April-May 2009 news: After helping with web development of the new version of EAR site, I'm doing some changes to my site as well:
an embedded player with medley mixes of my albums, a page with videos, a rearranged albums page, a new pictures/photos section.
All will be oline soon.
The booktrailer of the novel "SCATOLE CINESI (Chinese Boxes)" was published : you can find it on youtube as in italian version (here) as in english version (here) . The novel by Monica Lombardi is published in Italy by Edizioni Domino. You can find it also on the new "DEMOS & VIDEOS" page under development.
17th May: the new EAR site is online, check

March 2009 news: During last months I dedicated much time to orchestration, some new libraries were bought, some new tracks were created, also in the movie trailers style.
A couple of really old tracks of mine were also rearranged with modern and better orchestration.
I'm also producing a booktrailer for a detective-thriller novel written by an italian writer and published by a little publishing house. Could be the next one will be a fantasy genre.
Meanwhile the music label I'm affiliated with, Earth Academy Records, is having promoted on a japanese national radio: a mobile web site has been created for the occasion.
Visit http://mobi.earthacademy.org/ (also in japanese language version): you can find there also ringtones of label artists songs for your mobile phone, included mine.

January 2009 news: First of all, Happy New Year to all of you.
The new album "NOH TIS: Extended Score" finally is available also on ITunes now; it's in the iTunes Plus format, so no DRM limiting the use on various players. The 30 secs demos on Apple's store capture the right essence of every track of the album.
So the digital distribution is completed for now.
In the meantimes I acquired some new instruments and libraries, and thinking about another one or two orchestral libraries: this just to enhance the sound I wish to accomplish and the kind of tracks I intend to compose.
During Christmas festivities a new track was composed (with the new sound of acoustic piano I have now), a musical idea that was lying in the closet for almost ten years, waiting to be developed.
It's this the star for a new album?
Probably yes. We'll see which one of the two kind I've in mind since some time.. ;) |

November 2008 news: Today, 21th of november, I finally released "NOH TIS: Extended Score": you can find the PRE-release directly from this site.
I shipped CD's to CDbaby last week, so I hope it will be available soon onto CDbaby and iTunes: it's up to them now.
Also this time I restricted/limited the digital distribution of the album to main vendors only.
26th: The new album is on CDbaby.

October 2008 news: The new album NOH: Extended Score is artistically completed.

July 2008 news: Time for a long vacation, see you in september. :)
However I will work onto NOH Extended Score, but not on the musical tracks.
In the meanwhile this month the last not finished track of NOH Extended Score had a big step toward completing its composition.
The musical video
of "Miss You So Much" has been published onto myspacetv (better quality) and youtube (worse quality). Just insert my name and surname in the "search" function of both services and you can find it without any mistake.
Meanwhile NOH: Themes arrived also at iTunes now and is available in iTunes Plus format.

June 2008 news: Again had and still having health problems.
Anyway I finally released "NOH TIS: Themes": today (02 june) is the PRE-release directly from here.
I shipped CD's to CDbaby and done all my part of things to set up the album, so it will be available soon onto CDbaby and iTunes: it's up to them now. Last time they were quick with my albums on both vendors.
This time I restricted/limited the digital distribution of the album to main vendors only.
24 june update: the album arrived at CDbaby just a few days ago (it took a lot to arrive in USA this time. Last week I began to think about the pack was gone lost). It's still under processing for publication on their site.

May 2008 news: Due to a particular illness/sickness, I wasn't able during last month to sit and work at computer and finish the last affairs for the album. Other affairs (not musical) got away also their times and needed efforts..
Now getting better I had the chance to work for the final things for the album, so I will be able to begin to release "NOH TIS Themes" (starting from this site) in a week or less (today is 20th of May).
Thankyou for your patience. |

March 2008 news: Musical and artistical work on "NOH: Themes" seems to be concluded [at last!! :)) ].
The new album is now under final revisions and management phases.
Latest March update: rethinking about the final tracklist, so some change happened.. |

January 2008 news: Working a lot and hard on first of the two new albums of No Ordinary Human, TIS project.
Working over guitar recording, mixing and also various fixing on already completed compositions.
A new cover graphics is also under producing.
In the meanwhile someone near the vocalist is working on a video for the song "Miss You So Much": we were shown already a promising first demo version. This would be the first musical video for us. :) |

November 2007 news: All albums (republished under EAR catalog) are now also on CDbaby.com.
Waiting for next step now.
Update: all of them are already also on iTunes (they were quick): check your local store if interested.
In the meanwhile good news about the creative
side for NOH composition: I got on work a new guitarist on the vocal track of the album ("Miss You So Much"), and he is a darn of a good player!
He's italian, but lives in the USA now. He played guitars (on stages and studios) for famous musicians here in Italy long tme ago. There is a chance that he will contribute also on other tracks of album, where guitar parts are present already in the arrangements.
And yes, this will probably delay again the finishing of the two new albums, but anyway it would have been delayed all the same for other matters .

October 2007 news: Due to bureaucratic and technical matters, the release of "No Ordinary Human -TIS" is delayed and will not happen in October as previously planned. I'm sorry for this.
However the artistical work over the album is not yet finished.
I'm close in getting an agreement with independant UK label Earth Academy Records (yes, those who published "World Wide Kind 2" compilation), and so Andrea Priora will be officially part of the label artist roster, and will produce albums under the label name.
I'll keep informed about more news.

September 2007 news: Back on work on site updating with new evolved infos about the new albums... and of course back on work on "No Ordinary Human -TIS" music! ;-)
Finally updated medley mixes of all remastered albums, included new medley mixes of the 2 albums of "No Ordinary Human -TIS" album. The 160 kbit quality files are in the music/songs section of this site, check them. |

July 2007 news: Direct digital downloads of albums are now available in MP3 format at 192 kbit quality.
No DRM protection limits were added, so files are playable on all players.
Color files of booklet graphics of albums are included with every download. The download option is present on the updated albums page, together with the option of the purchase of the audio cd (high quality CD-Rs with color booklets, inlays and CD labels).
For the digital release event every album was carefully remastered, and now all albums feature the best quality they have ever had, as on audio CD as on MP3 files.
The demo files and medley mixes on this site (or on linked pages) aren't updated yet. We apologize for that, please we ask you to be patient.
They will be updated as soon as possible with files originated from the new mastered recordings..

June 2007 news: "No Ordinary Human -TIS" album project goes on, as fast as possible. However it will see light in a different form respect what planned during the past months, that is no more as a double CD album only. That means that now the album will be split into two separate single CD albums:
"No Ordinary Human TIS - Themes"
"No Ordinary Human TIS - Extended Score"
The first
CD will feature most of the tracks with main and strong anthemes composed for the NOH project, while the second CD will feature the rest of the tracks and those which have a more action or scoring feel.
And the project will be distributed around in such version, the two separate albums.
With such form of the project it's not excluded that a third CD of NOH, with new tracks, could come to life during next year.
Anyway a double CD special edition too will be available from this website only, featuring the original planned trackist for the two CDs.
During summer covers, graphics and sleevenotes will be revisioned, and at least the first CD will be ready for the end of september, with the second following soon after.
