About "One Time, Somewhere": “I write the music I would like to hear,” Marco says “…and I try to bring to life what I hear in my head. While the concept of ‘unconventional music’ is pretty much relative, these songs are my humble try in terms of giving new life to the overused pop song formula. Like a photographer who captures a moment in time, I wanted to convey images, memories and feelings into music. I did not focus on musicianship, but on a sense of aesthetic. The aim was to create a unique blending of sounds, which had to work as a whole.” One Time, Somewhere features the talents of Francesco Zampi, Pat Mastelotto, Rob Fetters, and Mark Kostabi on most tracks. The result is an extremely fresh and diverse album. Critically acclaimed drummer Pat Mastelotto says: “I had a lot of fun working on Marco’s record. One of the first tracks he sent me sounded like The Beatles with Tom Waits! What a band that would have been,” and also added: “We have stayed in touch throughout the year as Marco overdubbed and mixed, so I can tell he has a keen ear for details without loosing the big picture. It’s pop packed with nice surprises.” Here’s what legendary guitarist and songwriter Steve Hackett has to say about One Time, Somewhere: “It is really good and well crafted and I very much enjoyed it. Beautiful voice at the beginning and interesting atmospheres and contrasting moods. Days of Summertime has some fascinating sounds."
