   Tristan Bourdeau de Fontenay to All   
   Armonite's Album 'The Sun Is New Each Da   
   28 Jun 15 09:10:05   
   
   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   Armonite, a new band by composer Paolo Fosso and violinist Jacopo Bigi kick   
   off their disruptive rock project with the release of their album, The Sun is   
   New Each Day available for free on the band's official website, armonite.com   
      
   Produced by the first producer of Muse, Paul Reeve, and mastered by Geoff   
   Pesche at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios in London, The Sun is New Each   
   Day is an exciting mix of electric violin, keyboards, bass, and drums,   
   including amazing participation    
   by Porcupine Tree's bassist, Colin Edwin and Dutch drummer Jasper Barendregt.   
      
   "Working with a team like this is fantastic," says Fosso, composer of the   
   album, "Everyone's unique skills and talents added something special to the   
   album and the final result is powerful. We tried to give the album one   
   sonority, but also characterize    
   each track with a different setting.   
      
   "For example, in the song "Suitcase war" you'll see a rejection of how our   
   life has changed after becoming workaholics. Whereas "Insert Coin", featuring   
   8-bit sounds by Swedish demoscener Anders 'Goto80' Carlsson, is a tribute to   
   80's and 90's arcade    
   coin-ops."   
      
   Each track captures the various passions found in the band. "Satellites" is a   
   reflection on space exploration and technology, "'G' as in Gears" features   
   Samuel Gomper's famous speech, "What does the Working Man Want?" and "Die   
   Grauen Herren" recalls the    
   Men in Grey from Michael Ende's novel, Momo.   
      
   The Sun is New Each Day is a whirlwind of sounds, themes and emotions.   
   "Connect Four", a track composed by Bigi, finds its sound in a protest against   
   gambling addictions. While the track "Sandstorm" is a look at the living   
   energy that can be found in    
   Marrakech.   
      
   "We hope the album connects you to the world around you," says Fosso, "Tracks   
   like "Le temps qui fait ta rose" from The Little Prince by Antoine de   
   Saint-Exupery suggest 'It's the time you spent on your rose that makes your   
   rose so important.' Yet, the    
   track "Slippery Slope" explores that unclear side of the human soul."   
      
   The band's hopes and goals go well beyond the free release of their album.   
   "Releasing our tracks for free is a way to instantly share this music we all   
   love so much," says Bigi, "But what we really want to do is bring these tracks   
   live. In order to do    
   this, we need to show how great our fan base is. So follow us on Twitter and   
   YouTube, 'like' us on Facebook and download our free album. The more people   
   that get involved with us, the sooner we can go on tour and share our music   
   live!"
