Novanta (means Ninety), is an instrumental project post-rock, shoegaze and electronic devised and performed by Manfred Lamartina, from Palermo for a few years stationed in Milan. 

Why the name Novanta (nineties)? In the nineties, Layne Staley was still alive, Mark Kozelek staged his intimate drama called Red House Painters , Billy Corgan dreamed of a better rock , My Bloody Valentine gave a sense of the chaos and Mogwai beginning of a fantastic story arpeggios and crescendo. In the nineties there were the twin towers, the magical nights, tangentopoli, the massacres of the Mafia , Berlusconi and Prodi, the Italian Lira highly devalued, petroleum at $10 a barrel. In the nineties, Angelo Badalamenti composed the most beautiful soundtrack ever, while the great Lance Henriksen finally took a leading role with Millennium. In the nineties it was thought that a millennium of flying cars, teleport, space travel, and Star Wars only. That's why it's called Novanta (Ninety). A sort of musical commentary slow to remember the times that were and to tell the mood of those who expected a twenty-first century by different colours. Not surprisingly, Novanta (Ninety) is also the number that represents fear.

Listen and enjoy ...
