Sergio Calzoni -

Sergio grew up in the 80s listening to
bands such as Freur and Duran Duran. His
father introduced him to classical music
(Rossini, Strauss), science fiction (above
all “2001 a Space Odyssey”) and he
taught him how to listen music not just
as pure entertainment. Under the
influence of his grandfather instead he
started studying music, learning to play
the clarinet and the accordion. Anyway
after some years tired of playing waltz,
polka & mazurka music-styles, he got
brainwashed by Depeche Mode and Claudio
Simonetti… therefore synthesizers became
the must-have instruments to play. As
birthday present his parents bought him
the first keyboard: a very crappy GEM
VS2. At the age of fourteen he joined
the rock-band of his “cool” village
(Sant’Agostino) but, except having a lot
of fun with the other members, he
understood that it was not the way to
make music he was looking for… Therefore
he quit Baghdad Subways (this was the
name of the band) and he started
exploring the many possibilities offered
by the use of the sequencer. After a
while he changed keyboard with a more
powerful one (a less crappy GEM WX2!),
by means of it he started composing his
own tunes. Soon he managed to complete
his first demo-tape, and this was the
starting point of the Alma Mater
project. The rest is history… (see
chronology section of the site).
