Cybernetic Boy — Piergiorgio Corallo’s digital alter ego
There’s a reason certain songs feel like mirrors. They don’t flaunt virtuosity; they hold it back. They don’t drown you in metaphors; they choose a few sharp images and let them echo. “Ragazzo cibernetico,” from Piergiorgio Corallo’s project 'In via di sviluppo', is one of those pieces—an electronic rock miniature that uses economy as a form of clarity.

When music genres collide
Albums used to live within borders. They were defined by genre, expectation, and the kind of fidelity that kept rock guitars on one side and drum machines on the other. But the best contemporary records — the ones that stay in your bloodstream — are those that blur those borders, crossing soundscapes the way cities blend languages at dawn.

The painter who brought a guitar: on multidisciplinary artists and the case of Piergiorgio Corallo
Every few years, the conversation returns: can one artist be credible in more than one field? The suspicion is oddly durable—especially when the second field is painting. Yet the history is crowded with musicians who reached for brushes not as a hobby but as a continuation of their listening. If sound is time made visible on a DAW screen, painting is time convinced to hold still. Piergiorgio Corallo enters this lineage not as a dilettante but as someone who composes with a visual brain; the album title In via di sviluppo already reads like a gallery placard: in progress, under radiation, caught mid-becoming.

Where Corallo's “Non si vede” lands in the family tree of Heavy & Alternative Rock
There’s a moment in “Non si vede” when the guitars stop behaving like furniture and start behaving like weather. Not just overdrive in a rectangular pattern, but a force that pushes air, pulls against the drums, and drags the vocal line across the bar like a magnet under a table. That sensation—the kind of muscular pressure you feel in your ribcage before you parse words—is the real ancestral signature here. It connects Piergiorgio Corallo’s track to a family tree that runs from Deep Purple’s highway engines to Verdena’s humid fog, cutting across American and Italian dialects of heaviness.

Between Future and Fractures: the britpop heart of Piergiorgio Corallo’s “In via di sviluppo”
When a debut record sounds like both a confession and an architectural sketch, something rare happens: form and feeling collapse into one another. 'In via di sviluppo', the first full-length by italian multidisciplinary artist Piergiorgio Corallo, lives inside that collision. It’s a rock album that distrusts certainty, borrowing britpop’s melodic clarity only to distort it through an existential lens.

A room built outward: listening to 'In via di sviluppo'
There are debuts that arrive like press conferences. This one walks in and sits down. 'In via di sviluppo' keeps its shoulders narrow, lets arrangement do the talking, and asks you to listen rather than react. Guitars are placed like walls, electronics run along the baseboards, and the voice keeps a straight line through the middle. If you wait for spectacle, you’ll miss the point. The surprise isn’t volume; it’s patience.
