“Ballads for the dust,

suites for faulty devices".

----------------------------------------

A Smog Museo is a foggy trip between guitar echoes, delays, dusty memories, piano tapes, glitches and minimal electronics.

A sound cut-up between ambient-electro melodies and radio-television memories.

A Smog Museo is a collage that combines and glues nostalgia to the cold sounds of modernity.

"If I had to represent the imagery that moves ASM I would use the following suggestions: 50s science fiction, outer planets, faulty machines, snowy landscapes, ephemera, obsolete computers, old documentaries, unlikely astronauts and everything that is always alive in our memories and it keeps our nostalgia alive, that same nostalgia that keeps us alive, despite the time and technologies run fast and become part of us.

A flow, a snake biting its own tail… like Robert Frost's “Stay Gold”.

Nazario Graziano - A SMOG MUSEO

A Smog Museo is a musical project in the name of Nazario Graziano, former guitarist and founder of the post-rock group - “Il rumore del fiore di carta” - illustrator and collage artist in everyday life.

Singles and videos presented so far anticipate the release of the debut album entitled "Untitled 01" scheduled for March 25, 2022 and are part of a creative and compositional journey that began at the end of 2019 that found the decisive push in full pandemic lockdown .

The structure of the individual tracks, as well as the concept of the project itself, undergoes several revisions and changes, until it finds its final form in a series of electro, romantic and visionary ballads, which are supported on sound structures halfway between digital and analog.

Two approaches used in the drafting and recording of the 14 tracks, precisely through the use of classical instruments (guitars, piano, synths) and digital.

The album was entirely recorded, arranged, mixed and produced by A Smog Museo,
between December 2019 and December 2021.
