Author, composer and performer, Fabio Viscogliosi is known since 1998 for his live performances with The Married Monk, his gigs with Yann Tiersen, the recording of Yann Tiersen’s record (Tout est calme) and finally with the last Married Monk album called “Rocky” for/in which Fabio wrote and sung on two tracks (Holiday and A spasso) et covered “Ancora Tu” from Lucio Battisti. In Spazio, one discovers the poetic universe/world of this song and music writer, who either is a crooner (whose childhood’s lullabies were sung by Adriano Celentano and Lucio Battisti), or a sound experimentator (Brian Eno, Robert Wiatt) but in all cases with a gift in writing obvious melodies, influenced by Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Marc Bolan, Soft Machine, Taxi Girl, Suicide, The Shadows. On this record, Fabio played most of the instruments (various keyboards, guitars, bass), except some appearances, for example, Christian Quermalet (The Married Monk’s singer) on ‘Apache’ or Jean-Michel Pirès (Married Monk, Bosco). Fabio is a genuine versatile artist, applaused for his illustrated books (edited by Le Seuil ou L’association) and has been given several awards/prizes : L’ile du chat " (Alph’Art in 1996 at the Angoulême’s comics festival), ‘Le Pacha’ (Blutch drawings, Great Prize/Award of Bologne’s international Fair for children books) and his set of drawings ‘Hyper-espace’ in the newspaper Le Monde). |
