In the early 70s, the adventure of one of the most famous groups of Castells Romani, a few steps from Rome (Italy), began. The harmonious melodies of progressive rock and the magical enchanted stories intertwined with the melodic songs of light music.
Sigmund Freud were born during a splendid summer in 1972. They were immediately inspired by the progressive rock of the moment and thus songs of an original, personal and lively musicality were born. A harmonic fusion where each had a part to play using what they had: their instrument. Few effects, lots of music. The images of the words intersected with the colors of the music creating harmonies and fantastic games of the protagonists in metaphysical, almost surreal stories. Until 1978 they participated in many concerts and rock gatherings that were held in the capital, in the Roman hinterland and in numerous Italian squares. Everywhere they received warm acclaim and appreciation for their music. – It is difficult to describe the music of Sigmund Freud, you have to listen to it -. Many beautiful memories of concerts at Villa Ada, Villa Pamphili, Conca d’Oro, just to name a few.
– In 1975 we recorded for two labels, RCA and EMI, but it was not possible, for internal reasons, to get to the point of making an album-.
Today, with the collaboration of the record label BLACK WIDOW RECORDS of Genoa – Italy, after a re-mastering of the songs composed and recorded in those years, maintaining their originality and the flavor of the 70s, will present, during the next Music Day, the release of the first CD and LP of the group.
The songs are the same ones they wrote and played in those years, small tweaks to the arrangements, vintage sounds and a lot of Hammond, Mini Moog and Mellotron.
Sigmund Freud will begin a tour in Italy and Europe in 2025. – We are proud to let people listen to something “new ” that goes far beyond the many covers that many artists normally propose. We have a great desire to play, music is life – . – It will not be just a musical concert but the meeting of various arts such as theater, dance and many other surprises, we want to give the public a multifaceted show that involves them from the beginning to the end of the last note -.
Here is a short synopsis of the songs: Fiori di Polvere Bianca is the encounter of a young man with drugs, the labyrinth of a useless freedom. Palla di Neve It is the story of those who suffer violence, the oppression of the strong over the weak. Snowball is the poor slave who is deported to America to plant cotton, sold at auction like a painting and despised, beaten, all under the same sky, the same God. And here is civil respect between everyone and with everyone. Giochi d’Ombre is a very sweet song . A sequence of images in which we cannot help but recognize ourselves. Our youth aimed at seeking non-existent worlds, family placements and parents different from those who generated us . Epilogo And the island where you can live alone or with your woman and then realize that everything you needed was just a stone’s throw away . We had always had it close by, we didn’t see it or didn’t want to see it? Cutting off all communication with the outside world, they said, would have solved the problems or expectations, instead the infinite is not passable and the miracle is destroyed, shattered by those dreams that had been created in vain. La Quiete dopo la Tempesta it is the explosion, the cry to come out of the shell, to learn to make your way through society by looking for the right path and respecting others .
The group will also present some songs that will be part of the next work such as: Nel Giardino della Fantasia almost a letter to his beloved, perhaps the words he never had the courage to say to her; Le Ali del Vento a song dedicated to people with disabilities but happy to have been born; Ballata It’s a journey through enchanted castles, Kings and Queens and minstrels.
Pendragon the story of rulers who try to hunt a poor fox, La Casa dei Sogni , a journey between reality and fantasy And La Carrozza del Duca , a journey through images and thoughts.
– We wanted to re-propose the songs as we played them in the 70s, to capture and convey the same sensations that inspired us in composing them -.
This is the current adventure of Sigmund Freud, it is the beginning of a phase in which age has no barriers, so there is nothing left to do but go and listen to them and with them take a journey through time with the magic that only music can give.
