Behind Pola is Tazio Iacobacci. He is a composer and songwriter based in Catania. He began in the early 90s as a drummer for 'Keen Toy', realizing an LP for Indigena Records, several compilations with bands of the Italian indie scene and touring as support act for bands as Unwound, Girls Against Boys, Bedhead, Three Second Kiss, Uzeda. At the same time he developes his interest in composing music shifting between acoustic and electronic soundscapes. In 2001 he starts his activity for theatre, composing the original music for Luna Dagosto a work by Fabrizio Bordignon e Franco Conte and Eppure Europa by Paola Greco e Davide Crimi. In November 01 his composition for sextet Rachel is selected for the Contemporary Music Festival in Rovereto esecuted by the Renato Dionisi chamber ensemble. Tazio creates soundtracks for Italian dance-theatre performances like Die Mauer il Muro by Valeria Geremia and 4 Caminos by Motomimetico, performed in Catania and Rome in the winter 2002. In the 2003 he also carried out installations for the International festival Mappe and for Svendita Fallimentare by Majaz... For his original way of combining electronic and minimal songwriting hes been asked to join productions like : Songs for Ulan an electro-acoustic project by Pietro de Cristofaro signed to Stout Music, remixing In coda a Cesare Basile single for Mescal label. Actually he plays with 'Tellaro', a slow-core band signed to 2nd Records, based in Hamburg. In addition to playing drums he also contributes with programming 'electronic' parts. Another Tazio's project is Feldmann, runned with Massimo Ferrarotto (Puertorico-Loma). Mainly It's a guitar duo and the musical approach is close to american indie-songwriting style. In 2006 January their first Lp will be relesed by StoutMusic/Shinseiky. In recent times Tazio run his first electronic project Pola, that features collaborations with several musicians and singers. In april 2004 Pola has been selected, as Italian representative project, to play the live performance at the electronic international music festival Distorsonie in Bologna.

Ricordavo di questo ennesimo progetto di Rob Crow, ma questo video
mi era proprio sfuggito... chi conosce il cantante/chitarrista di Heavy Vegetable,
Thingy, Pinback, ed altre band.... sa be ne quanto sia eclettico il ragazzo...
Non posso che dare un "10 e lode..."
