Bio
The adventure of the band began about 10 years ago. There were many alterations during the formation of the band (too many to list….), but Angelo remained faithful to the original oath: our lives for the music of 3x0. In 2004 the first homonymous EP was recorded and received high acclaim for its originality. Since then, the work of 3x0 in the Real World Studios has been continuous. The natural aptitude of the songwriter, Angelo, who has effectively been the driving force behind the 3x0 project, has continually improved. The interesting collaboration with Mauro Aimetti, the bass player, began in 2005. The original scripts, (harmony-melody-lyrics) arranged by Angelo, already characterized by an eccentric, artistic arrangement, are now able to assume a different colour and atmosphere thanks to the progbasso and that special “touch” of Mauro. In 2006 following many experiments and continual improvements, Angelo met John Snell, singer, composer and skillful guitarist from London, with whom there was an immediate, intense, mutual rapport. John manages to interpret and sing brilliantly the 3x0 songs. Line by line, the lyrics (first in Italian, then in English) and the melodies, are maximised through John’s depth of feeling and experience: a very interesting association. Now, to the spring of 2007, there is a recording session at the Real World Studios of Peter Gabriel with the collaboration of Ged Lynch, already drummer and percussionist with Peter Gabriel himself and other important stars of world repute.
A quality job rooted in ancient songs and Mediterranean sounds, epic vicissitudes and sensual women, heroic deeds of British knights and… the best sound of the world... cool
About
John Snell (vocals & ac. guitar): Highly talented artist from near Windsor: robust, sensual and evocatively rich voice, always manages to control and harmonise numerous voices along the same line of melody (!) He is extremely able with the acoustic guitar and even more so in the interpretation and personalization of the melodies and the lyrics - written in Italian and translated by Angelo – and to cleverly adapt them into his unmistakable style – Typical British Sound!
Angelo Marrocco (song writer - el. guitar & programming): His strong thought processes, inspired with folly/impulsiveness and sensual memories, his laptop, his guitar, his microsynth, together, give birth to the 3x0 compositions. Oblique harmonies, but sometimes so simple, they seem absurd (C/Am for a complete composition!!!), out of the ordinary patterns and a distinct, predisposition for the treatment of sound; then his irriplaceable delay and his evocative, sonic invasions with numerous types of slide, united and interwoven with multiple and unusual successions of analogic and digital effects.
Mauro Aimetti (progressive bass man & backing vocals): Listening first to the original versions of the songs, then the registrations made with Mauro, one realises that they are the same in essence, but the colours of the bass/low frequency have brought about a particular 3x0 production. He has a great technique, matured over years of study and positive experiences and cannot hide the most intimate nature of the 4 cord poet that comes forth each time he is held prisoner to those “strange melodies” (Tourist of Empty Spaces). It would be difficult to find a similar bass player, anywhere.
Ged Lynch (drum & percussion last recording session guest): "Ged Lynch was born and raised in the north of England where he first came to prominence with Platinum selling band Black Grape,playing both Drumset and Percussion. Since then he has worked consistently as a session player on many disparate recordings,mixing a love of hard groove playing with the freedom of expression and scope that Percussion provides. In 1999 he first worked for Peter Gabriel on the 'OVO' project,and does to the present day. In 2007 Ged formed 'Tug Music' along with Mark Jones and Daniel Blore composing music for tv/film and games. Recording Artists: Black Grape, Charlatans, Big Dog, David Sylvian, David Gilmour, Joe Strummer, Hanson, Natalie Imbruglia, Peter Gabriel, Chrissie Hynde, Tom Jones, Electronic (Johnny Marr / Bernard Sumner) Film SoundTracks include: The Batchelor, Sea monsters, The Jackal, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, 28 Days Later, Transmission, Snatch, Rabbit Proof Fence, 51st State, City by the Sea."
