about
Northgate is the name used since 1992 by Trevor, vocalist of Camerata Mediolanense, to sign his solo projects. The concept is not having a "one man band", but a group, whose components change according to the style options and the music ideas. Northgate's artistic path swings between electronic-noises and typically Industrial terms. After some demo tapes, during 1995 Northgate releases the LP "Liturgie pour la fin de la Patrie", printed in a very limited edition of 108 copies, now chased relentlessly by collectors and available today in CD including some bonus tracks which refer to the same period. "Liturgie…" represents a fundamental step, underlined by rarefied and penetrating atmospheres… but always under the banner of self-production. Psychodrama (1998) is a tribute to the most extreme "power-electronics": a change of language and instrumentation, made in order to stop being considered an "apocalyptic band" at all costs... Quite different is the structure of the most recent CD "The Blue builders", perhaps the most ripe result at research and experimental level. Preceded by the single "In every Dreamhome a Heartache" (not included in the CD), "The Blue builders" collects the atmospheres of the metropolis and the noise of the construction, in the most physical sense (as underlined by the perturbing cover). Sounds are generated by conventional instruments, and by machines, moving from the "soft" electronics of "Monique Electronique" towards the Eighties passages of "Fidia"
