Nexus Live
V-Ger is an electronic project based on live performance using machines.
It's not the usual Laptop DJ or MIDI-Man where almost all the show is pre-recorded; is based on playng the equipment in a loop mode making the Live Jam and remixing V-Ger original songs on the fly.

Why this name?
V-Ger is a living machine that appears in the first movie of Star Trek (Star Trek the Movie).
Originally this machine was the probe Voyager 6, launched in the XXI contury with the mission to explore and discover the unknown galaxy and come back to the earth bringing his knowledge to the maker (human beings).
Stranded in space after being captured by a black hole, the probe was rescued by a race of living machines that fixed him, spawned the conciousness in him and sent back to the maker to complete his program mission. On his way back V-Ger (so-called because on the plate with the name some letters was erased leaving the letters V and GER) grows and feel incomplete with his life made only of logic, so he decide to merge with the creator in order to gain a soul.
This idea of a living machine feeling incomplete because of a missing soul is at the base of the music I'm composing, finding too often the electronic music too 'cold'.

Do you play live?
V-ger was born maily to play live,with equipment that allws the performance to be changed according to the audience mood. No midi chain, no prerecorded bases, everything absolutely live!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The new digital tecnologies gives to us (unuknown artits) to deliver our work to a wider area of audience, having quick feedback and more contact with the supporters. Avoiding this technologies is more than stupid, is useless.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I don't know. It depends on the according and freedom in creating music.Now I can produce tons of song because I'm free to create waht I want.
