NOSOUND 'semi-acoustic' @Disco Frisco Via Lungosile Mattei 25, 31100 Treviso, Italy (8pm, free entrance) http://www.facebook.com/events/384616568243988/ http://www.last.fm/event/3284817 After a series of concerts in England, Italy, Holland and Germany, Nosound are back in a semi-acoustic formation (voice, keyboards and guitars) presenting for the first time in Italy the album The Northern Religion Of Things. Following the late 2011 Nosound 'duo' performance at Union Chapel in London (opening act for Anathema gig), the music becomes again intimate with ambient and electronic influences, enriched with acoustic guitar and piano, and accompanied by visual sequences formed by various videos released by the band. The setlist will contain some songs from The Northern Religion Of Things, a piece not played in this arrangement before and a new track from the upcoming studio album which will be released at the end of 2012.

Nosound live in Rome, galleries and videos
The recent gig in Rome was really great, probably one of our best performances ever. The band was able to play the songs with a new 'edge', this time with more freedom and less written parts to follow if compared to the last gig we did with Wooden String Quartet. The setlist included tracks from all three albums, including the long Winter Will Come and some more intimate/acoustic tracks like The Broken Parts, Lightdark and My Apology. The audience was always carefully listening to the music, and there was a general good vibe for this warm up date for more gigs that will follow in Europe in the next forthcoming months (more news soon). The first photo galleries are available at the Galleries page, plus 6 new video from the gig and rehearsal sessions in our Videos page.

Nosound live, Friday 7th January 2011, Rome (Italy)
While working on the new album and some more live dates around Europe in 2011, we'll start the new year with a gig at CrossRoads Live Club in Rome. We'll play for the first time songs from the last studio album A Sense Of Loss with a more rock arrangement, plus some tracks we have not played on stage for a long time and some more acoustic numbers as executed during a recent solo gig in London. It's possible to buy tickets online. If you hurry up, you might get a chance to book front row seats which will also give you a chance to participate in the soundcheck, to meet the band and get extra merchandise.

The audio CD will feature completely new digitally restored and analogue mastered audio from the original 2005 album, plus three extra re-mastered tracks (clocking in at 78 minutes of music!). The DVD features a brand new 10 minute video for Sol29, plus the original three ambient/experimental audio video tracks included on The World Is Outside DVD-R. As an extra for fans that missed the first release, the Kscope edition will also include all the original mixes of Sol29 as they were released on 2005 album version. This will be the final and official Sol29 release, collecting all the Nosound early studio material in one single release. The band has already started work on their fourth studio album which will be released in 2011. Writing and recording sessions already started in UK, and will continue during the summer with the whole band recording in their brand new recording studio located on the hills around Rome.

N O S O U N D - A Sense Of Loss - PRE-ORDER NOW!
	The new studio album from Nosound Formed in Italy in 2001, Giancarlo Erra's Nosound create a seductive and original fusion of elements of progressive, ambient and post rock. Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, A Sense Of Loss is their third album, the follow up to the 2008's Lightdark. Lightdark was described by Classic Rock (UK) as 'more great stuff from new label Kscope' and A Sense Of Loss builds on this album by introducing alternative post rock songs to Nosound's ever evolving sound. Giancarlo describes the album as a 'move from the classic 'rock' (or rock ambient) approach used in Lightdark to a more unique sound, with influences from more contemporary alt and post rock.' To create this sound the band used less synths (any that were used were almost all a strict selection of vintage synth sounds) and more real instruments including a string quartet, leading to 'an even more emotional recording than Lightdark. Erra goes on to state, 'The overall production and sound have moved to a more 'natural' overall sound, combined with some different sounds and approaches, a little far from Lightdark, but still distinctively Nosound (probably more now than before).' The album was written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered at Nosound Studio (Rome) by Giancarlo Erra. Additional production was by Paolo Martellacci, Gigi Zito, Alessandro Luci, Paolo Vigliarolo. Additional recordings made at PanPot Studio (Rome) by Gigi Zito and Diapason Studio (Rome) by Simone Satta. This 2 disc edition of the album includes a DVD containing 5.1 surround and 24bit mixes of the album, alternative 'long guitar solo' version of Fading Silently, video and video footage, picture gallery and more. A video teaser for the album is now online at www.asenseofloss.com and the album is available to pre-order from the Kscope store and will ship from the end of October 2009. All orders placed through the Kscope store will receive a exclusive signed postcard. http://www.burningshed.com/store/kscope/product/272/1666/ Disc 1 - CD 1. Some Warmth Into This Chill (7.55) 2. Fading Silently (8.27) 3. Tender Claim (8.07) 4. My Apology (5.41) 5. Constant Contrast (5.42) 6. Winter Will Come (15.39) Disc 2 - DVD 5.1 surround and 24bit mixes of the album, alternative 'long guitar solo' version of Fading Silently, video and video footage, picture gallery and more.

N O S O U N D - A Sense Of Loss.....the new album first teaser!
	Nosound will return later this year with their new album, A Sense Of Loss. Giancarlo Erra has put a video teaser for the album online at www.asenseofloss.com A Sense Of Loss is scheduled to be released for the end of October 2009 on Kscope. From the teaser you'll see and hear a few bits of music and from recent recording sessions for the new album, moving from what the band did in the past 'towards alternative, post rock songs territories'..
