Tears Of Sirens a duo was born in 2014. The minds behind it are Fabio Properzi
and Giulia Riboli, both musicians with a strong attitude to experimentation.
In January of 2015 their first instrumental EP "The Abyss" was released, catching
the attention of several italian magazines and webzines (Rockerilla, Mescalina,
Son of Marketing e I Think Magazine, L'Isola che non c'era, Shiver...) and has
been acclaimed by critics for its refinement.
The track "Nebula" was included in the streaming compilation Son of the Marketing My AweSOMe Winter Preview Vol. 2 among the more interesting new acts of Italy.
Hum is the debut full length album from Tears of Sirens.
Together Fabio Properzi plays piano, guitar, bass, cajon, programming, and is
the first voice of the project; Giulia Riboli plays theremin, theremini,
kaossilator and voice.
They create their own soundbanks using everything from the theremin and the
theremini. Their attitude in livesets is to play all that is playable captured
by looper pedal, for their grooves; acoustic music but with electronic matrix.
The theremin and the voice are always the protagonist.
As is known, the theremin has an almost mysterious and magical fascination,
because it's played without contact. With hand movements in the ether, farther
and closer to the antennas, the theremin player controls its tuning and volume.
Fabio Properzi, active on the italian music scene since 2006, already the
mind and pen behind the band Ameba4, Fabio Properzi is a singer, musician,
artistic-producer, arranger and song writer for some of the new emerging
italian talents.
He has worked as an author for Sugar Music from 2005 to 2012,
being professionally mentored by Corrado Rustici. Inspired by the atmospheres of
Nigel Godrich's music, Properzi's artistic production looks firmly at the
future.
In 2013, Fabio worked with Roberto Matarrese, to give life to the elctronical music project
Kinky Atoms, Kinky Atoms is very appreciated by
critics and in reviews by main italian alternative music magazines and it's also to be found here on Magnatune.
Giulia Riboli, approached the theremin in 2009, also thanks to the ecleptic italian thereminist Vincenzo Vasi. In 2011 she attended the "Theremin Summer Accademy", in Colmar (France) directed by the virtuous german thereminist Carolina Eyck.
Then she joined the concerts of prominent italian artists, such as Paolo Enrico Archetti Maestri (Yo Yo Mundi), the pianist Davide Calvi, and the percussionist Davide Merlino.
Giulia has played in clubs, theaters, castles, museums, contemporary art
galleries and picture galleries, but also at the private parties of international
companies such as Zeiss, and in scientific divulgation ceremonies, such as the BergamoScienza
Festival.
In 2013 Giulia played a concert organized by Biella Jazz Club, at 1,900 meters
altitude, on Monte Mucrone (BI), floating on a platform in the middle of a
mountain lake. In that same year she was presented to a conference, coordinated
by Peter Theremin, about the italian culture of theremin, at the Moscow Theremin
Studio.
Giulia Riboli compares favourably on the list of international theremin
performers of the russian website "Theremin Times" supervised by the nephew of
Leon Theremin, that is the inventor of theremin.
