To time, to time, to the tales of Time,
Gem of the Abyss bended its light
Don't lose your faith when you shake every night
Thousands of ghosts chase the horrors of the wind.
Gem of the Abyss bended its light
Don't lose your faith when you shake every night

Pictures of me were in the former VIGHILIA page. Nowadays those pictures are permanently deleted from my disk, and from the Geocities server (lots of space saved, I guess...). I am currently working on some new pics so, if someone is longing to see how ugly I am, I will take care of him/her... :))
I just left the shot that was in the former VIGHILIA page... it's still me, even tough some twenty kilos have gone :-) and tough I don't play the 4-string anymore. Please note the horrid position of left hand fingers ;-)))
Care to see me when I was 5? No worry, altough my face has changed very little...
For the few that care, a few shots of the mightiest bassplayer in the world (me, of course!) during some of his world travels:
Nice town is Sidney, even tough I payed only a short visit... but, believe me, the town is lovely and the girl are rivalling with those from Italy with their beauty.
Papeete, the capital town (and island) of French Polynesia, is renowed for the kindness and broad smiles of his lucky inhabitants... this is a land where no stress comes, and happyness stays in the face of most... :)
San Francisco, coastal city in California, USA, is really strange... everything is packed in this city, flavoured with a bit of european taste. You can find the weather change from hill to hill, even tough you've traveled only a couple kms... marvelous, indeed.For those of you who know someone in the Black Metal underground on the Net, I was formerly known as SadDaemon in the Black Metal mail list once kept by Henry Leirvoll, and nowadays by the Mighty Billu. Hail, mate!
Telematic Activity:
Apart from being on the Net, I have a Fidonet address. Fidonet is a private system of communications entirely designed and run by amateurs. That is, it is completely *free* and quite different from Internet, which is quite commercial nowadays.
Fidonet can be found almost anywhere on earth. It all started in the US, as an experiment between some friends to link their computers togheter. Now, it's a reality covering the whole planet.
Fidonet was where internet didn't exist... Fidonet pioneers remember the sad times of 1200baud modems... or times when you had to put the phone on top of your modem for it to work.
Nowadays, with Internet, and fast 33600baud modems, the value of cps is rarely understood. I find hard to understand why my 28.800baud modem generates 3050 - 3100 cps of througput in Fidonet and 1000cps (rarely, often less) in Internet. That is Internet modern fault... and the reason you will find me in Fidonet quite often.
For those who are already in FidoNet in the world, I can be reached at Fidonet internationa PENPAL echo, or in the TABLATURE conference. Otherwise, you will have to hang on to matrix or italian areas, but, in these cases, better use e-mail, since international matrix seldom works.
I moderate a national echo conference, MUSICISTI.ITA of which I am deeply honoured to host the official webpage.
Yup, after all those explanations I forgot my Fidonet address... it's 2:332/606.36... and my "boss" (my fave BBS), Night & Day, answers the following phone number: +39 - 584 - 389210. If you are from Italy... try a dialup! :-)
My current address refers to the school account. If you like some more info, you can check out the University of Pisa Home Page or the computer lab where my account resides (nothing so lovely - it's just SCHOOL ;-)
Musical Activity
Resuming, finally. I finally managed to change bass, and Vighilia resumed playing, without the lead singer who caused trouble. After a brief while, we managed to find a new lead singer and a new keyboard player.
Since the Line-up is complete, plans are to release a demotape and start touring our zone. The band is currently working on new pieces, including a classical opus.
The Bards of Silence solo project is being worked upon, and will mostly consist of baroque black metal, mainly instrumental.
Other artistic activity
Well, I do write poetry sometimes. I usually write in English (which is strange, since I am Italian) and I think that most of my works will sound quite naive to mothertongue people. Anyways, for good or bad...ask if you would like some info, or some samples. Obviously, the headers next to my photos in the pages are written by me. Feedback is much wanted ;)
Sports
Well, as you have seen from my wieght I don't keep myself THAT fit ;-) anyways, I was an athlete. I practiced martial arts for 5 years, and boxe for more than two. When I was fit (78kg!) I was about to begin my first fights... but disaster stroke and it puffed out into nothingness. Sad.
Nowadays, with the slogan being "Resume yourself", I started practicing weightlifting again. Effects on my health and on my body efficiency are already in progress... weight is much lower! :))) Soon more photos with a decent version of me.
Miscellanea
My nickname is "wereboar"... and I first took it from my thay boxe teacher. I just had the results of my blood analisis, and male hormone level was 30% over the maximum allowed... that, along with my "small" weight and the style I have when fighting, gave me this nice nickname.
