Vaiflo

about

Vaiflo's experience in music started back in the early 80s, when his mother was cleaning the house and he singing along the albums she was listening to (Queen, Mike Oldfield, and some 80's disco like Savage were the top hits of the day). Years later he learned by himself how to play keyboards, and not too long later on he taught himself how to play guitar and bass. After explorating punk and post rock scene in where he started, his bands (mostly instrumental) have always been aimed at developing the same concept: mixing different genres of music that usually are not associated and creating songs that flow like a journey, with lighter moments and sudden "drops". For example this could involve metal mixed with surf music and gypsy percussion, or math metal mixed with goa samples, or Post rock noise mixed with techno and pop. From the beginning of 2000 he also got involved with rave and the afterhours scene (psy-trance, goa) in central Italy. During his development as an artist, his main influence in music have been The Clash, The Police, New Order, Infected Mushroom, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Savage, Bad Religion, King Blues, Madness, Kompakt Records, One Man Buzz, The Zen Circus, A-ha, Lagwagon, The Who, The Beatles, Aphex Twin, Frank Zappa, 2Pac, Gorillaz, Zu, Mike Patton, Refused, Atari Teenage Riot, Datsik amongst others. People who inspire him are also Federico Fellini, David Lynch, Prof. Bad Trip, Alan Moore, J.J. Abrams, Keith Haring and Alfred Hitchcock. In
