In order to fulfill this desire to create, he dedicated himself to the study of “electronic music,” which continues to excite and kindle his original pieces.

A chat with Seismal D: What’s the concept behind your music? “Without music everything would be static. For me, Music is a dynamic concept in constant evolution and transformation in full harmony with the Universe, which is the core principle of life itself”. Your love for Techno, where does it come from? From the combination of music and technology, I guess. These two worlds now intrinsic, can create infinite combinations, I love anything that can not be determined What’s your inspiration when you do music? Music is all about powerful vibrations and deep emotions. Technology allows me to set the frequency of the sound to create a ‘magic connection between one and the others’. This is the experience we all seek for on the dance floor and the one I always share with my crowd. Can you remember your first techno track you listened to? D-Boy ‘Direct to Rave’ and ‘The Destroyer’ are absolutely the first two Hardcore Techno tracks I have ever listened to. It was from my older mate’s walkman, at the age of 8. Their emphasis on rhythm rather than melody dragged me into the world of electronic sounds. Since that moment, my biggest desire was to be able to reproduce those sounds when I would be a grown up. What other artists have influenced your music style? I have taken different influences from hundreds of electronic styles, but I don’t remember to ever listened to pop music into my room. I have a long list of favourite artists, such as Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Emmanuel Top, Prdigy, Rotterdam Terror Corps, Daniele Mondello, D-Boy, Stunned Guys, Art Of Fighters, Neophyte, Derrik May, The Orbital. My number one, is Plastikman. Your earliest club experience? In Rome the rave scene has always been associated with deep immorality. Although I never stopped to listen to techno tapes at home, in my early teens I started clubbing on House and Electro House, which is still influential in my music today. How would you describe your music today? A sort of the ‘mind’s delirium’. I tend to contrast the schematic and rigid rhythm with abstract and hypnotic jingles. What’s the best side of your music? As Electronic music has created a broad vision of the rhythm and groove, it attracts young people as a gravitational force pushing the mind into the unknown. Inspiring imagination, my music can blur the boundaries between the ‘Real’ and the ‘Abstract’ creating an attractive alternative from the nasty reality. What’s its dark side? Unfortunately, the imaginary world that this music creates can sometimes work as a trap for young people, who then reject the whole reality. Your recommendations for the young people? Party Responsible and let the music inspire you! I hope to see you all on the dance floor!
