Hi guys,
I am Davide, founder, keyboardist and composer of Lay Of The Autumn 🍁🍂
Although my face may shows how much I am tired about all the issues to make this album come true, I am actually super happy that this dream is now real!
I am that kind of person who still loves to hold a physical copy in his hands 💿
I personally write this message to all of the fans, in order to thank you for your support 🙏
You cannot imagine how much your kind words give me the strenght to carry on day by day, with everything concerns music and audio, which are my passions first of all 🎶🎧
This album has a strong meaning to me, I composed every note according to my emotions and even my life experiences 🎹
There is a lot of myself inside it: memories, feelings, philosophies about life and love. There is also a lot of her... 💔
This album came true also thank to the efforts of my bandmates Michele, Davide and Cesare, who are excellent musicians and friends from a long time, already my bandmates in several projects.
They are the best I know, after all this time they really read in my mind and know exactly how I would like their arrangements in my songs 🎸🎸🥁
I stronghly wanted Iryna as a singer from the first time I met her in Kiev, not only 'cause I believe she is amazing when she sings, but also because she is a friend to me. Someone I met during my journey in this life.
Despite the war in her country she was able to record her voice for this album, like the professionist she is ⭐️
Now you can understand how much is complicated to tape a videoclip to us right now 🎥
I really wish the end of the war in her country; she should sing, sing and sing again, not to be worry about what could happen tomorrow; noone should.
I thank Andrea (whom we are going to present you as it should be, soon), who recorded the growl parts as a real monster ahah, and they are PERFECT!! 🎤
I thank Ettore who mixed and mastered the album as if this band was his own, his contribution has been invaluable 💎🎧
I thank Mattias who designed the artwork of all of my albums, included "Of Love and Sorrow"; he is really the best in my opinion, I am holding a little masterpiece in my hands 🎨
I thank Flarescape who shooted our photos merging us in the lay of the autumn, to create the booklet 📸
In the end I thank Roberto of Rockshots Records who believed in me for all this time.
In this world which is full of people who close the door in your face, finding someone who trusts in you and your work is a light in the darkness ✨
The album is available in Digipak CD and on all digital platforms.

With love (and sorrow),
Davide
