...I was born 23 years ago in a small town near Ravenna

I took  a guitar in my hands for the first time when I was 12....I began to play like a game.........In 1993 I decided with my friends (Empty Tremor) to create a band cause the town where we lived does'nt offer to us nothing special. At the beginning of this adventure everyone started to attend lessons and after an year  we began to play some famous rock-covers of Led Zeppelin, G'N R, Metallica..... anyone of us played any instrument before that time.....It was so hardly!!! After 2 years fourtunatly I knew Daniele Liverani that has helped me in my musical-growth cause he has shown me the great prog music world...I was attending a guitar course in that period but my teacher kicked me out cause he thought  that I'll would never do something good with guitar ( it was a very strange experience!:( )....never give up!!....

I started to follow Daniele's  advise and I began to listen  Paul Gilbert , Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Jason Becker and other  guitar heroes, I tried to play them songs and I'm sure it's the best method to learn guitar secrets...in the same time we recorded Apocolokyntoosys album, I was 14 and it was a particoular experience for me cause I didn't really  understand nothing of that situation....some years later and some thousands hours  spent listening Dream Theater and playing everyday we began to compose Eros & Thanatos ( I think Empty Tremor shows in that  album a good feeling that was grown in theese years..). This time I understood every problem in studio and i lived that experience with a different viewpoint...GREAT!....Unfortunatly this album haven't had a good distribution but I hope that you should listen it! 

Three years later Giovanni left the group...it was an hardly situation cause his voice  was a particoular peculiarity of our music..After his departure our music had a sensible changement cause our last album "The Alien Inside" has been composed without a singer, so it was a very particoular situation...The news about the possibility that Oliver Hartmann could take the role of Giovanni on our product felt me very excited....cause I think with his voice we have completed an excellent  work ! I hope that you think the same!!...good listen...
