Digitally remastered edition of this 2011 live album. Started as a one-man studio project in 2005 by multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra before evolving then into a full band, Nosound inventively combines influences from ”70s psychedelia, ”80s/”90s ambient, soundtracks, contemporary alternative and post-rock. The music is evocative and intense with personal songwriting and uses a variety of vintage and modern electronic instruments. Influences range from Pink Floyd to Brian Eno, from Radiohead to Sigur Ros, passing through rock and electronic music. The album was recorded during the rehearsal process for a special one-off Nosound solo gig that Erra performed in London in August 2010. For this intimate gig, Giancarlo created new track arrangements along with a new live setup that allowed him to play keyboards and/or acoustic guitar while singing as well as using and recreating all the original sounds and effects from the original studio albums. No backing tracks were used, only loops/tapes and real live played instruments. The tracks were recorded straight from stereo outputs with no overdubs or edits involved resulting in unique and personal interpretations of the best tracks from the band”s catalogue.
