about

TRACKS:
1- Berlin Vs Victor (Berlin School electronic music intro enbellished with german voiceover by Vittorio Secco with biblical comments on the Apocalipse of prophet Daniel)
2- Mantic (EDM Banger - still with english voicever by Vittorio Secco on the Apocalipse of prophet Daniel)
3- Digital Seagulls (Slow Piano Fİnale)

CONCEPT:
The term apocalipse derives from the greek and means 'Revelation'.
The revelation is intended as the end of the world as we know it (not the end of times tout court).

Thanks to Vittorio Secco, we took this apocaliptic view to the concept of being a foreigner (Fremdheit in German), where your cultural and spiritual background meets or clashes with the outside world - compelling you to face your inner beasts.

For an expatriate - like myself, in Istanbul or Vittorio in Berlin or Frankie that simply moved from our small town to Rome, the change of city and new cultural models you have to face everyday, really ends the world as you know it.
Imagine to see on walls and advertisements faces that are supposed to be super famous, and you don't know who they are.

On the other hand being on internet and having a hard time in recognizing who is really popular, famous, or reliable as a source of informations of whatever kind.
Or some who are really super famous and you never cared and never knew about them. That makes you a stranger in your own room.
And the world is no longer the same.

Also this pandemic brought us to a new 'normality' that made ourselves strangers everywhere in our own cities/towns.

Though life still goes on, and we try to get the meaning of all of this by reading the signs and trying to make sense of what is happening. And this is where the Mantic comes in.

VITTORIO SECCO (Victor)
We specially thank Mr. Vittorio Secco for giving his voice and his image nonetheless the collateral content and concept contribution.
Vittorio Secco has his own youtube channel;
he is basically reading and commenting ancient texts, particularly the Bible, keeping a strict point of view on the scientific and historical sources.
Biblical comment has never been so hot!! :D I strongly recommend to check on his videos whether you are a believer or not.

He is the voice and the 'fictional' character of this EP

BERLIN
Vittorio (Victor) makes his work as commentator from Berlin, though he is Italian as me and Frankie are.

In the light of what I explained above, actually Berlin as an expat, could be any other city, stripped from its history and meaning. Basically it becomes just a wall where to project your own fantasies, fears, beasts, hopes.
For as much Berlin is rich in culture, history and meaning, you won't find any reference to its past...in any case, the world as you know it is going to end...
