I AM ALTERED - is a double album, a first collaboration between GalaeGala and Nickillus.  It tackles the issue of mental health.

We wanted to tell in music, the thin line that divides the being of sound mind and not being.
A musician now bereft of compositional ideas, turns in on himself and slips into alcohol and drug use.  Over time he becomes ill with schizophrenia, but a psychologist, a fan of his work, is determined to lead him back to health.
It takes a long time, but with intensive treatment, he finally does it.
The most rewarding thing for both protagonists is the return of a burning desire in the musician to make music again.

Track 08 deals with the suppression of paranoid delusion with a suitable cocktail of drugs.

EQUIPMENT -

GalaeGala - Korg 01 wfd - VSTI Korg Workstation - Korg Fm7 - 8
Alchemy - Electra x Tone- Tone Gladiator - DN-e1 Magix

Nickillus - Magix - Piano One, Upright Bass, Analog Synth, Revolta 2, DN-e1, Space Pad, Beatbox, LoopMaker
Other - Iris 2, Curve 2.5, Alchemy (Dream Voices), VoicePlex, Revitar 2.01, DSK Dynamic Guitar, EZ Poly, Addictive Drums 2

My sincere thanks go out to Galaegala for affording me the opportunity to collaborate with such a stalwart of the community here.  He is a delight to work with.  His own gorgeous, ambient sounds and my own less refined offerings provided him plenty of challenges in this collaboration.  I hope you'll agree he has done a wonderful job - as usual.

Hi Franco & Nick, such an imaginative track and certainly fits the brief.  Well done to the two of you.  Another polished piece to adds to the favs list and to your repetoir.  All the best, Rob.

Here the experiment worked, a gradual increase is experienced , I think that paranoia is very well reflected , but I think also that this theme song ended when he was better, his nickillus music with galaegala presents many variants and I like that because it leaves room creativity and imagination of the listener , it was good to hear that, especially to see you work with the uprigth bass , I have not bought but I found something like that can replace , it was good to hear this.

Hi Nick & Franco:

I must say that the both of you have done splendid performances throughout this indepth series, highlighting this extremely important human experience that so many suffer from.  Music has a way of illuminating things that merely talking about simply cannot achieve.

A very successful and socially relevant collaboration continues...

Hey there Nick abd Franco

You two guys have really got it together and you work in tandem extremely well.  The pounding drum and rather scattered notes of the base with maybe a pan flute (?) mixed in depict to me what goes on in the mind of the mentally ill as they are overwhelmed by high and low tones and the randomness of sounds,

Great presentation

Trish

Merci à Franco pour l'invitation,

 

Mon ami Nick, je t'ai félicité pour tes 3 dernières compositions que je viens d'écouter et commenter.

Celle ci est faites en collaboration avec notre ami Franco et ça se ressent, je reconnais son style mélangé au tien, j'aime aussi, mais comme ce morceau fait parti d'un album, je reconnais les sonorités, les différentes mélodies qui ressemblent pas mal à d'autres qui font parties d'autres musiques de cet album, donc un peu moins charmé et surpris surtout.

Mais bon, cela reste une impression bien sûr, et c'est comme d'habitude une très bonne musique, avec de la recherche de sons, un très bon mixage.

l'intro est originale avec ce son de synthé qui monte. après, cela reste quand même original, malgré l'impression de déjà entendu, mais comme je dis souvent, c'est le danger de faire non seulement de la musique expérimentale mais de travailler aussi sur un thème unique, on a tendance à chaque nouvelle musique, de vouloir rappeller ce thème en utilisant des sonorités et certaines petites mélodies déjà utilisées, donc cela enlève l'effet de surprise.

Ca reste un très bel album, original et unique, et bravo ! pour cela et pour cette super et superbe collaboration,

Amicalement.

THE GREAT BIG DOUBLE ALBUM !!!!

Last changed by Sandro_Glavina_Channel on 5/9/2016, 5:56 PM, changed a total of 1 times.

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Hi Nick, Franco,
This song has a creativity 'very particular, the theme on this album is very challenging, but your ideas are brilliant and convey powerful emotions.
Very very very good.

ich bin ein normaler Mensch der gute Musik zu schätzen weiß...ich denke mal das wir alle auf irgend eine weise Musikalisch sind ich selber finde Musik absolut geil..ob Oper oder Rock und Klassik..da kenn ich keine Grenzen.Die Musik sollte mich ..na ja..wie sagt man..schon bewegen,beeindrucken oder wenigstens ein krippeln hervorrufen. Wir haben heute die möglichkeiten selber Musik zu Produktzieren.. also lasst einfach eure Ideen freien lauf.

Hi Nickillus & Franco,

Wow! Quite an excursion into an altered state. I would say that you definitely have translated this altered state into a musical essay on troubled minds.

Well done!

 

Cheers,
