I AM ALTERED - is a double album, a first collaboration between GalaeGala and Nickillus.  It tackles the issue of mental health.

We wanted to tell in music, the thin line that divides the being of sound mind and not being.
A musician now bereft of compositional ideas, turns in on himself and slips into alcohol and drug use.  Over time he becomes ill with schizophrenia, but a psychologist, a fan of his work, is determined to lead him back to health.
It takes a long time, but with intensive treatment, he finally does it.
The most rewarding thing for both protagonists is the the return of a burning desire in the musician to make music again.

EQUIPMENT -

GalaeGala - Korg 01 wfd - VSTI Korg Workstation - Korg Fm7 - 8
Alchemy - Electra x Tone- Tone Gladiator - DN-e1 Magix

Nickillus - Magix - Piano One, Upright Bass, Analog Synth, Revolta 2, DN-e1, Space Pad, Beatbox, LoopMaker
Other - Iris 2, Curve 2.5, Alchemy (Dream Voices), VoicePlex, Revitar 2.01, DSK Dynamic Guitar, EZ Poly, Addictive Drums 2

My sincere thanks go out to Galaegala for affording me the opportunity to collaborate with such a stalwart of the community here.  He is a delight to work with.  His own gorgeous, ambient sounds and my own less refined offerings provided him plenty of challenges in this collaboration.  I hope you'll agree he has done a wonderful job - as usual.

Hi Nick & Franco:

First and foremost, thanks for inviting me to the collaboration. 

There are times when some of these "collaborations" fall short of their intended goal.  But, not this time. 

As I've mentioned to you, Nick, on more than one occasion, I think you have a very unique approach to music structure, both from a compositional perspective, as well as conceptual arrangement.  Now, when you combine the elemental and ethereal musical talents of Franco,  we're definitely experiencing something intrinsically unique and well worth the time spent.

This work represents a wonderful and thoughtful challenge for the listener.  And, that's always a positive thing, my good friends.

Salut!

Griff

Hi guys

I think this is really a cool, unique song.  The piano, in my thinking, has the job of representing a rather disjointed mind and the way you mixed the melody up using opposites (fast/slow, high /low, dissonance and consonance) in kind of a carefree manner was very effective in telling your story. 

Using music to tell a story is a difficult thing to do but you two have done an excellent job reaching your goal in that regard.

Trish

Hello guys,
that your cooperation will bring 'a breath of novelty' in the magix scene.
This track is very original, and I'm sure that the other songs will be just as beautiful.
Congratulations Nickillus, Franco.

I think not only musicians get such problems - many artists are doing like this. Your music fits very well to this topic.

It´s a great collaboration work, like it very much!

the mind hides many facets. Madness is always madness? Creativity is often out of the conventions. Only the mind can understand the balance of the inner condition, beyond conventional boundaries GREAT OPERA !!!!

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Hola señores de la musica,Lo primero es que el argumento del tema es fascinante,esquizofrenia alcoholica con sindromes paranoides misticos.... Sinceramente el terreno mental es uno de mis temas preferidos y se algo...En algunas ocasiones hay que enloquecer completamente,para despues tener una amplia cordura...El Loco puro,el loco savio y poderoso en su mente,pues el conoce bien la mente y el corazon de la humanidad,tambien conoce la esencia de las cosas,esta musica me transporto a esa esencia y me gusto mucho de escuchar,felicidades a los dos.Favoritos.
