ILLUSIONS ("ILLUSIONI", in italian) is my latest solo album. It was given to my friends as Christmas gift, and now i partially publish it on the net.
The cd is very etherogeneus, it has 12 songs (10 original piece, 2 covers/rearrangements) which go from soundtrack-style music, to rock/hard rock/progressive, to ethnic, ambient, new age, classical...
You will find the complete tracklist with download of all the songs (or part of them...typically 1.5 minutes long ) in my website, along with some comments regarding the songs themselves and the production.

thanks!

This is really good, Matteo. A versatile journey through different musical influences with constant respect to ambient moods. Just the "Twins" inspired track is not quite my brew... also I think, it wasn't "Twins" that inspired you there, but "Twin Peaks"... The Vai-style guitar track is great, and I think, "Il mare della tranquillità" makes my favourite. Would love to hear it in full length!
cheers,
Joe

As much as I would like to hear it, I haven't been able to. It keeps buffering and for a long time and still no music. I have a fast connection, so I know the speed of my PC is not the problem.

you can also download the single mp3 tracks without using the webplayer...
here it seems to work!

for example:

let me know!

Hi. You have some good music on your side. Many flavours. You site looks good, but it drains my CPU (1.3GHz). it goes to 100%, and even just changing tabs in my browser (firefox) takes a minute.
