Soundtrack: Rockit vol. 59 – speciale MI AMI 2014 [free streeming & free download]
I’m so indie that I listen to indie music.
I’m so indie that I love handmade and independent publishing market stalls.
I’m so indie that I would stay hours admiring Baronciani while he’s drawing.
I can do nothing about that.
Since I know enough about music, but I can’t write about it, I dedicate my report to market stalls.
Thing that make me so indie, by the way.
Those who were there will find links a good selection of exhibitors, as he would have lost the business cards into the grass, or in the super dark chemical toilets.
And the others have now the possibility to find out what they missed, and recover.
This is part #2 of a very long, but ridiculously good looking article.
Torsonudo
Rosco and Livio are graphic designers by day and they both play bass guitar in Sacramento band. They have been screenprinting for 3 years and since then they printed posters for: Il Buio, Crooks on Tape, Crash of Rhinos, Zen Circus, Fine Before You Came, Polar For The Masses. As they say: “We do not print on t-shirts. Not yet, at least. For this reason we are torsonudo” [lit. shirtless].
For MIAMI festival they are working with Alessandro Baronciani for a limited edition (30 pieces) of the Mermaid print.
Watch the Crash of Rhinos poster making of on Youtube.
Odd
Oscar is an illustrator and graphic designer, and plays in a band too. Besides his passion for music, in his works there are a lot of movies and Seventies atmosphere inspirations. He has a workshop in Bolzano, where he lives.
He brought to MIAMI a lot of posters and recent animal prints on wood.
Clockwork Pictures
Fabio works in Rome as a visual designer and photographer.
Among his latest prints, beautiful posters for the QOTSA and Editors concerts in Bologna. His passion for the Art Nouveau often appears in his graphics.
At MIAMI he shared the stall with Odd, and their neighbours were the guys of Torsonudo. In short, the angle of the temptations.

Overdrive
An independent label from Calabria (South Italy), which released Kyle, Camera237, Minus Tree and the CD version of Agatha new album.
There’s no need to say that I fell in love with the music of Kyle at first listen… Moreover, the covers by Tycho Creative Studio are amazing!
Watch Kyle’s video, directed by Giacomo Triglia, on Wired.
We love rock
Kitchen gloves, pot holders, placemats: all screen printed by hand and dedicated to the legends of rock music, born from the collaboration between “a stylist influenced by the underground culture, an illustrator and musician with a passion for rock, a screen printer and a graphic designer.”
At MIAMI they had also black ceramic platters in the shape of LP record… Really great!
These guys are seriously working on their project, they have a professional advertising campaign, edited by Thomas Pagani, a young but very talented photographer (it’s really worth to take a look to his website).</p
