Now, as a crowning achievement, he has released \u201cForever in Technicolor\u201d (BMG), a double vinyl album &#8211; also available as a digital download &#8211; of his complete works, which includes several previously unreleased pieces and international collaborations. We have caught up with Francesco to try and understand the reasons behind his intense productivity. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hi Francesco, how have you been? <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I\u2019m fine, thank goodness. By now asking \u201chow have you been\u201d is no longer a mere platitude. I am very excited at the prospect of performing again. There will be limitations, of course, but I can\u2019t wait to get my vaccine and go back to playing live. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This has been a very prolific time for you: in the space of less than a year you have released your first solo album Forever, followed by Forever in Technicolor. You have also launched your \u201cMade-up Stories\u201d and published your \u201cHaunted House Atlas\u201d. It sounds like a bit of a contradiction to the lyrics of your song \u201cIl Bene\u201d, which say \u201cnow is not the time to sing and alter reality\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">First of all, those lyrics were written long before the pandemic, and with a very different meaning in mind. I had already completed my album in January 2020, but the first lockdown forced us to postpone everything. I felt a need to say things with more sincerity, without any frills or affectations. This is no time for rhetoric. We are living through hard times, and we need to face them accordingly. The song is in opposition to the widespread cynicism and nihilism of our age. It\u2019s time to face the world earnestly, with courage and faith. Even though I realize those lyrics fit perfectly with our new pandemic reality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The image of a world \u201cin transition\u201d is a recurring one in your latest work. A passage from destruction to rebirth. What are your expectations for the future? What kind of \u201cnew world\u201d do you wish for?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We are reaching the end of an age during which humankind has plundered the Earth\u2019s resources, and nature is now calling us to account. Suddenly there is much more talk of sustainability and depleted resources. People are increasingly aware of issues connected to the safeguard of our planet. We are witnessing a resurgence of our value as humans, which we had lost while pursuing values that turned out to leave us empty-handed. We had been focusing on following the economy, and saw it as the only key to human happiness. That was our big mistake. We let those beliefs intoxicate us, and we stopped thinking for ourselves. The West hasn\u2019t been truly thinking for a long time. I hope and believe in a new world, a world in which the West will create a new shape of thought, aiming to safeguard the planet (unless we intend to commit mass harakiri as a society). In this sense it\u2019s true that \u201cnow is not the time to sing and alter reality\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Your song \u201cThe Abyss\u201d, seems to herald a change in your perspective, from explainer to listener. Explaining and spreading emotion and thought is busy work, which leads you to give away much of yourself and to constantly seek new sources to recharge and find ideas. How do you infuse fresh blood into your creativity? <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I decided to start working on a solo project because I could feel something was changing inside me. Roughly around the same time I decided to begin therapy, which no doubt affected and accompanied my need for change and helped me dig deeper inside myself. It is a process that \u201cThe Abyss\u201d describes perfectly, both in a metaphorical and a literal sense. I felt that up to that point I had done nothing but hide my true essence, my pros and cons, my monsters and beauty. Therapy has made me braver. Braver in every sense, both as a human being and a musician. I have always been up to experiment, even within the boundaries of pop-rock, and nobody ever put any limits on me, but I needed my screens and protection, my bandmates, my sheltering artistic choices. This time I looked deep inside myself, I opened my cellar of monsters and I decided to make a dogmatic record, with many rules and few compromises. The freest record I had ever made. But to answer your question: I recharge by pausing and looking inside myself. I practice a sort of \u201chomespun meditation\u201d, where I attempt to put myself in a thoughtless state. I find it helpful both to plunge into a vortex of thought and to rid myself of it entirely. I find both processes energizing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Allen Ginsberg defined poetry as \u201cprophecy unveiling with time\u201d. It comes out like a stream and may not tell us much in the moment, but if it\u2019s true and without frills, in time it will tell us who we have been. Your work appears like a constant attempt to lay yourself bare, to search for your deeper essence. Do you think you have achieved your goal? Which one of your latest works do you feel comes closer to your truth?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We are never fully sincere. As soon as we give shape to a feeling, we are creating a bottle in which to constrain it. We should never translate our emotions straight into language. The instant we codify our emotions into words, we are already seeking to abstract them, to separate them further from reality. In less absolute terms, I feel that my latest album is truly sincere. Of course it includes some coding, some rhetorical artifice, but I connect it most fully to the word \u201csincere\u201d. There is a closer link between the original emotion and its expression.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Multiculturalism seems to be another constant element in your work. You defined your album\u2019s genre as \u201cinternational folk\u201d and enriched it with many collaborations with artists from all over the world (Amedeo Pace, Kazu Makino, Rufus Wainwright, Hindi Zahra and Eleanor Fridberger). What do you think makes a work of art \u201cuniversal\u201d, disconnected from its time and nationality? <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I simply believe in Universal Folk. I believe that when we free ourselves of our hangups, of our national obsessions, we realize that the whole world is our true battlefield. That was the reasoning behind my album. We have always had plenty of talented artists in Italy, but they are constantly clashing with one another, like monkeys fighting over a bag of peanuts and ready to do anything to get it. The Italian music business is very limited, and artists often feel they have to bend to its rules. When disco music becomes fashionable everyone makes disco, when it\u2019s trap everyone makes trap. This is good to line the pockets of those who know how to move within these schemes, but in the long run it\u2019s bad for music, depleting it of new ways to nourish itself. We should always think from a universal perspective. It can be done. Paolo Conte is a gentleman from Asti who has reached worldwide fame thanks in part to his Italian peculiarities. There\u2019s no need to mimic foreign models. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You recently published a \u201cHaunted House Atlas\u201d, a map of dwellings seen as our guardians, as part of ourselves. How much do you think our homes influence who we truly are? <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I believe homes have the power to affect human beings, and vice versa. Homes were originally conceived as shelter, as a response to a primal need for survival. Throughout history, however, they began to play other roles as well, going beyond survival alone. So if I live in a home, I end up giving it functions and values that go beyond survival, that permeate it and are reflected back to me. Homes preserve traces of their inhabitants, like living ghosts of sorts. I\u2019m house-hunting right now, and anytime I visit a new home I find details, objects, pictures that convey messages. My brain then kick-starts a narrative process in which that home has a direct influence on my psyche. In this sense ghosts really do exist, and homes are full of them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #212529;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">LEARN MORE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bmgitaly.lnk.to\/FrancescoBianconi_ForeverInTecnicolor\"><span style=\"color: #af0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Forever in Technicolor<\/span><\/span><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ponderosa.it\/en\/event\/the-vegetable-orchestra-lecce\/\"><span style=\"color: #af0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Storie Inventate<\/span><\/span><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/rizzolilizard.rizzolilibri.it\/libri\/atlante-delle-case-maledette\/\"><span style=\"color: #af0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Atlante delle Case Maledette<\/span><\/span><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/4389\/the-art-of-poetry-no-8-allen-ginsberg\"><span style=\"color: #af0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Interview with Allen Ginsberg<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">&nbsp;<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a particularly prolific moment for the artist, who in less than a year has released his first solo work \u201cForever\u201d, launched a \u201cMade-up Stories\u201d format on YouTube and, on May 11th, published his third book: \u201cAtlante delle case maledette\u201d (\u201cThe Haunted House Atlas\u201d, published by Rizzoli Lizard).
