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 return of a burning desire in the musician to make music again.

Track 02 deals with defining what the particular problem is.

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.

KULTUR IST EINE BRÜCKE DER BEGEGNUNG! ALS ARTLITERAT REICHE ICH ALL MEINEN KULTURFREUNDEN DIE HAND, DENN NUR ZUSAMMEN KÖNNEN WIR EINE SCHÖNGEISTIGE INFRASTRUKTUR AUFBAUEN. AUS DIESEM GRUNDE LIEGT MEIN GROSSES INTERESSE AN GEMEINSAMEN PROJEKTEN, DENN KONSTRUKTIVE ENERGIEN VERHINDERN DESTRUKTIVE PROZESSE WIE HASS & KRIEG.

Me gusta mucho el tema,el analisis de la conciencia,la mente,el siquismo profundo,eso es algo muy interesante para mi,esta musica expresa lo que se pretende,me parece muy buena musica,sinceramente la equalizacion me parece buena,dando planos diferentes a instrumentos y efectos,un placer de escuchar.Buena colavoracion.

It starts like a radio play. Then we here great ambient music with a great sound. Because of the influence of Galaegala it is a completely different music as your usual works, nick *****

Hi Nick & Franco:

The two movements are both compelling and introspective.  It is a sheer delight for me (simply as a listener) when two musicians; normally who are divergent in their musical ideas, perspectives, and creative impulses, come together and orchestrate a connectivity that undulates in harmonic fusion.

As a staunch fan of both of your unique styles, this a collaboration that works on many levels .

Congratulations gentlemen.

Ciao Nick & Franco:

I due movimenti sono entrambi convincenti e introspettivo. È un piacere puro per me (come semplice ascoltatore) quando due musicisti; normalmente chi sono divergenti nella loro idee musicali, le prospettive e impulsi creativi, di riunirsi e di orchestrare una connettività che ondeggia in armonica fusione.

Come un fedele fan di entrambi i tuoi stili unici, questo una collaborazione che funziona su molti livelli .

Complimenti signori.

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

I know nothing about music. Only listened .. Using technology also makes possible for me to be able to make music.

  I am also into photography amateur.

I'm not here for stars score but coment with advice for improvement of my music.


at my coment on music of others, I remain honest. this must be mutual .

I give my voice just as public and not as someone who knows something from music.

 I'm open to all criticism. I want to learn something
