“NEON” è il nuovo album dei Buckwise, progetto musicale pugliese dream pop e IDM attivo dal 2018 ed in costante evoluzione, tra le cose più affascinanti emerse dal sottobosco musicale italiano in questi ultimi anni.RKO presenta un talk con gli artisti dalla libreria Prinz Zaum, con Carlo Chicco a introdurre l'ascolto dell'album. Si tratta della seconda fatica discografica per il quintetto di Bari, in uscita il 29 Novembre 2024 per l'etichetta indipendente Dischi Uappissimi (Checco Curci, LAZZARETTO, Bouvier, Leland Did It) e la Bonimba srls di Francesco Cerasi, con distribuzione digitale a cura di Artist First. Il tutto a 5 anni di distanza dal loro acclamato album d'esordio “Turning Point”, pubblicato da La Rivolta Records. “NEON” è un viaggio che esplora l'essenza dell'esperienza umana attraverso un mix di sonorità intense e testi evocativi. Il tema centrale dell'album è il tempo, visto come un flusso continuo che ci costringe a confrontarci con la crescita, il cambiamento e la necessità di trovare significato nelle nostre azioni. Ogni traccia riflette una sfaccettatura di questa ricerca esistenziale, collegando le esperienze individuali a un mosaico più grande, universale.Queste le parole della band sul concept del disco: L'album affronta temi come il rapporto con le persone a noi care, l'intimità dei legami e la difficoltà di comunicare in un mondo dove ciascuno è intrappolato nella propria realtà. I Buckwise riflettono su come la fiducia, sia in sé stessi che negli altri, possa essere una conquista difficile e spesso è proprio attraverso gli altri che ci specchiamo e troviamo un punto di riferimento.L'ambiente è un'altra tematica rilevante nel disco, che mette in luce l'impatto distruttivo dell'uomo sulla natura. Le immagini potenti di una balena intrappolata sotto un'isola di rifiuti di plastica diventano una metafora della lotta per la sopravvivenza, simbolo della fragilità della vita e della nostra incapacità di tornare a respirare liberamente in un mondo sempre più soffocante.Il cambiamento rimane un filo conduttore dell'album, descritto come una forza inevitabile e spesso dolorosa ma essenziale per crescere e scoprire nuove parti di sé. Le tracce di Neon ci ricordano che, anche nei momenti più difficili, dobbiamo trovare la forza per affrontare il nuovo e accettare il mutamento, perché è solo così che possiamo davvero evolverci.Con “NEON”, i Buckwise offrono un'esperienza intensa e viscerale, dove musica e parole si intrecciano per raccontare le contraddizioni, le paure e le meraviglie della vita umana. L'album è altresì un invito a esplorare i nostri limiti e a trovare un senso nel continuo fluire del tempo e delle esperienze.Anticipato dai singoli “Older” e “Best End”, “Neon” è disponibile in streaming e in digital download sulle principali piattaforme. Lasciatevi incuriosire, e buon ascolto!

Abbiamo intervistato Martina Manca, direttrice artistica della prima edizione di Crush, al via all'Old Square di Cagliari domani (giovedì 14 luglio) alle ore 19 con Mario Nardi e le Sorelle Illuminate. Una rassegna che nasce per promuovere i più interessanti protagonisti della musica indipendente isolana: sono queste le coordinate della prima edizione di “Crush”, nuovo format ideato e promosso dall'Old Square di Cagliari, che dal 14 luglio al 25 agosto proporrà un calendario di otto appuntamenti, tutti a ingresso gratuito, e rigorosamente di giovedì, dalle 19 alle 21. Crush nasce dalla volontà di mettere in luce unicamente progetti inediti, che sul palcoscenico dell'irish pub cagliaritano verranno presentati per la prima volta, diventando importante vetrina e punto di riferimento per la scena musicale sarda. A inaugurare la rassegna ci penserà il progetto Mario Nardi e le Sorelle Illuminate, in scena domani (giovedì 14) per presentare “Motel quarantena” disco scritto, registrato e missato in casa durante il lockdown, prodotto da Meigama | Altrove e distribuito da Artist First. Ed è proprio della distopica dimensione domestica vissuta nel più duro periodo della pandemia che parlano le 12 tracce che compongono il lavoro, in cui si raccontano notti bianche, idiosincrasie quotidiane, rumori silenziosi e silenzi assordanti. Tutto ricamato in un viaggio tra elettronica, folk, cantautorato, eclettismo. square Ad affiancare Nardi sul palcoscenico, Le Sorelle Illuminate, al secolo Silvia Cristofalo e Serena Pieroni, con cui l'artista originario di Santadi ha iniziato a provare dal gennaio del 2021. Caratteristica del trio è quella di rielaborare brani e composizioni ogni volta in una maniera differente, cercando di spingere la ricerca valorizzando il rodato interplay e dando spazio alle vibrazioni del momento. Dopo il concerto la serata continuerà con il dj set di Jane D. “Abbiamo deciso di investire su questa rassegna per strizzare l'occhio alla musica indipendente sarda, selezionando solo progetti inediti, di gruppi e formazioni, non per forza accumunati da un genere musicale preciso”, spiegano gli organizzatori. “La direzione artistica è stata affidata a Martina Manca e il nome Crush (che in inglese comprende differenti significati, tra i quali ‘frantumare')è stato scelto per trasmettere la netta volontà di rottura con la programmazione musicale proposta durante la scorsa stagione invernale, durante la quale abbiamo spesso ospitato cover band. Adesso vogliamo, appunto, ‘rompere' lo schema e dare il via a un nuovo corso e Crush (che in inglese significa anche ‘cotta'), sottolinea il nostro amore per la musica che, dopo tanti anni, proprio come all'inizio, continua a essere sincero e carico di passione.” Dopo il concerto di Mario Nardi e le Sorelle Illuminate, Crush continuerà giovedì 21 luglio con The Hurricanes e il dj set di MissMary Light e il 28 luglio con il concerto dei TV Shock, accompagnato dal dj set di Sux Cute. Il mese di agosto vedrà esibirsi giovedì 4 i Deviltown con il successivo dj set di Agitated Uruguay, una settimana dopo (11 agosto) i Raff Badas con le selezioni musicali di Unoturbo, il 18 agosto il set di Viola e le selezioni di Andrea Murgia e in chiusura, giovedì 25 il concerto dei Plasticdrop accompagnato dal djset di Velvetuzi. Verrà presto comunicata, invece, la data di recupero del live di Vilma, saltato lo scorso 7 luglio a causa di sopravvenuti problemi tecnici. L'Old Square è unodegli storici pub della città di Cagliari. Inaugurato come circolo privato nel dicembre del 1996, è stato rilevato dall'attuale gestione da 11 anni. Il locale fin dall'inizio ha sempre avuto una spiccata vocazione musicale, proponendo eventi e rassegne, a partire da Idioteque, che ha visto salire sul suo palcoscenico nomi del calibro di Salmo (allora agli esordi). All'Old Square hanno suonato e si sono esibite band diqualsiasi tipo, con artisti sardi, ma anche nazionali e internazionali. Segui gli aggiornamenti su Unica Radio

For a hot second this episode was gonna be called Nathan Sawaya: "From Lawyering to Legoing," and as much as that description of Nathan Sawaya and his life is accurate, it does not capture what we hope to convey in this episode.  Yes he was a NYC corporate lawyer and a quick study of his work will tell you "yes", Nathan uses Lego bricks to create large sculptural work, but one will also find that amazing, emotive and powerful works of fine art step immediately to the fore.  It will be quite easy to understand why he receives national acclaim and CNN referred to it as one of the top-ten must-see exhibitions globally. In this episode we hear of Nathan's unique journey from art student, to corporate lawyer and back to artist.  He shares about how creativity was essential in helping him through the hardships of being in an unfulfilling job and career, but also how it helped him through mental illness (Depression). We learn too how more recently he is using his art to tackle issues dear to him like climate change and extinction through a collaboration between he and photographer, Dean West called PERNiCiEM.   Yes we learn about the the process and the particulars of working with Legos, but we learn of some angles to that work that are surprising and quite refreshing. Its a joy learning of the universality and approacability of Nathan's string grabbing and kite flying via the Lego brick.   Web Presence for Nathan:  http://www.nathansawaya.com/biography.html                                                              https://www.brickartist.com/                                                              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeTY70VPAg0 Kites and Strings Website: https://www.kitesandstrings.com/​​Facebook: @kitesandstringspodcastTwitter:   @KitesandstringsInstagram:  @Kites_and_stringsemail: Kitesandstringspodcast@gmail.comOur theme music is by Harrison Amer, and all other original music by purple planet music at https://www.purple-planet.com.   Our logo-design is by Cole Monroe at Blue Stag Creative.
