Behind the music
"There are moments in life when we become aware of an unexpected, surprising reality, revealing how fate directs our lives. Chance takes us into a magical world where passion and determination lead us to undertake a unique journey, one that is fulfilling and all absorbing. We might even say that our destiny was predetermined. I have not heard really good music in a long time, but Gio’s Project is an example of what is called ‘Good Music,’ one which I find in working with many talented artists; usually, I see music in a flat, monochrome world…..but there are exceptions and the Project is one. By the way, music is the most subjective thing that exists, one of the most powerful forces in the universe. The sounds, melody, and chords in Gio’s Project release emotions, evoke memories, profoundly affect our moods, both positive and negative, stir even the most hidden feelings…happiness or sadness, joy or confusion, satisfaction or despair. I fell in love with this project at its very outset: thousands of sounds and their multiple interactions awakened new sensations, filling my soul and making each single listening experience unique. Years ago, a friend of mine taught me that music has no rules or defined structures, but rather awakens feelings. Listening to a song cannot be defined by predetermined standards nor can a melody be relegated to a specific category."Gio's Project: About and musicians
