[EXCLUSIVE]
Emilio De Biase is a guitarist Puglia, class ’76, strong classical music training. He began studying guitar at age 14, continuing at the Conservatory of Music “Umberto Giordano” in Foggia, continuing his exploration of music playing in many local bands and orchestras show.
Among the experiences as a session musician has collaborated with Dik Dik, Leano Morelli, Dino Federico Fazio of New Showman. In 1996 he founded the Nox Perpetua duo polistrumentistico (assisted by John Coppola on bass clarinet and text) that offers a mix of progressive death metal, classical and fusion, with whom he recorded three demo tapes. Between 2005 and 2010, teaches guitar at the Municipal School of Music Hall “Louis Smith” Torremaggiore.
[spoiler]Interplanetary Voyage Aboard Six Strings on the other hand, is a concept album of the artist, developed over four years of work, he sees Emilio fill the roles of composer and multi-instrumentalist, and as editor of the arrangements, mixing, mastering and artwork. The idea of the disc is to recall the atmosphere and the sounds of the cosmos.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts and time commitment all’elaborare this product, listening to the disc is very difficult and tedious. Leaving aside the relevance or otherwise of the sounds recorded with the cosmos and space, which would require too much subjective interpretation on the part of the writer, the common denominator of the tracks is the almost complete lack of ideas and variations. The guitar sound is sooooo the same throughout the disc, the same delay and reverb same or almost any texture of sounds, no significant issue, no repetition of phrases in the songs to serve as a “pretext” for the interest of the listener . Even the songs themselves are devoid of an articulated structure, you do not recognize verses or choruses, and are little more than a collection of backing tracks that support the exploits of our guitar artist, to the detriment of the success of the songs themselves. Often, though not always, the entries are disconnected from the rest of the music, as if they had been put there without a real need. The mix is flat and not very dynamic. While wanting to imagine that the author has tried to create more of the ethereal atmospheres that tracks canonically structured, this is absolutely not in keeping with the myriad of notes played and sounds, in fact, THE sound choice. Ultimately it appears necessary maturity composition, sore almost the majority of the guitarists of the last decades. You will lose it for hours to acquire the necessary expertise to perform tapping and fast scales, and you leave out the very exercise in composition, completely invalidating the significance of budding artists, who seem to share the songs to a gym to show how the licks learned under study.
What makes this hard monotonous a missed opportunity, is the fact that our Emilio De Biase padroneggerebbe also the guitar quite well. Clearly inspired by Steve Vai, both in the choice of the instrument, that the melodies, but especially in the use of tapping, although quantitatively a little ‘just sipped, De Biase is probably still far from being a guitarist absolute level, but certainly demonstrates a technique to master a certain level, you can certainly put to better any time soon.
