Sir Joe - The Observer
Sir Joe a.k.a. Sergio Bersanetti was the coordinator of Depeche Mode’s 1st Italian Fan Club founded in the early 80's in Turin. In the 90's he started making his own first steps in composing music, using an Ensoniq SQ1 workstation, a Fostex 4 tracks recorder, a cheap microphone and an effect box.
By the time computers became powerful stand-alone recording work-stations, he started relying upon music software only, whose flexibility in terms of sound choice and mixing techniques helped his music to develop from simple synth-pop tunes to more elaborate compositions spanning over a wide spectrum of the electronica sub genres. "THE OBSERVER" is the most mature result of this cross-contamination of genres, whose music and lyrics are meant to be a journey into the realms of the human mind: lust, envy, impossible loves and soul exploration. 10 ravishing songs (one featuring Froxeanne of The Frozen Autumn as guest- singer) displaying amazing style cross-fades even within the same track and irresistible melodies that will make you feel like singing along to from the first listening! Possibly reminding of productions by artists such as J.J. Johanson, Martin Gore, Erasure,Gary Numan, Kraftwerk with chill-out, italo-disco, minimal electro and dark wave influences, "THE OBSERVER" will conquer your ears and hearts and free your minds and souls! So if you like arpeggios and lavish sounds, if are looking for fresh yet introspective music, if you need some light be shed in your musical life, Sir Joe is your man!
