March/April 2012 news:
My left shoulder is "less worse" now (but far from healed) and now boths houlders permit me to work a lot at computer and keyboards.
I'm doing editing on some videoclips: "Mass Effect Tribute" was already published on youtube (you can watch it on my channel polarisglow or in the video section on this site), now I'm working on "Across Deep Space" and my Jarre's "Oxygene 4 remix".
A rework of "Free My Heart" is at a good point, and I'm waiting for my shefriend to come here at my place for arrange together its music to images and footage for a video dedicated to ISF (Ian Somerhalder Foundation) Italy.
I'm working also on the first release of my new music newsletter: I will try to keep it monthly and put also here somewhere a copy of every number, of course in an lightened version when I'll put in some special/gift for the subscribers.

February 2012 news:
After 3 months of all projects on freeze I restarted a bit my work on them.
Still my arm tendons often hurt, but they let me work or stay at computer more time now, however sleep positions still give me problems or pain.
Still I can't play piano keys (especialy with my left arm) but I try to not give up with music.

Working on TRANCE FLARES RELOADED album had some progress: tracks in playlist at a good point of working are, Destiny Reloaded, Back To Believe, Reinverted Polarity, Rise As A Phoenix, Trancepolar Express, Trancing In The Dark.
Destiny Reloaded had a deep revision and now the compositional-production side of it can be considered as finished.I need to check mastering and and make a revision of the videoclip.

In the meanwhile I also created a videoclip for the space track "Yamato" by Intelligentsia (from album "Music For Mothership"). Here's the youtube link: Intelligentsia-Yamato

January 2012 news: All my music and projects are frozen since months: why? you could ask.
After almost 3 months still I can't play music or work (every kind of work): at half october the pain that during august hit my left shoulder came back, again totally blocking for days my left arm for the 2nd time.
Initially I tried to work at computer but the pain got worse and started even right shoulder to suffer pain.
I h
ad to give up: I can't stay many hours at computer playing, working, even writing or using mouse because shoulders start to "burn" and pain arises and make me suffer for hours or even days.
I have to pay attention with everything of daylife: lifting heavy things for example, driving car (I didn't do it for 2 months) or even in which positions I can sleep: all produce pain in my shoulders.
It's more than 11 years I don't suffer this way with my shoulders).
I'm just sick... my shoulders (left is the worst) don't heal this time: cures done till now were unsuccessfull at resolving the problems.
There is something deeper for sure causing all these pains and problems (I mean: can't be just a normal periarthritis scapulo humeral...), and we are investigating.
Really I don't know when I could get back to music (and normal life), that's very frustrating.
Sorry for these rantings.

Well, anyway... HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL of you that follow me and my music. :)

 
October 2011 news: Working on TRANCE FLARES RELOADED album is progressing.
New tracks in playlist at a good point of working are now: Destiny Reloaded, Back To Believe, Reinverted Polarity, Rise As A Phoenix, Trancepolar Express, Trancing In The Dark.
-
September 2011 news: Working finally onto new album: TRANCE FLARES RELOADED.
Will be the new version of my old and best selling album onto MP3.com during years 1999-2002.
The tracklist will contain new editions of some of the original tracks and new ones in place of some others.
I've already completed also a music video featuring the track "Destiny Reloaded", a modern remix of the original track "Destiny", and I will use it as a promotional tool.
-
June 2011 news: Not done so much (often away from home): a few new compositions and experimenting onto a couple of old tracks. Anyway I'm working onto the video for "Destiny 2011" during these days, making some progress.
-
April 2011 news: No relevant news. I wish I could produce more things. I have many ideas, but lack time and concentration often. Working on something anyway.
-

February 2011 news: It seems I forgot to update the website for a while during this last fall-winter...
Not many new tracks were done recently for two reasons:
1) I also restyled some 2009-2010 composed tracks using the new strings library I purchased during fall

2) with the new year I was busy in converting my DAW to Windows7 at 64bit, and I had some technical problems installing it and now getting it work well: still I have some crahses not yet resolved or fully understood.
Also installing the libraries, synths and plugins needed a lot of time... and still some I don't use since some time are not reinstalled yet. However I still have my Win XP installed and working for old projects and not musical stuff.


A few new soundtrack-style tracks were done.
Now I'm working on a rework of my old dream-trance track Destiny: I don't know if this will bring on the album Trance Flares Reloaded and to finalizing it, but the intention is that.

July 2010 news: Not much to say this month.
As you can see in the music section - latest tracks only 5 tracks were produced during this year till now.
After a really hard and sad period with family troubles, I came back to composition a couple of months ago.
I'm half way to a possible new album in the genre of cinematic soundtrack kind of stuff, but we'll see during next winter: time will tell. Now I'm having a new pause from music, because I'm dedicating to other things/projects (translating in US/English the script of No Ordinary Human is one of them) and soon I'll be off for vacation.
So, have a nice vacation you all and take a rest from the daily stress. :)

-
April 2010 news: Back to music composition again.
I've fInished my new orchestral-cinematic template from which to start with new compositions. So I completed also a new track that was lying around since some time: "Can We Live Forever?" gets the theme present in "Sally's Secrets", evolves and presents it in a more orchestral and epic sound version.
-
January 2010 news: This is a really hard and sad period of my life: first the breast cancer of my mother (surgery in october and then the post-surgery therapies), then the hospitalization of my father and sadly, after about 40 days, his death. My father passed away last week and you can guess my feelings in these days.
The last year ended in a bad way and the new year started even worse.
During last month I didn't compose anything new, just did some fixes to a couple of tracks and was busy in building an orchestral-cinematic song template (with old and new sound libraries I bought recently) that, together an already reduced music-time, kept me away from the composing side.
Anyway, it's time to do something I wished to do since some time, i.e. to make you listening to the medley mix demo of the tracks I produced during 2009, those tracks following my new soundtrack/cinematic musical path.
You can download it here: TheSoundsOf2009-medleymix
I recently put it together and mixed the tracks clips simply in order from the oldest to the newest.
-
November 2009 news: Recently I composed a short track for the EastWest 2009 contest. I had to use only their instruments libraries I own, nothing else (real or virtual) was permitted... with a limit of about 2 minutes long.
"Day Of Reckoning" is an epic soundtrack style track you can download here (link removed).

October 2009 news: I can now probably say that I left the new age sound path and have taken the soundtrack/cinematic one, with a more Hollywood sound, but not totally... I'm not giving up synths and other sounds.
That is I'm not doing now pure orchestral tracks as John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, but in a more mixed way as other composers for films and videogames.
This last one is the field I would appreciate more to enter, who knows if I'll make to open an other window on it one day.
Also for the dance/trance tracks, I'm not much interested in doing them today...
cinematic things is what I love to do nowadays.
The two No Ordinary Human albums were a first step in it, now I have to say that I've learned and improved much my cinematic sound.
Probably I will publish a medleymix to show the works done during this year.

-
September 2009 news: Just working on a new soundtrack style musical piece.
Update : actually the tracks since september are 3 now.
-

June-July 2009 news: No news. Not composing too much during the last 3 weeks of this period.
Almost ready for a vacation at sea place. ;-)
I take the chance to wish everyone a nice summer ! :)

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.

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.. ;)

-
