about

Early Works are what was publishable (and most of all, what has remained intact) of a couple of years of home recordings of a period of Mr. Drey's life (that would like to remember it in some way, but isn't able to succeed in doing so).
They were the discovery of fundamental programs like Audacity or Pianito, just to mention the most important, (but other very debatable stand-alone freeware could also be mentioned).
They were also the knowledge of sampling with the consequent attempts to deform the specimens with additions over additions of ugly effects. The listenings which influenced their birth were the post discoveries of an earlier time: slow, calm and visionary things whose greatest value was that of helping to go to sleep well and to occasionally wake up during repose because the sounds, when the author was estranged in the middle of the night, were somewhat moving. They are the crossover from audio cassettes (youthful wrath to have strange sounds in an analogue and immediate way) to the PC (the beginning of a programming, even if ridiculous; the sketching of a comparison with the quality of sound). They are, for the greatest part, the story of a period of awaiting and care.


Gli Early Works sono ciò che era pubblicabile (e soprattutto ciò che è rimasto integro) di un paio di anni di registrazioni casalinghe attraverso uno periodo della vita di Mr. Drey (che vorrebbe peraltro ricordarselo in qualche modo, ma non gli riesce particolarmente bene).
Sono stati la scoperta di programmi fondamentali come Audacity o Pianito, tanto per citare quelli fondamentali (ma si potrebbero aggiungere altri stand-alone freeware molto discutibili). Sono stati anche la conoscenza del sampling, con i conseguenti tentativi di sformare i campioni con aggiunte su aggiunte di effetti brutti. Gli ascolti che ne hanno influenzato la nascita erano le scoperte post di qualche tempo prima: cose lente, calme e oniriche il cui pregio più grande era quello di far addormentare bene e di far svegliare ogni tanto durante il sonno, perché i suoni, quando l’autore era stranito nel mezzo della notte, avevano un che di emozionante. Sono il passaggio dalle cassette (fotta giovanile di avere dei suoni strani in maniera analogica e subito) al PC (inizio di una programmazione, seppur ridicola; abbozzo di un confronto con la qualità del suono). Sono in buona parte la storia di un periodo di attesa e di cura.

about

Mister Drey Bologna, Italy

Born and raised in the outskirts of Bologna (Granarolo), Mr. Drey was, (and it's a pity when this is not remembered), an enfant prodige of the teen punk scene (with No Hope) and with the ska/reggae/high school rocksteady (Urka, Explanation of Palmas). The notoriety of these bands brought him no lucky occasions nor any good. ... more
