![]() Musically speaking I wanted to give this idea of a ‘human universe’ with its variety and contradictions, so Microcosm is very different from the 5 albums I previously released and has a richness and variety of instruments and artists on it: 9 musicians involved and as many parts including lead and backing vocals, various saxes, flute, lead synths, Mellotron, Hammond organ, piano, drums, bass, guitars, drum loops and electronics. Says Alex, “The album concept is philosophical and existential and concerns our life, our ‘personal universe’ regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristics of something much larger. “Microcosm” features guest appearances by David Cross (ex-King Crimson), Theo Travis (Soft Machine, Steven Wilson, David Gilmour), David Jackson (ex Van der Graaf Generator), Jon Davison (Yes), Bruno Farinelli (drums), Andrea Torresani (bass), Davide Rinaldi and Emiliano Fantuzzi (guitars). All this is represented here with a series of slices of life, possible real-life experiences through the 12 songs of the album (11 original songs written by Alex, plus “Starless” by King Crimson, arranged by Alex). When you think of microcosm, picture your home town inside a snow globe: the teeny tiny city is a microcosm of the one you live in. Human beings can be viewed as an epitome of the universe, small-scale models of the universe, with all its variety and contradiction. His forthcoming release “Microcosm” is a concept album about a world in miniature, opposed to macrocosm. #MICROCOSM ALBUM GENERATOR#Featuring Members Of King Crimson, Soft Machine, Van de Graaf Generator and Others!ĪSHEVILLE, NC, USA, Ma/ / - Alex Carpani is an Italian-French composer, keyboardist, singer, producer, musicologist and artistic director. ![]()
