A New World and Dark Years are two different projects by OppaT alias Luciano Margorani (guitarist of LA1919, Beauty is in the Distance, Fracture and Artchipel Orchestra). This is the second opus of OppaT on ADN label.

A New World is a conceptual project that tries to explore all the lacks of our agonizing world. This is done through a series of titles remembering all what our society didn't develop with intensity through the years and centuries. Equity, Tolerance, Truth, Solidarity, Justice, Hope and Universalim. Virtues that could bring to a better New World. The music through all titles is generated by a manipulated "stretched " acoustic guitar. It's an important electronic flow that wraps your heads during around 38 minutes. The sound is very "orchestral" and gives the possibility to move around different climates.

Dark Years has the same conceptual basis but here the music is developed from sampled sounds, an electronic contemporary symphony generated by a more pessimistic mood. A long CD that invites you to explore another side of this eclectic musician.

"I composed all the tracks of “A New World” and “Dark Years” using a computer, the Audacity music software, an acoustic guitar and files of already existing music. All the tracks on ANW are played on my Taylor acoustic guitar and then manipulated using the Paulstretch effect and other digital devices; the same for DY, where instead of a musical instrument I used music taken from my cd collection, obviously the original music I chose is no longer recognizable even because on each piece I overdubbed different musics. May I call this process my own kind of “Plunderphonics”, a term coined in 1985 by Canadian saxophonist and sound designer John Oswald."
