Nic Gyalson’s project started 2013, coming back from a business trip (shooting for the documentary Storia di Un Casco by Fulvio Mariani) in the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh, where the name of the Swiss artist also belongs.
The debut album ALLUVISION, in which Nic is flanked by drummer Dario Pedrazzi, was released on May the 20th 2016. On the record are engraved 13 original tracks, which are deeply rooted in the blues, in the psychedelic rock, in the soul and minimal elec-tronic music.
After a few months of live gigs, the duo was joined onstage by 2 musicians: Serena Maggini, co-composer of some of the songs for ALLUVISION, and Francesco Martire.

“It’s about growing up, about beginning and ending, about times when awareness breaks apart, about the change of perspective that makes you think you’re losing your mind.
It’s about loneliness, about feeling disconnected from the world around you; when it feels like you’ve grown a century older in two years. It’s also about the anguish of time, and how much we can’t fully understand it.
It’s a story of anxiety, yet still amazing and thrilling, like space-time travel, or hal-lucinations. ALLUVISION, an alluvion of visions. Anything can happen when you’re in that situation and you’re overwhelmed by emotions; when anything that crosses your mind instantly materializes. All-U-Vision, all you can imagine.”,
Nic Gyalson.
