La Guerra Delle Formiche (The War Of the Ants) is an italian indie rock project born as half a one-man-band, half a group. Based on the work of the musician/composer Carlo Sanetti, the project has not a stable line-up and is open to cooperation at any level. At the present time, a namesake EP ("La Guerra delle Formiche") has been released in December 2006, which features 8 songs (in italian language and poetic attitude) resembling 70's italian prog, the guitar style of indie rock bands such Marlene Kuntz, Blonde Redhead and Ulan Bator and Mogwai-like post rock. Completely a DIY production (pure home recording), "La Guerra delle Formiche" is available in free download (including artwork and lyrics) at www.laguerradelleformiche.com . The EP features the collaboration of Massimiliano Lorenzoni (drums), Matteo Maienza (piano) and Maria Livia Nicotra (vocals). The project is going on in the direction of DIY production and singer-songwriter/open collective style with many influences, from neoprog/post rock to electronica/post punk. A new record in two version (italian and english language) is expected for 2008. New things can be listened to on MySpace (www.myspace.com/laguerradelleformiche).
