Mappe Nootiche - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The roots of MAPPE NOOTICHE lay in an outfit named M.C. NOON, formed by Andrea Fiorin (bass, synthesizer, loop machine, voices), Umberto Schirosi (guitars, voices) and Luca Galimberti (percussion, loop machine) in 2000. They played improvised experimental sounds under the influence of Space Rock, Krautrock, and Rock Progressivo Italiano.

The band has so far released one album and I got in touch with them for the story. Andrea answered my questions.

	This is a very cool band I first heard years ago on Myspace, before Myspace sucked. Those who enjoy trippy soundscapes should check them out. Edited by Finnforest - May 08 2011 at 09:57
