Oh the power of the Internet--changing music, changing lives. Like an increasing number of collaborators, the duo known as My Violent Ego has been making music together for years without ever meeting, exchanging their ethereal vocals and shuffling drum loops online. Perhaps that's what gives these ambient tracks such a whispered, ephemeral feel.
Paolo met christy through mp3.com in late 2000. Paolo is from rome, italy, Christy from edingbourgh, scotland. They never met vis-?-vis for two years. They exchanged music files through internet and mail, her to vocals and violins, him to guitars, guitars, guitars and drumloops, setting up enough songs to self release an ep in 2001 L?tost, a first full length Feel Yr Sleep, and two years later, through an French indie label (Ocean Music) a new album called Carried Along By Fate. Then They met in 2003, for a couple of radio exibithions and gigs, and the year after for a some gigs around italy.
