Federico Zampaglione has a new single: Puntofermo. He has also just presented the horror film The Well, which he directed. And today he says in an interview with Republic he says that “we are bombarded: the violence, everyone who wants to sell you something, the gurus who want to teach you about life. The individual gets lost in an ocean of information. He asks himself: okay, but where should I go? We need a port in the storm, whether it's a book, a love, a dog like in the song's video.” His refuge is “family, my films, my songs. I feel well in there, I feel protected, the best in me comes out. But fixed points are built at the cost of sacrifices, because you must first identify them, then defend them, otherwise they disappear. And defend what you are believe is expensive.”
The music
The former Tiromancino talks about his field: “I have heard of young people being crushed by the music industry machine and that horrifies me. But now there is no longer an area where we cannot be crushed. And with social networks, those with the most followers are put on an equal footing with those who are competent, easy money is promised, immediate success is sought. As the father of a teenager, I worry.” Success, he says, “doesn't exist, it has no shape or smell. As you have it, you lose it. Instead of there is passion and commitment.” And we save ourselves by “shifting our focus from 'what I receive' to 'what I give.' Truly being inside what you do and then share it. It is my generation that must guide young people, with advice and good examples. Otherwise the wall will be created: the baby boomers, the millennials. We are all getting lost.”
The meeting
He then talks about the possible reunion of Tiromancino: “It would be good to reunite the musicians who are part of the project over time. Who knows. Meanwhile, in 2025, I will organize a special event for the 25th anniversary of The Description of a Moment.” And he talks about his beginnings as a bluesman in the clubs: “I was not good at school, At 16 my father gave me a cassette of Eric Clapton and I was amazed. Then he took me to see Roberto Ciotti in concert, I left the club saying: “I know what I want to do “”. Finally, he explains what love is at his age: “There is more consciousness, more spontaneity. If you don't understand certain mechanisms, you complicate love to the point of ruining it. L “Experience helps.”
