#roundshoulder is about the sound of acoustic guitars with round… shoulders. Something I wanted to do since quite a while. A simple show with just a vox and an acoustic guitar to recall the feelings and the intimacy of small situations.

#roundshoulder – il suono delle spalle tonde

As I wrote in one of the last posts, #roundshoulder is now an album (see front cover above). Meanwhile check the videos below.

West coast and singer-songwriters. The music who has contributed the most to spread the acoustic guitar sound (mine is a #roundshoulder, by the way) through the masses.

  • high defnition audio for audiophiles (24bit – 96 KHz)
  • CD definition for… nostalgics (16bit – 44,1 KHz)
