Salvatore Setola

I was born on January 6, 1986 in Caserta, but I live in Casal di Principe, where music came to save me in the guise of Kurt Cobain. I graduated in "History and Criticism of Art" from the University of Salerno with a thesis on the relationship between the visual arts and music. Since 2007 I've been contributing to Ondarock, working mainly on in-depth features, in particular the "Milestones" column. For the quarterly magazine "Il Mucchio Extra" I published a short series of articles on the influence of artistic avant-gardes on rock music. I'm as stubborn as a Black Sabbath riff, but I love a good discussion. I'm as introverted as a shoegaze track, but I think I'm always kind and well-disposed towards others. I believe life is as absurd as a Robert Wyatt lyric, and that's exactly why I see irony as redemptive. I'm an incurable dreamer who, however, sometimes comes full circle into nihilism. In that sense, if I were a song, I'd be something like "We Must Bleed" by the Germs, but sung by Van Morrison. My spiritual guide is Marcel Duchamp, the food I could never give up is pizza, the affliction I'll never be cured of is Liverpool Football Club.
