Thank you for your visit.
Greetings.

CLAUDIO and PAOLO FAGGION.


The band's activity is almost stopped (as always, for several years now); currently, about music, we are doing very few things, always there are more important things to do outside music.
In this web page we have included links to almost all the songs of the band; scroll down the page.

This is the short report of INTER NOS' activity in the year 2023.
We started playing live again: in the summer we made 2 concerts.
There have been contacts, sometimes casual, sometimes desired, with other musicians: some initiatives are envisaged for the future. We will see how many good intentions will come true.
(News included on December 31st, 2023)



We are in the spring of 2023. We have skipped almost entirely the first 3 months of the year without updates in the website, both due to laziness, both to lack of time, and finally due to the absence of events worthy of reporting.
We are doing some rehearsals, with mixed results (some good, some not).
In our projects, in the medium term, there is the resumption of live activity. Take note: Saturday, July 8th, 2023, 9.30 pm, at the LOCANDA ALLA STAZIONE in Latisana (UD), Italy, Viale Stazione n. 42. As soon as everything will be defined, the date will be inserted in the section of the scheduled concerts. A band which mainly proposes cover songs should play with us.
Both Paolo and I are currently engaged in other musical activities, for charitable purposes, compatibly with the limited time available.

Last message of the year 2022.
In this year we made some rehearsals, in which we recovered the 3 most recent songs, and little else. The right year for recovery will always be the next one.
There are some proposals for concerts, we'll see what to do.
In 2022 there were almost all the festivals and concerts skipped in 2020 and 2021: after years, I resumed sleeping in the car, just to attend some events.
Contacts with musicians: very rare.
As for me (Claudio) personally: 2021 was the year of change, 2022 was the year of adjustment, 2023 hopefully will be the year of improvement.
I predict battles: best wishes, especially to me.

In this very brief update, I would like to point out that in the summer of 2022, in Friuli (north east Italy), the festivals that have been skipped or have been held in reduced form in recent years, are scheduled: Pietrasonica, Erèsia, Summer Metal, as far as I know. Search into the web. Due to work, commitments, and certainly also unforeseen events, it will be a good result if I can only see one night of one of the shows.
(News included on April 25th, 2022)


This is the first update of the year 2022; we continue along the same gray line of 2021: good intentions, both ours and those of other musicians, but little more.
Italian "customs duties" on packages to and from outside Europe: you pay not only to send them, but also to receive them. Basically, if I want to ship or to receive a CD, the shipping costs and taxes are higher than the value of the disc. A shame: I will stop the correspondence with Countries outside Europe, which is already at the minimum terms.

No updates to be published regarding the activities of the musical band INTER NOS in 2021, because nothing has been done. Maybe in 2022 it will get better.
(News included on December 31st, 2021)


Although today there is the so-called "pink moon", the night remains dark and endless.
It is useless to have any illusions: in Italy the colors of the areas change, and now in the north east Italy we are in the yellow one (for a little while longer, then we will inexorably return to orange or directly red), but the curfew and probation remain.
Concerts are not even talked about: so much so that the big or presumed such have already postponed the dates (of 2020) to 2022 or, like Tiziano Ferro, directly to 2023. For us amateur musicians, it will be the same or even worse: in fact, with the current anticovid measures, I don't see how it is possible for a common pub to hold a concert inside the club, or even outside, considering the curfew at 10pm.
Perhaps it is better to stop playing, directly.
I really want to see how many musicians will start to play again in 2023.
Enthusiasm is "down at the heels" (sotto i tacchi, we say in Italy).

We reproduce the message we published on the first page of the Italian section.
There continue to be technical problems with the server hosting this website. If you notice that there are no updates for 3 months, it means that we have had enough of these events, and the site should be considered abandoned.

In an interview I read this sentence: "The less you remember something, the less you will miss it". It is also true for concerts, for football matches seen at the stadium, for pizzas with whoever we like, and in general for freedom. All people shut up. A year of alternating house arrest and probation, under the pretext of a health emergency, has passed; in addition, the great political leaders and medical professors still ask us for sacrifices, and what about the results? Almost zero; 300 dead persons by Covid-19 every day.
INTER NOS band have been stopped since February 2020, and it will remain stopped indefinitely.
The bass guitar sleeps in its case.
Who knows if some amateur band will start playing again, when this Covid-19 story will be over; in my opinion, they will be very few.
Similarly, there will be very few clubs that will organize concerts, and definitely only cover-tribute bands will play.
After all, who will INTER NOS do concerts for? Everything has been brought to zero. There is, and there will be, total apathy, disinterest, and indifference. Do not tell me that I am a defeatist: the things went in that way before February 2020; now we are all in forced hibernation, and in the future there will be a dramatic amplification of the phenomenon above illustrated.
News: we are back in the "Red Zone" for the umpteenth time.
We have passed from the health dictatorship to "democracy from above", as the jurist Gustavo Zagrebelsky has defined the Mario Draghi's government, which has drawn almost all parties into it. In this way, from now on, we will not know who we can complain to. At least 85% of the parliamentarians, elected by us, agree.
Italians have a short memory: it is enough to give them football matches on TV, soap operas, the television variety with tits and asses, the Sanremo music festival, and they are happy; so you can give them even perennial house arrest.
Into a website you can read: "New Year's Eve in lockdown, one Italian out of 5 in bed before midnight"; I was among these, for the first time since I can remember. If the fireworks hadn't woken me, I would have been able to sleep until morning.
Good night: it will be very long and very dark.

We thank ALBA CADUCA, rock band from Udine, for sending us their CD Nigredo.
Report of the musical activity of INTER NOS in the year 2020:
- rehearsals: one, or maybe two; we haven't done any since the end of February.
- concerts: none. Maybe on 2022.
- recordings: in raw version, for personal use, the musical parts (without the voice) of the songs Pifferai, Essere senziente and L'ora do, the ones composed after the release of the 2009, CD Produzione Propria.
- contacts: via email or snail mail letter with distant correspondents; some replied, some did not, some letters and some emails returned to the sender.
Here in Italy we are forced by law to remain at home till January 3rd, 2021; then, there will be a relative freedom on January 4th, and again the red zone will come back on January 5th and 6th.
Everything will be fine? If you are so convinced ...
(News included on December 31st, 2020)


There aren't important news, since the last update.
No rehearsals, and no concerts in the near future; maybe, next year.
We planned a concert on July, with a stoner rock band, but we were obliged to delete it.
In Italy, now, is pratically impossible to make concerts, especially in small pubs; there are a lot of health restrictions on public places due to the coronavirus epidemic.
After two months of "house arrest" since March to May, and after 5 months of "probation" until now, we come back at the starting point as in March, and we should not be surprised if there will soon be a new lockdown.
The enthusiasm is at zero level.
(News included on October 30th, 2020)


Musical activity is stopped, as you can imagine.
Regarding the current situation, I would like to write many things, but remembering the saying "a nice silence was never written" (Italian phrase: "un bel tacer non fu mai scritto"), I renounce.
Lonely Happy Easter.

This is the last update of the year 2019. The only important things we've made, are the 2 concerts: see the last updates. The project is to make a concert on July 2020, and probably it will be the last one; after that concert, we'll stop the activity. Thank you.
(News included on December 30th, 2019)


In the year 2019 we made about 10 rehearsals and 2 concerts:
1) Locanda Alla Stazione, Latisana (province of Udine, Italy), July 6th, 2019; it was the concert number 127 of our career. Songs: Miraggio, Prima del tempo, L'ora do, Tacere, Essere senziente, Piccolo G., Ingannare, Terre, Voltare pagina, Magia, 1999,5, Sospesi, Abbandono, and, finally, another time the song Miraggio; rainy night. We started to play at 9.15 P.M as first band; after us, at 10.00 P.M., played the band TILDA'S WAVE, stoner rock.
2) Park of Via Salvador Allende, La Salute, San Stino di Livenza (province of Venezia - Venice, Italy), October 19th, 2019; it was the concert number 128 of our career. Songs: Miraggio, Prima del tempo, L'ora do, Tacere, Essere senziente, Piccolo G., Ingannare, Terre, Voltare pagina, 1999,5, Sospesi, Abbandono. We played into a little shed. However, it was a quite hot day.
We don't know if there will be other concerts of INTER NOS band, this year; let's see.
(News included on October 23rd, 2019)



During the year 2019 we made, at the moment, one rehearsal.
Probably there will be a concert on July 6th, 2019, at “Locanda alla Stazione” in Latisana, province of Udine, with another band.
The activity of INTER NOS band goes on slowly.
(News included on March 31st, 2019)



This is the report of INTER NOS’ activity during the year 2018.
Concerts: 2. Concerts in the INTER NOS’ career: 126.
New songs: one, entitled “L’ora do”.
We made about 10 rehearsals.
This year, if I well rememeber, I didn’t send packets with our CD to pubs, asking for concerts. Into 50 km far from Pordenone or San Michele al Tagliamento, we contacted almost all places. There is no interest in our musical proposal and, besides, we can’t actually make a 2-hours concert.
Have an happy 2019.
(News included on December 30th, 2018)



On July 7th, 2018, we played live at Locanda Alla Stazione, in the village of Latisana, province of Udine, Italy; it was a concert with INTER NOS and ROADKILL, rock band from Udine, Italy.
We played as first band. We played about 30 minutes, then ROADKILL played 30 minutes too, until 10.30 P.M.; at that hour, it started to rain, and the concert was stopped. We played 11 songs, included a new one, entitled L’ora do, for the first time. Surely, it wasn’t the best concert in our career, for several reasons (rain, very few people, technical problems, and so on). We hope the the next one, when it will be (we don't know), will be better than this one. Thanks to Andrea Ravanello, the owner of Locanda Alla Stazione, a very gentleman.
(News included on August 1st, 2018)



During the year 2018 we made some rehearsals. We finished a new song, entitled L’ora do. We’ll play it during the next concert, maybe.

This is a short report of INTER NOS’ activity during the year 2017.
Concerts: 2. Concerts in the INTER NOS’ career: 124.
We made about 10 rehearsals, as in the year 2016.
We sent 10 packets with our CD to pubs (during the year 2016: 50 packets), asking for concerts.
We made some exchanges with bands, distros or “simply” persons who gave us Cds.
Have an happy 2018.

Second update during this year. About music, very few things happened (not important ones).
On September 2nd, 2017, we played live at Osteria Da Omero, in the village of Ronchis, province of Udine, Italy; it was a concert with INTER NOS and FABIAN RIZ, a bluesman from Cormons (province of Gorizia), a village at the borders with Slovenia. Voice, electric guitar, harmonica, lyrics in "friulano" (the local language of Friuli Venezia Giulia, north east Italy). Here is the poster. About 50 people arrived: it's good. Nice event.
(News included on September 03rd, 2017)



In the first part of this year the activity was stopped. Claudio and Paolo made rehearsals with their old band POLIPHONIX, which finally made a concert on April 22nd, 2017, in order to celebrate 35 years from the birth; the precise date of POLIPHONIX's birth was August 23rd, 1987, which is also the title of an instrumental song ("23 agosto 1987", or literally "ventitré agosto millenovecentoottantasette") of that band. Probably that concert was the final act of the band. There is no more interest in the old fans of the band, which didn't come to the concert; other people didn't come because, obviously, they didn't know the band.
After the pause, now the activity of INTER NOS starts again, slowly. We asked to participate in a musical contest which will be on July, in the province of Udine; let's see if the organizers will call us.

This is a report of INTER NOS’ activity during the year 2016.
Concerts: 2. Concerts in the INTER NOS’ career: 122.
We made about 10 rehearsals.
We sent about 50 packets with our CD to pubs, asking for concerts; no results in 2016, maybe we’ll play there in 2017.
Have an happy 2017.
(News included on December 31st, 2016)



During these 8 months of the year 2016 we made 2 concerts; one in Cormòns (province of Gorizia, Italy), Circolo ARCI EventualMente, on February, with the band INES LEE (rock), about 50 persons were there; another one in Latisana (province of Udine, Italy), Locanda Alla Stazione, on July, with the band TILDA’S WAVE (instrumental stoner rock), about 30 persons were there.
On July we sent about 20 packets with CD to pubs, asking for a concert on Autumn 2016 or after.
(News included on August 21st, 2016)



Very short report, about our activities in 2015: 3 concerts, some swaps, some rehearlsals. The general situation is (more or less) the same that I wrote into the update of December 30th, 2014. We hope that the new year will be better than this ending 2015, in every sense.
(News included on December 31st, 2015)



We had a big technical problem. Paolo’s historical electronic percussions has failed, perhaps permanently. We made rehearsals and the concert on July 25th, 2015 with another instrument. We are obliged, now, to change the structure of almost all the songs.
(News included on August 21st, 2015)



The only important thing happened this year, till now, is the concert made on March 13th, 2015 at Bar Italia, in San Michele al Tagliamento, province of Venezia, Italy. We played with the band MAGIC ENTROPY STUDIO, electro-rock. We played these songs: Miraggio, Tacere, Terre, Voltare pagina, Piccolo G., Pifferai, Essere senziente, Transizione, 1999,5 , Magia, Sospesi, Abbandono. A quite good performance. About 30 persons were at the show: it means that Bar Italia was almost “sold out”.
Other thing: I sent about 10 letters to pubs, asking for concerts.
Look at the cover of BLUR’s new work “The magic wip”: in it you’ll see an ice-cream; do you remember the cover of INTER NOS’ work “Produzione propria”, published in the year 2009? An ice-cream, too. Do you know a German prog rock band named ARDO DOMBEC and its album published in the year 1971? What is the strange thing in the cover? Ehm...
(News included on May 24th, 2015)



This is a report of INTER NOS’ activity during the year 2014.
Concerts: 3. Gain: zero Euros. Concerts in the INTER NOS’ career: 117.
Very few opportunities, as usual. The situation gets worse. A pub promised us, as “gain”, the money that people will put into a box during the concert. We refused to play into that place. That thing is called “alms”; sorry, into a pub I don’t play for alms; rather than play for alms, we prefer to play for free, it’s more decorous.
We composed 2 new songs, Pifferai and Essere senziente. the song Pifferai was played live one time, the song Essere senziente was played live 2 times. We made a home-recording of these 2 songs.
We recorded a new version of the song Miraggio; in it, there are guitar’s parts and vocal’s parts by Marco Baldi (18 years old), keyboard’s and violin’s parts played by Lorenzo Gioelli (17 years old); these 2 young musicians play in a cover prog rock band named DJANGO; the old Paolo Faggion helps the 2 musicians until they will find a drummer who is twenty-years-old (more or less), and this moment is finally arrived, as far as I know; actually, a young drummer and a young keyboard player are making rehearsals with Lorenzo Gioelli and Marco Baldi. The band DJANGO with the musicians Gioelli – Baldi – Faggion published on December 2014 a demo-CD entitled “Django 3”, in which it was included the new version of INTER NOS’ song Miraggio; then, for DJANGO band it will start a new period, without Paolo Faggion.
Promotion: as usual, we sent email and letters (but less than the previous years) asking for concerts. Poor results. Economic crisis, no interest in bands who play their own music, no people to the shows… the same story, every year.
We are not able to make project; every rehearsal is a conquest, every concert becomes an important and a rare event for us. As we often say, we are only making noise, we are losing time and money in music: in the “real life” there are more important things to do. So, about our future musical career, who knows?
Good end of year 2014, and happy 2015.
(News included on December 30th, 2014)



Very few things to say, in this first update of the year.
On March 30th, 2014 we played with 2 prog bands, IL FAUNO DI MARMO and GARDEN WALL. A decent performance for Inter Nos band, very good for the other 2 bands. Only 30 persons were at the show: a shame.
Recently I sent emails of introduction of INTER NOS band to African radios, we wait for answers.
(News included on April 13th, 2014)



This is the last update in the year 2013. As it happened one year ago, it’s time to write a short report of our activities.
We made 5 concerts during this year, in the whole Inter Nos’ career we played live 114 times. About our CD “Produzione propria”, there are 259 copies all around the world (if we didn’t forget any).
We sent a lot of letters to pubs, etc., in order to play live: very poor results, as usual.
We made swaps of CDs with penpals-musicians.
Reviews: one, concerning the work “Deforme” (2002), into the Italian fanzine “Nesssuno Schema” published this year (issue # 10, June 2013).
A radio from Morocco asked us for our songs: we sent to the penpal (in France) the whole production of the band in CDR format.
During the year 2014 the activity of Inter Nos band will go on slowly, I guess; the most important person is Andrea, who is Paolo’s little son. The pop-cover band in which I played since december 2012 made split up during the spring 2013. My brother helps 2 teenagers in the DJANGO project, they play “prog rock” and “rock” covers.
It seems that Italian postal rates will increase a lot between now and 2016; if it will happen, we will also increase the cost of our CDs, if someone would buy our works by snail-mail.
Good end of year 2013, and happy 2014 to you all.
(News included on December 31st, 2013)



In the year 2013 we made 2 concerts, both in the village of San Michele al Tagliamento, province of Venice, north east Italy.
We obtained a good review into the italian fanzine “Nessuno schema”, issue # 10, June 2013, concerning the old work “Deforme” published in the year 2002.

This is the last update in the year 2012. It’s time to write a short report of our activities.
We made 7 concerts during this year, in the whole Inter Nos’ career we played live 109 times. About our CD “Produzione propria”, there are 217 copies all around the world (if we didn’t forget any).
We sent a lot of letters to pubs, etc., in order to play live: very poor results.
We made swaps of CDs with penpals-musicians.
I don’t remember if we obtained reviews of our works, during this year: probably there weren’t any.
A radio from Bangladesh asked us for our songs in MP3 format: we sent the songs by email, I hope that the DJs broadcasted them.
During Christmas time I received messages from other musicians: some of them go on with the activity, other ones stopped the activity for several reasons, and they wait for “better times”.
During the year 2013 the activity of Inter Nos band, too, will be almost stopped, till May or June; in the meantime, I will play the bass in a pop-rock cover band; maybe I'll get some money to pay bills, buy food, and perhaps to shop for musical instruments. With the activity of the band Inter Nos certainly will not earn money.
Good end of year 2012, which soon will go with no regrets (at least for me), and happy 2013 to you all.
(News included on December 31st, 2012)



After the last update (May 30th, 2012) we made 3 concerts. We made swaps with some bands. One radio from Bangladesh asked us for our songs, we sent them to that radio by email. Maybe there will be another concert before the end of 2012. Probably the activity of the band will be stopped on 2013 for six months, we’ll see…
(News included on October 26th, 2012)



On May we made two concerts, 45 minutes each. At the moment, there aren't other concerts planned. We sent letters to pubs, asking for concerts in Autumn. Very few promotional activities, to be honest: foreign radios were contacted by snail mail letter or by email, and the expedition of stuff to fanzines finished years ago. Actually we make only exchanges with bands or distros.
(News included on May 30th, 2012)



On April 14th, 2012 we made the first concert of the year; we played 12 songs, faster than the CD-version. That night played another band with us, THE REBUS, very good prog-rock in a ‘70s way.
We’ll make another concert on May 29th, 2012.
We made some swaps of CDs with pen-pals from Asia.
We sent emails to radio stations all over the world, without great results.
There aren’t important projects, at the moment.
(News included on April 18th, 2012)



A short report of our activity in the year 2011.
We made 7 concerts (total concerts in our career: 102). At this website, http://www.youtube.com/user/stetrak1967, you can watch to our concert (almost all) made on July 9th, 2011, at Serio Rock Festival, Italy. Look in the website for the link.
We have not composed new song. We'll work on the old songs, in order to improve them.
Promotion on web: the official website remains www.internosrock.it; we opened a page on website ReverbNation. The page on Myspace is abandoned.
Other promotion: we made some swaps with bands and distributions in Italy and outside. Postal rates are very expensive: to send a CD outside Europe it costs 7 Euros. We obtained some reviews in fanzines.
That’s all. Happy new year.
(News included on December 29th, 2011)



On October 15th, 2011, we'll do the concert number 100. We'll play in Pordenone (North East Italy) at "Deposito Giordani", Via Prasecco 15; that evening will play 5 bands: INTER NOS, THE BRUSARJA (Hardcore, lyrics in the dialect of Venice), SIDUS TENEBRARUM (Black Metal; ten years of activity), CHRONIC HATE (Brutal Death Metal; ten years of activity), ARMED CONFLICT (Thrash; the last concert, unfortunately).
About concerts, recently I sent more than 100 letters in order to obtain gigs in the year 2012, but I'm not optimist about a good result; the most curious thing will be... how many letters will come back to me?!
(News included on September 11th, 2011)



Good performance at SERIO ROCK FESTIVAL; you can watch to the video, scroll this page and you'll find the link in VIDEOS section; very hard sonorities! People was satisfied, I guess. We made a swap with TITOR band; we knew a lot of people, and we made project for future performances in North Italy.
At the moment, no concerts are planned. We wait for possible proposals in autumn. However, this one is a good year about Inter Nos' concerts, till now.
We obtained a good review into Abysmal Sculptures fanzine from Singapore: read it in this page, at REVIEWS section. The paper was published in 2009, I obtained a copy only one month ago.

Some concerts will arrive, for Inter Nos band. The most important one will be at SERIO ROCK FESTIVAL, in the village of Cologno al Serio, province of Bergamo, north Italy, 50 km east far from Milan. The concert will be saturday 09 July 2011, start at 8 P.M., in the fields between Cologno al Serio and Morengo. If you will be in Italy that day, don't forget it!
We obtained a good review of our work "Produzione Propria" by the fanzine Abysmal Sculptures from Singapore. You can read the review in this page.

We will start to play alive again! On February 26th, 2011, 10 P.M. at ON THE ROAD PUB, in Fossalta di Portogruaro (VE), Italy, with Chronic Hate (brutal death metal) and The Brusarja (hardcore).
Postage from Italy to foreign countries is pratically doubled; during 2010 the stamps for a packet with one CD from Italy to U.S.A. costed Euro 4,20; now it costs Euro 7,00. A robbery! We must increase our prices too; postage goes from 2 Euro to 5 Euro (each CD). Sorry.

The Band INTER NOS stars to work again. We made a rehearsal on January 4th, 2011, the first one after the Paolo's operation of July 17th, 2010. Maybe there will be a concert at the end of February 2011, with other 2 bands. We'll play 30 minutes of music.
We made some exchanges of CDs recently, and we hope to do other trades in future.
(News included on January 16th, 2011)

The band named INTER NOS was born on summer 1996 in Pordenone, a town of north-east Italy (100 Km far from Venice).

The members of the band are Claudio Faggion (electric bass/voice) and the brother Paolo Faggion (electronic percussions/voice).
The kind of music played by the band is hard to describe: someone defined it "experimental progressive rock". Songs are played mainly with bass guitar and electronic percussions; there are some very short overdubs of guitar and keyboards. Lyrics are written in Italian, except for "Lamp" which is written in Friulano: this is a local language spoken in Friuli, the Italian Region in which Pordenone is.

These are the productions of the band:
a) on summer 1996, song "Lamp" (sung in friulano);
b) on 1997, demo tape "TRANSIZIONE" with the songs "Non può andare meglio", "Sapevi", "Viaggiatore", "Differenti Percorsi", "Transizione". Total time: 25 minutes.

SONGS NOT INCLUDED INTO THE OFFICIAL WORKS OF THE BAND

In the summer of 1996, the song "Lamp" (sung in the Friulian language) was sent to Radio Onde Furlane (Udine, Italy) to participate in the Premi Friûl 1996 music contest; it was the first song recorded by INTER NOS band; line-up with Paolo Faggion on rhythm and lead guitar in the first part, Claudio Faggion on bass in the whole song, besides at rhythm guitar in the second part, and, as a guest, our cousin Stefano Tracanelli (author of the lyrics) on vocals and flute.
- Lamp, "Premi Friûl 1996" version.

The song "Transizione", in a slightly different version from the one included in the demo tape TRANSIZIONE, was included in RIFF RAFF COMPILATION (tape & CD compilation published by the fanzine RIFF RAFF - Marsala, Trapani, Italy); we don't remember the year of publication, but it was 1999 at the latest.
- Transizione, version included into RIFF RAFF COMPILATION.

In the year 2000, the song "Occhi e voci" (live version) was included in GIUBIROCK 2000 (CD compilation); the final concert of the GIUBIROCK 2000 festival, from which the song is taken, took place in the courtyard of the Aristide Gabelli school (Viale Trieste n. 16, Pordenone, Italy) on June 17th,2000.
- Occhi e voci, versione included into the CD Compilation GIUBIROCK 2000.

In the year 2002, the song "Attraverso valli e monti" was included in PROVE TECNICAL DI RESISTENZA CD compilation; the song was performed live at the musical event 'Prove Tecniche di Resistenza', Area Festintenda, Mortegliano (UD), Italy, on April 25th, 2001.
- Attraverso valli e monti, version included into the CD Compilation PROVE TECNICHE DI RESISTENZA.

In the year 2002, the songs "Loco", "Attraverso valli e monti" (studio version) and "Lamp" (1996 version) were included in IL GENERALE WESTMORELAND (CD compilation).
The song "Loco" is an instrumental semi-improvisation, played over musical basis; the name of the song takes inspiration from a place that no longer exists, the El Loco Brewery, in Orcenico Inferiore di Zoppola (PN), Italy, where, if we are not mistaken, in one of the two concerts we made there in the year 2000 we presented this song as an experiment, which we never repeated in the future performances.
- Loco.
The song "Attraverso valli e monti", studio version, dates back to the spring of 2001, and it was sent to the organizers of the PROVE TECNICHE DI RESISTENZA music festival (see above).
- Attraverso valli e monti, studio version.
The song "Lamp", 1996 version, was the first one composed by INTER NOS band (see above).
- Lamp, version "Premi Friûl 1996".

In the year 2014, the Italian prog band DJANGO included, in its demoCD "Django 3", a version of our song "Miraggio" played by Marco Baldi (electric guitar, vocals), Lorenzo Gioelli (keyboards, violin), Paolo Faggion who was at the time a member of that band (electronic percussion, choirs), Claudio Faggion (electric bass, vocals).
- Miraggio, version recorded by DJANGO Italian prog band.

There are undoubtedly further recordings, but we can't find them... and perhaps it's a good thing.

R E V I E W S

First of all you are impressed by the "serious" sleeve and then, while you're putting the tape in the proper place to squeeze a sound from it, your eyes linger through the lyrics... well, these can be poems read in the darkness of a stage, in a monologue key, indeed! The lyrics are the part I like most (especially "Viaggiatore" and "Differenti Percorsi") in the whole Inter Nos project. The sound is not exactly my mind, it's a sort of progressive industrial with 80's new wave's disfunctions here and there, gloomy but not desperate... well, I'm not too much involved but rarely I've seen such a variety of sounds distinguishing one song to the other; usually this genre is so repetitive! Write to...
[SCREAMING SHEEP 'zine, n. 10 - Italy]

Inter Nos can't be really described. Inter Nos are coming from Pordenone, a small city in Italy... it's about 100 Kilometers from Venice. They are a duo and brothers! Claudio plays the electric bass and sings, while Paolo plays electronic drums and sing in a few short parts... "It's not really easy over here in Italy", says Claudio "if it comes to succes over here you have to play pop as Eros Ramazzotti or easy rock just as Litfiba. When a band plays a particular kind of music, it's easy to criticize but it's very hard to understand the musician's efforts. And if you don't play commercial music, it's very hard to do some gigs as well. But what we really want is to keep on playing, it doesn't interest us to become real professional musicians". A very well known story. Struggle to be heard, but one day their chance will come... I'm sure of that.
[THE ORIGINAL SIN 'zine, n. 8 (december 1997) - Belgium]

An unquestionable fact is that Italian scene has to present enormous steps of progress the last one or two years and as a result new and very promising bands appear continuesly. The genres that have been more benefit from this situation are those of Epic Metal, of Progressive Metal, but also of art rock. From this last field comes INTER NOS band, who consist a very distinguished group, who tries to bring a new direction in music and their own personal aesthetic. The brothers Claudio and Paolo Faggion present their first demo entitled "Transizione", which consists from 5 tracks that I would say belong in the wider area of rock with many samplers, original, but at the same time, peculiar ideas and of course a result that escapes from the already given and the same old things and opens new doors of expression in Art Rock music. This work is one of those that you can not make a sure conclusion with the first time you hear it, but it wants many and careful listenings in order to understand it completely. Even though I have to admit that my hearings include harder musical directions and more close to pure Heavy Metal, nevertheless I have to say that INTER NOS have some moments that play really very interesting and mature music. The only disadvantages I detected are that I would prefer more use of "natural instruments" and not so many samplers, and also the fact that the vocals are on Italic and as a result this deprives the band from, in my opinion, a wider recognition from a bigger audience outside their country. But for the fans of experimental and technical Rock that don't afraid to "taste" new things, INTER NOS are a very good choice. The demo comes with a professional artwork and costs 5 $.
[TEMPLE OF ETERNITY 'zine, autumn 1997 - Greece]

Original and personal: this is the demo of this band coming from Pordenone, constituted by two elements, two brothers (who played on Poliphonix band) who set out on a musical journey out of fashion. The style of the band is hardly definable: it is based on two principal instruments - electric bass, sometimes with a lot of effects, and electronic percussions - and a few parts of guitar and keyboard, with a "clean" singing in Italian. The strange things are the voluntary false notes on the sung parts: this element makes the music of Inter Nos particular. This isn't a demo easily assimilable; on the contrary, you must listen a lot of time the songs included on "Transizione", to appreciate the style of the band. Significant things: the lyric of Sapevi - dedicated to a girl - and the voice on the song Differenti Percorsi, effected with a ping-pong delay. Black and white lay-out with informations, lyrics and band's photo; impeccable recording. Now, it depends on you: if you look for something strange and difficult to understand, you must have this demo; if you don't look for it, avoid this demo because you will be disappointed.
[translated from AMSHADA 'zine, n. 4 - Italy]

INTER NOS, maybe because Claudio and Paolo Faggion make all themselves... and they succeed in their efforts. Claudio (bass and voice) and Paolo (chorus and percussions) talk, in the demo "Transizione", about emotions and feelings (insecurity, lonelisess), destiny, time which passes quickly. Lyrics are not much sung, almost spoken, on an excellent musical base which could live without lyrics, as a good energetic Rock. The main track is Transizione, but I would point at Differenti Percorsi; you, after the first listening, remember the music of this song better than the rest... and the first listening doesn't deceive.
[translated from A.K.O.M. 'zine (Cinzia Donati), n. 10 - Italy]

The lyrics are in Italian, so I'm not entirely sure what they're singing about, but the melodies and arrangement of this are excellent. It's twisty-turn prog-rocky stuff with lots of original ideas, great stuff.
[AQUAMARINE 'zine, n. 15 (autumn 1998) - England]

Tras la separacion este pasado verano de los hard proggers Poliphonix (con tres demos officiales), los hermanos Claudio y Paolo Faggion - bajo e bateria respectivamente -, vuelven con una nueva demo y projecto: Inter Nos. Musica muy alejada del estilo que caracterizo' en su anterior andadura, y mas involucrada en situaciones avant-garde. Concebita para voz, bajo y bateria!! Con leves rasgos de guitarra y teclados a cargo de Paolo. El duo italiano crea dibujos surrealistas, de expresion cercana a veces a gente como Neu o Cluster, e incluso la actual industrial music, que yo llamaria en este caso "musica mecanica" y no solo per por la portada: ambientes aridos, intencionadamente (lo que le da un notable merito) fria, petra, marmorea... "Transizione" contiene cinco temas de clara inspiracion investigadora, rondando los 5-6 minutos de duracion. Siendo "Differenti Percorsi" y el tema titulo (o sea, la segunda cara), mis predilectos. Kraut rock, Avant Garde y cierto toque industrial en una extrana mezcla. Recuerdo que senti algo similar a esto como primera impresion en cierta ocasion que trabajo' en una enorme fabrica de aluminios...quiza' sea este su proposito!!
[ATROPOS 'zine, n. 4 (marzo 1997) - Spain]

CD/MC "Futuro Calpestato"

The brothers Claudio and Paolo Faggion reappear with this work that, even if it keeps the original musical ideas of experimental prog rock, sounds harder and "adulter" than the first demo Transizione. Almost all the work is very exciting, as the song "LAMP" and expecially the magic-futuristic one "1999,5" in which - in addiction to the interesting lyrics - you can appreciate the great Paolo's familiarity with the keyboards.
[PSYCHE OUT 'zine, Spring 1999 - Italy]

INTER NOS band comes from Pordenone, and it put to a severe test my ability of "fault-finder" with this tape entitled Futuro Calpestato; the music proposed by the band takes a very hypnotic progressive-metal as a starting point, and then gives free creative outburst with musics and lyrics absolutely out of the ordinary. Long oneiric rides which rise from the everyday's spectres... the "stories" of I.N. seem to be blades of fused steel which fit themselves into a solid wall of cement. The peculiarity is in the singing, almost recited, which remembers the MASSIMO VOLUME's production and which is, according to me, the real pleasant characteristic of I.N. band.
[RADIOSOTTOSOPRA 'zine, January/February/March 1999 - Italy]

A pleasant return, on Darkness Attack's pages, for INTER NOS band, which was interviewed in the first number of our 'zine after the publication of the demo "Transizione"; now they return with this new work which is very interesting. I admit that "Transizione" was harsh, both for experiments and for the strange kind of music, but "Futuro calpestato" sounds like (a bit) easily understood; music is very experimental and, every now and then, psycheledic ("Lamp" is a good example... the lyrics of this song is written in broad Friulano, the language of Friuli... I can't make head or tail of it!); the lyrics, in Italian, are very poetical and almost philosophical, simple at the first impact, but they have great meanings. The best tracks are "Lamp", "Una vecchia chitarra" (a dream in acid; the original lyrics were written in the language of Croatia), "Voglia di pensare", heavier than the other songs... but, really, the other songs are good too: "Abbandono" with its icy atmosphere, "Frasi" (a real trip, with its peculiar sung parts), "1999,5" (very progressive and "spatial"), and the first song "Tra noi", short songs that seems like an intro. Surely this isn't music for all people, but it will give unexpected emotions to the few listeners which will dare to approach it.
[DARKNESS ATTACK 'zine n. 3, summer 1999 - Italy]

INTER NOS are a duo from north-east Italy consisting of two brothers...they describe their music as experimental progressive rock. I would expand on their description and say it is bass-laden, buzzsawdriven, progressive grindcore. Inter Nos' music has more emphasis on harmony rather than straigh-forward riffs. The vocals are all in Italian and are delivered in a most emphatic spoken word manner. If you want a reference point for their music, this is slightly more difficult. Try a progressive grindcore version of Zerobranco! If you like your music slightly outwith the norm, then try Inter Nos. I enjoy their music and look forward to hearing more from them.
[HIDDINKULTURZ 'zine n. 3, summer 1999 - Scotland]

Claudio from Inter Nos thought it'd be a problem for me to appreciate their new demotape as it has a much harder sound (in my letter I told him I wasn't that keen on thrash or death metal). At contrary, Claudio! But... don't think now they are a metal band, they are making experimental progressive rock (their words, so I'm nothing anything up!). The more brutal sound gives this tape an energetic blast that were needed on their other releases (not that they were bad, but they sounded a bit too lame) ... so this is certainly the best thing I heard from our Italian friends. Do I recommend this? Difficult to say as I'm convinced that some of you will hate this type of music, but if you're in prog rock then I'd say you would be a fool if you miss this (ESPECIALLY this release). Oh, and if you're in for a try, the band is always in to do a sort of swop...
[THE ORIGINAL SIN 'zine, n. 26 (january 2000) - Belgium]

Desde Italia recibimos el material de este duo de "Experimental progressive rock", y ya que lo son, puesto que solo utilizan bajo y percusion pero suenan como una banda. Se asemejan al industrial, pero sin teclados, el bajo es distorsionado y con full efectos, las letras son en Italiano. Inter Nos son de Pordenone, un pueblo al nor-este de Italia. Se formo' en el 1996 y lo conforman los hermanos Faggion, Claudio (bajo/voces) y Paolo (percusion electronica y voces). En el 1997 sacan el demo "Transizione" con 5 temas. Ahora en el 1999 lanzan el MC/CD "Futuro Calpestato" con 7 temas. Recomendado para gente que quiera experimentar con nueva musica.
[SUBTERRANEA 'zine, dic. 1999 - Ecuador]

Italian duo consisting of brothers Claudio and Paolo Faggion who've had previous experience in prog and hard rock bands. You've got pounding drums and metallic riffs overlaid with melodic vocals. We're not talking death metal, more akin to progressive rock, closer to bands that were around in the early 70's. The music is always adjusting as it goes along which gives an almost jazz feel.
[BIZARRE 'zine, june 2000 - England]

On most of the tracks here, there's a heavier sound than their previous tape, but this isn't metal - it still fits into the "experimental prog rock" description used of their earlier material. I've not heard anything else that sounds like this band - although they're proggy ther's a strong experimental element to the sound, making them sound pretty unique. They aren't the kind of band who compromise melodies just to be experimental though. I can recommend this tape- although Inter Nos are mainly known about by metallers, this music is far more original than the majority of metal and I reckon it could be appreciated by people who don't generally like metal. Like I said before, this stuff is mostly quite heavy but I'd be lying if I said it was metal.
[AQUAMARINE 'zine, july 2000 - England]

CD "Deforme"

I like this Italian band very much, in spite of the fact that they don't play any kind of the music I usually listens to. In fact the music they experimenting with can't be easily labelled, since these two guys approach it from a really individual direction. With the help of electric instruments (only a bass and a percussion) they try to formulate their own views on making songs, which I think they managed to accomplish quite well. Even the sound of Inter Nos is unique, though it is a hard task when it comes to the limitation of the instruments they use. There will be ones who are against this sound from the very moment they hear it, still the contrary is what happened to me and probably to some more people. Their song structures aren't ordinary; for this material I think they developed it to a more complex form than it was in their previous stuff. The Italian texts sung by the immature or probably even false, clean male voice just increase that peculiarity, and this is also that might shrink people back from these 6 songs, but I have to say if Claudio were growling as hell, Inter Nos would lose something which is absolutely as well as inalienably their own feature. Honestly saying, I can recommend this 23-minutes-long, futuristic disc to anyone who usually hates thinking blinkered and can enjoy stuffs that aren't really Metal.
[SHRUNKEN & MUMMIFIED 'zine, issue # 4, Summer 2002 - Hungary]

God this is some strange stuff! Post-modern Prog-Metal/Hard Rock from 2 Italian brothers who love to experiment with eclectic sounds abd more than unorthodox ideas to their music. The vocals are not in English, so that made things a bit difficult but musically, not that bad despite this isn't my fortay with all the abstract stuff. Imagine Voi Vod and Skyklad in a boxing match with Men At Work, Rammstein and Dead can Dance. I give it originality: that's for sure since no one else is playing this that I know of on a grand scale. If you want to go out on a limb and experience six of the most bizarre songs with "unexpected" ideas, look no further than these guys.
[QUINTESSENCE webzine, September 2002 - U.S.A.]

From the moment you declare to be open to all Rock and Metal's possible subcategories, you must accept certain genres, even when they surprise and destabilize you. In this case, I already had a close encounter with Inter Nos' previous demo (two years ago) and since I digested it rather well, I shouldn't have been surprised... and yet! The Faggion brothers make things so weird that one cannot stay indifferent to their experiments! One of them is on the bass, the other on electronic percussion and both sing. Okay, the singing is more chanted than sung and it is still in Italian (topped with a scrumptious northern accent), but it's quite easy to listen to actually. Anyway, I find the new compositions much more catchy than the ones on "Futuro Calpestato". Personally, I find "Immagini vuote" and "Miraggio" the most successful of the lot. You'll tell me about it: if you aren't against experimental rock, don't hesitate to take a listen to this new demo. The others have been warned. Hey, in any case it won't harm you to listen to something a little different from your usual djoomdjoom. A different do...

Well, Inter Nos were far too original from what you have listened to in this beautiful world. I never expect to receive such experimental music from these u/g scene. As their vocalist said to me, Inter Nos maybe (are) in the same circle of progressive rock/metal band, but their style are too strange to be called as progressive things in the same time. It's totally experiment! Maybe they sang in Italian makes me feel eve more original and weird coming from my audio (the same case of Brujeria! Heh!). Let me tell you the story of Inter Nos' come out of Italy, with their previous works "Transizione" MCD (1997), "Futuro Calpestato" CD (1999) and "Deforme" (2002). In the same environment with other Italian progressive bands like Barrock, Blind Mirror, Iconoclast and Garden Wall. Inter Nos consists with only Claudio Faggion (voice and electric bass) and the brother Paolo Faggion (voice, electronic percussions). The bass was heavily distorted, so does with the voices. Some nice percussion strokes, and samples/effects all around: it's 6 songs of dark ambient/rock is what on my stereo now. They even gave me the translations of their lyrics in English and Radiohead is what come across in my mind, for example; if you want to check them, send out a Cd-r to: Inter Nos c/o F.lli Faggion, Via Colvera 2, 33170 Pordenone, Italy.

I really like the music on this. Some nice changes lots of odd time signatures but they flow into each other really smoothly. Singing in Italian really throws me but the more I listen to this I am getting used to it. The sound is one complaint because some songs are clear and others are muddy. But, after all it is about music right? Parts remind me of King Crimson which is cool. It's technical without being over the average listeners head, and that is hard to do even not being over some musicians heads is hard to do too. I would be interested in hearing some other things from them.
[ROCKBOTTOM webzine, April 2004 - U.S.A.]

I don' t know... just none metal sound but very supportive band. Here is bring to you experimental progressive rock with voice, electric bass and electronic percussions. They put musical and originality above all. True musician, honestly but in an Italian lyric. But the CD (not CD-r) come with lyric translation in English. Definitely I'm so impressed with the message indeed.
[METAL WARPAGE 'zine, issue # 2, Summer 2004 - Malaysia]


Inter Nos was born in 1996, after some demos and this CD was released in 2002, contents 6 songs in 23 minutes and the music was experimental progressive rock with voice, electric bass and electronic percussions (as the band defined their music) with only 2 musicians, Claudio Faggion (electric bass, voice) and the brother Paolo Faggion (voice, electronic percussions); before this I never heard anything like this and I can say that their music is quite unique and I like the no. 2 track, and the lyrics are mostly in Italian, there's a translation included. Talked about life, rights etc. So for those who are interested, you can contact Inter Nos c/o F.lli Faggion, Via Colvera 2, 33170 Pordenone - Italy; for more info about this band: http://web.tiscali.it/inv/internos.

(...) Here you can find a very interesting piece of music: as far as I know, this is a two piece. The music is very progressive in a direction which most of the bands are afraid to go in. Here & there you can find a folkish piece, like in Falkenbach!! Further on it's mostly clean voice, sung in Italian, but luckily for me, I got the English translation! The cover of the CD is not very outstanding, but fit some of the multi edged of the music perfectly. You can describe this as bass/keyboard driven music with clean vocals, a lot of experimental dimentions & effects. Not really any type of music but somehow I like it & I'll definitely listen to more of their tunes. Get this from me or the band. [I DON'T GIVE A FUCK 'zine, issue V, Summer 2006 - South Africa]



CD "Produzione Propria"

Claudio Faggion (voice, bass, music, lyrics) and Paolo Faggion (electronic percussions, microsynth, music, lyrics), selecting unusual subjects for their manifestoes, want to inform you of various significant matters through the agency of Progressive Rock experiments with curt shouts, superfluously torn rhythms and other vanguard artistical over-indulgences. The chosen method of mental transmission commonly rejects a considerable amount of the outmoded harmonists, although the fanatic destroyers of competent compositions hold that the songs of Inter Nos are too melodious. How can we expound our diverse ideas amidst incomprehension and indifferent social environment? Every artist, having a patent way of doing something, paints an unique self-portrait against the background of the cosmic void . . . from 1987 to 1996, Claudio and Paolo intermingled Hard Prog colours and sounds in poliphonix. During the summer-tide od 1996, these brothers decided to create Inter Nos. Besides that, Claudio flapped a Rock band which was named Little Wings. "Produzione Propria" is available for ten euro. Send your kind regards and offers of cultural co-operation to: Claudio and Paolo Faggion, Via Colvera 2, 33170 Pordenone, Italy.

8 songs lasted for 25 mins, to my surprise, these guys had improve a lot thru’ experiments from materials after another. It’s kind of technical electro industrial/rock/death metal that I can describe out of you, it’s unusual stuff just like Glaukom Synod but with vocals & using real guitard & bass yet it’s stoll not close. If only they can sing out with more vocal lines though in their native language, believe it should still be better as their vocals are clean. I think this is the Faggion brothers best product to date since I new ‘em during my demo days! 4 ½/5.
[ABYSMAL SCULPTURES ‘zine, n. 7, August 2009 – Singapore]



I own the only copy of this album on cassette. 30 years from now, I’ll be able sell this for millions providing me sluts and food in my old age. So why am I reviewing this cassette when it is available on CD only? I want you to bug Claudio to make you a personalized cassette version too. Under no circumstance should you settle for the CD version. Inter Nos is a 2-man band that employs progressive drum beats, synthesized distorted bass tones, sky jiked keyboard overtones, and spoken Italian vocalization. This is the sound of a kitchen in an Italian disco pizzeria on Planet Epsilon. The brothers Faggion should be rankes as one of the best drum/bass combos. Their chemistry is unflawed with masterful thematically precision. Purveyors of good Underground music must own this album. Note their new contact address.
