Formula Indie Sessions : Interview with Federico Gasparini
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
The Yellow Submarine’s cartoon with the Beatles in it . My sweet childhood’s memory !
How did your passion for creating music begin?
When I was a kid , being sourranded by vynils and movies like 8 mile and Shine , (a movie about a real life concert pianist) , got me into music, the sounds proposed , the idea of hearing someone’s else music thanks to your hands , the joy of classical music. It all led me to a desire, making music or at first , to find out more about it. My first creative approch began writing poemes, then it all came down to music .
What’s the story behind your current music project?
Seguiamo Il Flusso (translated let’s follow the flow) is my new single wichch came out this april. The track is a deep electro experiment. I wanted this track to be an evolving journey for the listener. Through sound editing, volume control, it stops, and it flows as much as your days , highs, and lows .
