William Wilson

Solo project, started as a joke, on a cold fall of 2009, with the desire to reinterpret old Edgar Allan Poe, Boris Vian, Charles Baudelaire & Gregory Corso poems (and so on ...) and put them into music. The name comes from a short story by Edgar Allan Poe's, "William Wilson", who was a key figure in the poetry of the American writer. Fascinated and captivated by the power of the 'double' or 'doppelgänger', William Wilson becomes a perfect moniker to this new artistic reincarnation.
It defines himself a songwriter, he writes, sings and plays his own songs and sometimes revisits other's, close to his style or even just to his mood.
His works:
- An LP in 2010, entitled "Just For You, Not For All", self released.
- An EP in 2011, "Summer Holidays & Folk Routine" (quote that calls into question post-punk band "Refused")
- A soundtrack in 2013 for the short film "17:34" by Patrick Caldelari, with two songs "A Lonely Game" and "Than Ever Before".
- A collection in 2014, which contains almost all published and unpublished works from 2010 to 2014, with 25 songs, chosen from official records, live, b-sides and outtakes titled "What I Used To Be", available at gigs in CD format and through the artist's Bandcamp Store.
After more than 150 concerts around Italy and two years since the last official release, it is scheduled for October the 28th 2016 the release of the new work, containing 9 new songs, entitled "Whispers: A Scar Is Born". It will be out for Seahorse Recordings and distributed by Audioglobe.
