Amidst conflict and technology, Tom Smith and Elliott Williams discuss their new album, Surface, Echo & Sound: “Music is there to give you hope and light when things are scary and dark”

From Righeira in January 1981 to Chet Baker playing at Santa Tecla with Basso and Valdambrini’s band. Seventy years of music experienced, relived and danced to beneath the stages of Milan. The ‘Dal Vivo’ exhibition at Palazzo Morando runs until 31 January 2027. Curated by Matteo Bordone and Roberto Mutti

Bitter, dark, cinematic: the superband wrote the soundtrack for the documentary “Ellroy vs L.A.” without ever meeting the ‘mastiff of noir’. Beethoven, discount true crime and songs for dark times

In London, the Bolognese singer-songwriter presents "Amateur", an experimental album. Rock, progressive detours, ballads, unexpected harmonies, no choruses. But above all, an album that defies the algorithm and even embraces the idea of commercial failure.
