demos generated enough interest for Giancarlo to play his music live. Since there was no "band" per se, it was necessary to assemble a number of quality musicians that could play his music. With time Giancarlo found enough musicians to create a full band. The official Nosound debut album Sol29 was released in March 2005. A short tour followed and resulted in a live DVD The World is Outside in 2006, which contained unreleased material. With all the positive feedback from the live material on the DVD, the very limited edition (100 copies) live CD 'Slow, it goes' was issued in the first half of 2007. The CD was recorded live at Stazione Birra, Rome on 24 Jan 07 and included a Lightdark promo video. In anticipation of the new album, the exclusive EP Clouds, containing three out takes from the new album Lightdark was released. This lineup continued through Clouds, which saw a change of guitarists when Gabriele Savini was replaced with Paolo Vigliarolo. Lightdark, Nosound's 2nd official album was released in February 2008. It features collaborations with singer Tim Bowness (No-Man) and Marianne DeChastelaine on cello. A remastered edition of Sol29 was released in conjunction with Lightdark. In July 2008 the band signed to the new post-progressive label Kscope/Snapper, and it's planning to play a few festivals before returning to the studio later this year to start recording their 3rd release due in 2009. A new 2cd digipack edition of studio album Lightdark will be released on September 15 on Kscope label. This 2 disc edition of the album includes an exclusive five track bonus disc including the video for Lightdark. [edit] Band members
