The Music Beat of My City - The Ghost Effects (Turin, Italy)
What does your city sound like? What music does it love? What rhythm is it beating to? Our new project "The Music Beat of My City" is dedicated to the musical bands of Volgograd and its twin-cities. Here, you can see and hear the performances by the classic and folk music ensembles, as well as very much modern bands.
On May 18, 2021, the photographic exhibition "Turin - one city, a thousand souls" was published on the "Volgograd – the capital of people's diplomacy" website – an exhibition dedicated to Volgograd's first Italian twin-city. In honor of this event, this series of publications begins with Turin's performers.
Our first guests are "The Ghost Effects" indie band, very well-known in the last ten years, and their song "Korsakoff Syndrome". This video is a journey of shadows, played by the band in a tunnel.
Watch "The Ghost Effects" on YouTube:
The music video was directed by Max Chicco, a great collaborator to Claudio Vernetti, the band's guitarist. It is to Max Chicco that we extend our gratitude for the materials displayed!
