ABOUT LOUD OFF

A memory, a lack. A meeting with the unexpected in the pockets of a jacket. Loud off is the colour of starkness of northern regions, a suspension of feelings. The smell of flowing thoughts. The band was born in November 2008. Mainly two acoustic guitars, piano, violin, and now with new members as : trumpet,trombone,cello and drum.

Our idea comes from the intention to represent an alternative music with

north-european influences and it's open to any kind of collaboration.

SHORT INTERVIEW:

1. Tell us the story about the song (all the details, please!)

The song is about my 4 year old son who used to cry with no tears when he was a baby. It's about knowing one day he will grow up and move on and how I'll miss all those close tender little moments. It's a song about fatherhood but also about any close relationship. (Antony)

2: Why did you choose to work together, and how did you meet?

LOUD OFF have always loved ANT music, so they decided to write to him and asked if he was interested to make a song togheter. It was a really curious thing, so the proposal has been approved soon

3: Do you have plans to do more music together?

We are talking about new collaborations or even to create a new complete album together. The best thing would be meeting somewhere in sweden to play together.

Other comments?

It's a pleasure to work together.
