Italain sound designer Barnacles teams up with Roman rock group vonneumann to record a concept album about dead musicians and their legacy

Matteo Uggeri is an Italian visual designer and composer from Milan. He invests himself in sound poetry of everyday life, organized around a vast array of personal field recordings and melodic compositions meticulously arranged in a story-telling way. He's part of the duo Starlight Assembly along with Dominic Appleton and he plays in Sparkle in Grey, Open to the Sea and The Last Five Minutes. Recently, he has released an album in collabopration withe Nigel Ayers, from Solstice to Equinox, as Nocturnal Emissions & Barnacles, followed up by a live presentation of the album in Vienna. Vonneumann is an experimental/post-rock band from Rome, Italy. The band is named after mathematician Johann von Neumann. The band was formed in 1999 as the successor to the members' previous band, Arborio. They reformed a year later under the name Vonneumann; the decision to change the name was to reflect their changed musical direction. As Arborio had developed a tight math-rock style, its members decided to try a new approach based on improvisation. The band has released several albums and after a longer hiatus has now teamed up with Barnacles to record the album The Gravedigger Kid. This concept album is based on the admiration dead musicians get from their followers and the almost necrophiliac way their legacy is often exploited.
