BICYCLE INFO The song came to life on April 8, 2020, starting from recorded vocal ideas that were later transformed into instruments, with particular care and attention to detail. Chris sang, played, recorded, programmed, produced, and mixed all parts in his studio in Milan, except for the drums added by Phil Mer in the second part. Mixing was done on Studer and Harrison mixers, with finalization on tape via the Studer A80 recorder. Mastering was entrusted to Giovanni Versari. As for the cover, it was generated using artificial intelligence.
ADDITIONAL INFO Bicycle was conceived during the period when the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers prohibited Italians from moving more than 150 meters from home for an entire month. Not even an hour of outdoor time was allowed, causing shock, anger, and general astonishment among the population. It's worth noting that this strict restriction was not adopted by other democratic countries in the first world. For example, in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, and Spain, at least an hour of outdoor time was permitted. The decision of the Italian prime minister at the time, G.C., to implement such a severe and risky measure, remains unclear. Bicycle took shape simply by observing the bicycle tied in front of the house. Although it's painful to recall that difficult period for everyone, it's important not to forget those moments and actions. It's only by remembering the past that we can aspire to a better future, toward which we all must strive.
