A piece of the dark sky. The Swans in Milan.



Yes I know its almost summer and light is finally decent upon us. it needs an enormous effort to try and get back into what has been a quintessential experience we had last month at Michael Gira's Swans gig here in Milan. it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and I have almost lost hearing. I have actually felt I did once we came out of this psichedelic noise momentum. Michael is like an experienced shaman driving all energies in and out his music partners. He owns the Swans. He is a mythological yet very real being. Michael is a true underground hero whose ability is to cross all music ages as an absolute winner.(from post punk to neo folk psichedelia and drone ). We were at 1 meter from him. Many left for the noise. Many stayed. We couldn't be any closer to SWANS art. A performance for the rotten souls, the true unforgettable fire celebrating one of the best albums of the decade : the Seer. Eternal Glory to Michael Gira, the priest of the New Mind.
