1. ..Tell me please when you decided your work would be music and could you tell me about your beginning?
2. Is Italo Disco your first music you made or...? How come you decided to make italo songs?
Darkness have been performed by Aquarius project. This song was pressed in small number of copies and it was lucky if we compare it with other songs, which not even see daylight. Can you tell me more about this song? Who was the Aquarius? What year did you make it, who wrote it etc.? Darkness was written by myself in 1985, cause I finally decided to make dance songs too. Its wasnt really for the money. I liked good dance music too, therefore recording disco or pop was rather the same for me. I met the drummer Sergio Cerutti and some other musicians, and we created the Aquarius project. At the beginning, the Aquarius had to be a real band, but later I noticed that we were forced to change/add different musicians for each song. So it became a project. We also asked jazz vocalist Francesca Oliveri to sing a duet song with me: When The Snow Falls Down had to be a dance track too, but we later transformed it in a pop song. Francesca had a powerful voice, and she really was the right singer I was looking for a duet.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
