The new album of Fabio Zuffanti: the role of Rox Villa

September 9: Rox Villa

Our beloved sound engineer as well as "phonic" skills that distinguish him is also an excellent trombonist. The trombone is a tool that not always is combined well with rock but for some "jazzy-flavour" pieces was perfect. Not only that, in a very symphonic moment on "L'interno di un volto" he made a fantastic part with three trombones overdubbed to create an otherworldly atmosphere very "Dead Can Dance Meet King Crimson".

But Rox was not only this.

Rox was the most important person for the success of this album. Infact he helped me since the very early days to produce, organize and choose the right musicians. He gave me a big hand for the arrangements, for the sounds choises and for the management of the whole project.

He also played (the aforementioned trombone but also some keyboards such as mellotron and various synthesizers) and, most of all, he put his whole soul to record the album in his Hilary Studios. Sometimes not sleeping at night until he found the right sound.

This record would not have been the same without Rox's great talent and - without taking anything away from all those who are committed to make this dream come true - it is to him in the first place that I extend my warmest thanks.
