The Band Psicosuono was born in Milan (ITALY) in 2004, when Stefano De Marchi (guitar) and Elisabetta Giglioli (vocalist and keyboards) decided to start a brand-new rock progressive project up; their idea was to contaminate rock progressive with funky/blues/jazz/classic influences, using an original Italian poetic language to create the lyrics. The other band members – Antonello Colamonaco (bass) and Emanuele Luisi (drums) – joined the Psicosuono project in a second time, but their particular musical experience immediately shaped the Psicosuono sound.
PSICOSUONO (you may translate it as “sound of the psyche”) is a neologism to express the aim of the band: let the listener’s mind explore its light and dark sides, through poetry and emotions.
The band participate in various Italian music competitions and lives – as they believe that the live activity is as important as the studio one (if not more).
The Psicosuono style would remind in a personal way the ideas of great rock musicians as Pink Floyd, Genesis, PFM, Toto, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix…
The first album of Psicosuono, “AUT AUT” (2008) is available on-line and in music-stores. “AUT AUT” is on air in Italy, Venezuela, Greece, Brazil and U.S.A..
The first video-clip of Psicosuono, called “Iride” (2009), is on YouTube and it has been streamed on Sky TV too. It has recently been selected as finalist in the video-clip competition for italian indie projects “PIVI 2009”.
