Started in 2018, our collaboration has always been focused on the research of an artistic production whose meaning went beyond the musical purpose only. Over the time, this research led us to face the need to organize our shared principles and creative ideas, into a well-defined line of thought guiding and characterizing our production: this is how Inconscious Wave born. Our goal has become the creation of artistic products with an innovative cultural significance, combined with the need to take an aware and active role in its realization. Therefore we identified two necessary elements to pursue our aim: the value of the artistic contents, and a review of the artist figure. We believe that good artistic idea's content is the founding element, and the first engine, of a culturally relevant work. This is why we think it is necessary to search, develop and support well-shaped and innovative contents, to enrich the existing cultural material. About the artist, there are three features he must aspire to pursue: in addition to being technically qualified, he has to be an active researcher of innovative contents, and be involved in their elaboration and growing through extensive collaboration with other artists. Although the goal we set may not always be easy to achieve, our research and production activities, inspired by these principles, constitutes the essence and the true meaning of the Inconscious Wave concept.
