Biography
IL RUMORE BIANCO (White Noise) are a band from Verona, Italy, who released their debut EP in November 2013. Three members (guitarist/sax player Michele Zanotti, keyboardist Thomas Pessina, and bassist Alessandro Danzi) played together in a band between 2009 and 2011, when they decided they ventured out on their own, wanting to create more complex and elaborate material. They recruited lead vocalist Eddy Fiorio, second guitarist Federico Lonardi, and drummer Umberto Sartori, and in 2012 launched the new band.
"Mediocrazia" contains four songs, about 28 minutes long–actually, close to the length of several of the classic RPI releases from the 1970s! The compositions are very good and the playing quite mature. Besides basing their roots of 1970s RPI, the band claims influences from jazz, electronic, and ambient music. For sure these are present, particularly jazz (in fact one can detect some Area at several points), especially in their intimate approach. They do not embrace a full symphonic sound often seen in 1970s RPI (think "Zarathustra"), but rather prefer a closer, gentler style. Not to say they don't rock, as the first song in particular has enough Hammond to make Jon Lord smile! But the overall style of their composition lends itself to close scrutiny as opposed to walls of sound.
Definitely one to experience, and with lots of potential for great things to come.
