Selvans vs Luigi Musolino
Ideas are like ghosts, they manifest on the staff and not only there…
When I started to work on the new EP, I felt an unstoppable whistle in my head, four modulated notes that announced the coming of something… Of Someone… The coming of Corvo Morto!
After writing the first notes it was clear that my contribution could have restricted to the capturing of sounds that sourrounded ‘Corvo’.
But in order to imprint Him in other forms, I needed to involve someone more capable than me.
Luigi Musolino was the name.
Born in Idrasca (Italy) but skilled world wanderer: from Salem to Innsmouth, from Derry to Twin Peaks…
Who better than an arald of the Italian folk horror to recreate all the Corvo-related acts and superstitions!?
Below you’ll find his known deeds… Haven’t seen him around in a while!
Is it perhaps that he joined Corvo Morto’s Black Carnival?
