Alter
Ego (Panastudio Prod. 2000) was born to fulfil the need of merging
and sharing the different musical potpourri that have influenced Carlo
throughout his professional career and his encounters with musicians of
different cultures and nationalities. The CD represents a very well mixed
musical combination and the appearance of various guest musicians comes
as a natural consequence. We have Walter Calloni, Rocco Salzano
and Gaetano Fasano at the drums, Stefano Cerri, Dario Deidda, Joe De Marco
and Nello Giudice at the bass, Alfonso Deidda, Julian Mazzariello, Enzo
De Angelis and Antonio De Luise at the keyboards and Stefano Giuliano
at sax alto .
Interview on " Il Nuovo Mezzogiorno "
(June 1 st 2000):
…..Jazz-Rock, a difficult and compelling genre to play because of
its full an round harmonies and the high risk of just imitating the great
protagonists of the musical scene. Alter Ego sounds like a new product
with its own musical independence and at the same time enriched with pleasant
and original sounds. It is a record that goes beyond the old fashioned
composing harmonies and flows through newer composing phases.
Review AXE N.48 October 2000: …with his “Alter
Ego” Carlo Fimiani earns the status of a high class musician among
the most promising artists of the Italian musical scene, his playing expresses
impressive technical skills accompanied by undoubtful good taste.
Carlo
Fimiani, previous guitarist for Sister Sledge and Hata and subsequently
partner with Tullio De Piscopo, is one of the most talented
musician on the national jazz-rock scene. As a guitarist gifted with an
astounding and powerful technique, Carlo Fimiani shows in his first solo
CD a strong melodic and composing taste. All composition are original and
arranged by Fimiani himself. They show a big differentiation of genres.
You can listen through the oriental rhythm in 5/8 of “Dream”,
the hard ground breaking in “FunK Cannon” (with a powerful bass
line) and “Maple Top”, where the guitar’s distorted sound
melts wonderfully with the groove and the stability of Stefano Cerri
and Walter Calloni sounds.
The CD also offers a more relaxed sound full of atmosphere, as the melodies
of “3mm, the fascinating downbeat sound of “Alter
Ego” or the wonderful acoustic in “Plenilunio”
for guitar only.
