Numa Echos

NUMA ECHOS moves between poetry, music, artistic photography and painting .

She began writing poetry at the age of 3-4 years and later collaborated with his own writings to the creation of anthologies such as “Sono bella ma non è colpa mia: l’ inconvenienza dell’ avvenenza” and “Teorema del corpo: donne scrivono l’eros” (Fusibilia Libri, 2014 and 2015).

Mixing texts, experimental-alternative music, gestures and visual projections, she realized the musical poetic show “Sogni di lucida- mente: allusioni e rivelazioni di un io follemente sano”, already presented in various important cultural contexts, including:

• “Terre Vulnerabili – A Growing Exhibition”, Hangar Bicocca, Milano;

• “Step 010”, Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art, Museo della scienza e della tecnologia, Milano

• Bicinuragica 2013 e 2014 – itinerant edition concerning poetry and cycling edited by Ugo Magnanti and Fusibilia Edizioni.

The editorial version of “Sogni di lucida- mente: allusioni e rivelazioni di un io follemente sano” was published in the series “Riverberi” from Caosfera Edizioni (Vicenza, 2015) with the cover note of the well known crime novelist, writer and conductor of “Mistero” – Italia 1 Channel, Andrea G. Pinketts and was presented in various contexts, even in television programs (La 7 Gold, Nuvolari TV …) .

Thanks to the depth and humanity of her writings Numa Echos has been selected among the ten finalists for the 2009-2010 competition Creamusica at CPM (Centro Professione Musica) in Milan by the president Franco Mussida which followed the production and recording at “Alari Park Studios” in Cernusco sul Naviglio with her poem ”Partendo da qui” in a poetic-musical version with also a promotional video.

It was used the text “Fiori di pece” ( “Pechblumen” is the film version ) as an integral part of the music of the independent film “Ghost Track” by Fabrizio Rossetti (Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo etc.).

Numa Echos often came into contact with the world of sport as a cyclist and with fashion (Swarowski – Parah – Massimo Rebecchi etc.) as model maintaining, also on a professional business contest an alternative and excessive spirit.

Being also active as art photographer , his shots for the following works have been chosen:

• “Milano Avvelenata” by Andrea Lux Ferre (Sille Edizioni, 2016) – Cover photo from private collection of Numa Echos
• “La Capanna dello Zio Rom” by Andrea G. Pinketts (Mondadori, 2016) – Photo of the back cover by Numa Echos

She has cultivated musical studies and she has participated to various music festivals and independent rock radio programs.

She works as art director, singer and instrumentalist (keyboards, synths), with “her own live shows” and “opening act shows” for other artists (Morgan, Fluon, Quintorigo, etc.), and as Dj whose selections are characterized by audible sounds and not, danceable rhythms and melancholy dark, trying to catalyze more restless and rebellious souls, leading them unknowingly to their creatively crazy world.

In 2011, in collaboration with her artistic producer and arranger Filippo Scrimizzi, she starts the production of her first album, a music project in English caracterized by rock, dark, industrial, trip-hop, metal and new wave influences, in which Numa Echos is singer, keyboard player, lyricist and co-composer of music.
