after nearly 20 years maybe I will manage to finally master this live recording and release it…this week. ;-)
in 1996 we were Ohmega Tribe (Lost Legion Alien Collective) and we closed Il Primo Salone della Musica Italiana (the First Italian Music Expo) at the ex FIAT factory il Lingotto in Torino with an epic show in front of thousands of people.
On stage more than 20 ppl : Mau Mau (nothing to do with me… at that time a quite popular italian neo-folk band) with violins, trumpets, fisarmonica, percussions.
a Gnawa group composed by 15 elements who were outside the moroccan desert for the very first time.
my dear friend and close collaborator Inder Goldfinger Matharu, legendary indian tabla player and rapper based in UK.
2 members of the Italian Radioamatori Association with some very powerful radio scanners.
3 out of 4 Ohmega Tribe with analog synths, bass and guitar.
Lights and choreography were done by the avantgarde theatre group MOTUS.
I was at the main mixing desk on another installation together with La Nonna (one of the best italian live engineer .. period) manouvring a 32 channel mixer each of us, computer, samplers, fxs and my beloved 303.
We never had the chance to repeat this show that had a massive budget payed by the festival (before the show we did one month of rehearsal with all the musicians involved ).
Excuse my ego tripping arrogance but I can state that it was miles away from any setup of more famous combos like The Orb or FSOL active at the same time.
