Growth
*200 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* "This is, by far, the most emotionally moving album I've made in my life so far. I mean for me, when I listen to it. This is most probably because it's the only record I've actually 'played' in real time, although I did it only on my usual and sole instrument, the laptop. It's also the only album that does not feature any other musician. I'm alone. But at the same time, once again, I didn't create any sound, nor record anything. Each song is …
Ottomani
Ottomani is a project conceived by ADN and four of their friend musicians. Riccardo Sinigaglia, who had his debut album "Riflessi" on ADN. Ruggero Tajè, who made his first solo CD "Antologica 1976-1999) on ADN. Silvio Linardi & Matteo Uggeri who also had many releases on ADN. The concept was that all the four musicians had to create a basic track, that had to be enriched in three different passages by the other three musicians. After that the procedded track was returned to creator who was in ch…
The Soundtrack of Your Secrets
Born and grown over the past two years, built on Bellucci's piano and Uggeri's sounds and beats, "The Soundtrack of Your Secrets" is a work that penetrates inside the soul of anyone willing to let go. Unreservedly, without any limits. Until we are naked... looking inside ourselves. Deep inside.

Bureau
In 2016 Matteo Uggeri took hundreds of pictures during his working days in a 70’s building aimed at training and desk work located in the surroundings of Milan. Later that Winter the photographs taken served as inspiration for him and Giulio Aldinucci for this album themed on the alienation of the working life inside the office (bureau, from where the term ‘bureaucracy’ comes).
The tracks are based on outdoor field recordings that have been looped, treated and re-shaped in order to be transfor…

The Next Wait
**150 copies** "In 2013 my wife Gaia was pregnant. We were then waiting for our first born to come, expected for November of that year. A few little obstacles and troubles occurred during the nine months, so my anxious nature at the time generated in me the need to somehow express the feelings in a record, where I conveyed the worries that a father, especially a musician that needs his own moments for playing, may have in terms of an expected potential future lack of time and energies.I also dec…
