About

fratto9 under the sky records is also a tribute in memory of AL APRILE, constantly up-to-date journalist, very expert of the international music scene, a sensible collector of records, magazines and rock memorabilia, a disc-jockey and radio programmer, among the early founders of Radio Popolare in Milano, attentive concert-goer, but constantly attentive to all new trends in music creation and in the music business.
But not only: a musician himself, author, guitar player and singer of a music style completely of his own, which might be defined country-rock-blues, had just finished the recordings included in this album and was preparing with his band a series of promotional gigs, when his danger-looking and unlucky life came suddenly to its end.
This record label is then his testimony, for his many friends who remember him with love and frienship, of his personal music project, which unfortunately could never set to flight.
AL APRILE, a young myth, victim of his own impatience for living, for experimenting, for exceeding, for going always a bit further, sometimes too far, a man who will remain forever young.


Contact

I work closely with other studios and individuals if projects require special skill-sets or larger teams. Below are short descriptions and links to my closest associates and friends with whom I work, but also respect tremendously.

Please take a moment to explore these spaces as they will give you an idea of the great talent available, as well as being great sources of inspiration.


READ BEFORE SEND A DEMO:

So, before write me and loose your time and money, please make a tour on this site.
If you are searching for a "real" label with all the business related activity, just this is the wrong place.
Listen sampler and choose what to do.
Feel free to send me your demo and be sure I'll listen but please don't send mp3 or myspace link!!

ATTENZIONE: leggere prima di spedire del materiale audio


01. ascoltate prima di spedirmi del materiale i brani che trovate nel sito, così da avere una idea sull'attitudine musicale dell'etichetta
02. è vivamente consigliato di scrivermi prima di spedire del materiale
03. non allegare mp3 alla mail
04. non mandate link a pagine su myspace, è vergognoso pensare di valutare un lavoro attraverso dei file compressi e di bassa qualità
06. se il vostro materiale dovesse essere di particolare interesse per le mie orecchie, mi metterò in contatto con voi. state certi che tutto il materialeche mi perverrà, in un modo o nell'altro verrà ascoltato.
