Louis Siciliano L.A. INTERSTELLAR RIDE Release date: September 24, 2026 Label: MUMEx Records

Some records are born from an idea. Others are born from a void.
L.A. Interstellar Ride started as a hunger I’ve carried for years, a signal that kept coming back, all the way from the era when the electric guitar wasn’t just an instrument, but a promise. Not of perfection, but of infinity.
In late 1980s Los Angeles, guitar was an expanding language. The G.I.T. (Guitar Institute of Technology) felt like a temple, and the whole city seemed wired to that same voltage: creative risk, obsessive practice, and the belief that sound could be pushed far beyond what anyone thought possible. Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Richie Kotzen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Allan Holdsworth and, as the catalyst that detonated a generation, Eddie Van Halen. They were electric heroes and sound scientists, players who didn’t just “shred,” they redefined the instrument’s physics and vocabulary. The guitar became a spacecraft, built to break atmosphere.
I was a teenager then, watching all of it from across the ocean, absorbing that energy like a radio picking up a distant frequency. And I had the privilege, maybe the destiny, to study electric guitar with Roberto Petrella.
Roberto was not from this world. He was an outlier in the best sense: years ahead, with a rare ability to fuse pure technique and pure vision. He was using sweep picking and skip picking at a time when many players hadn’t even heard the terms. But what made him extraordinary wasn’t speed or vocabulary, it was the way he taught you to think the guitar. To feel it as a living organism. To understand that “mechanics” only matter if they serve imagination. He was a pioneer of modern teaching, someone who connected contemporary electric guitar to a wider, evolving language. Roberto was, and still is, a beacon. If you met him, you know it was never just about learning licks. It was about developing a dynamic, innovative way of seeing the instrument itself.
That’s where L.A. Interstellar Ride comes from: from that school, from that fire. Not as nostalgia, but as a return trip to the vertigo of the extreme. This is not an attempt to imitate an era or cosplay a sound. It’s an act of gratitude.
If the album has a mission, it’s simple: to evoke the spirit that made those years so explosive, the urge to dare, to explore, to burn for an idea. I still believe the guitar can take us beyond our limits. It can reveal worlds. It can speak a universal language that cuts across style, culture, and time.
Over the years I’ve moved through many musical lives: film music, jazz, symphonic writing, electronic music, and what Italian critic Renzo Cresti frames as Musica Presente, music that belongs to the living now, not the museum. I’ve played guitar, bass, synthesizers, winds, and instruments from Indian, Chinese, and Persian traditions. I’ve conducted orchestras, produced dozens of artists internationally, and built records from the ground up, from first sketch to final master.
Along that path, I created MUMEx, the Music Multiverse Explorer, a system where the physics of sound meets emotion, space, and consciousness. For me, music is living geometry: a breath that holds matter and spirit in the same vibration. L.A. Interstellar Ride is where that approach meets the electric guitar again, head on, unapologetically.
This record is for anyone who still believes in vertigo. For anyone who wants to feel lifted off the ground, suspended for a moment, carried by tone, harmony, and velocity into something bigger than the room they’re standing in.
It’s also dedicated to a simple, stubborn dream: a more evolved civilization, a world built on peace, art, and real freedom. And, in the most personal way, it’s a journey back to the joy I felt as a kid, when a single note was enough to launch me into the night sky, imagining the moon and the stars.

Louis Siciliano – L.A. Interstellar Ride
In uscita il 24 Settembre 2026

Note di copertina.

Ci sono dischi che nascono da un’idea.
Altri nascono da una mancanza.
L.A. Interstellar Ride nasce da una fame antica, da un richiamo che arriva da lontano, da un’epoca in cui la chitarra elettrica non era soltanto un oggetto, ma una promessa di infinito.

Alla fine degli anni ’80, a Los Angeles, la chitarra era un linguaggio in espansione.
Il G.I.T. – Guitar Institute of Technology era un tempio.
Lì si respirava un’aria di follia creativa, un coraggio che oggi sembra quasi inimmaginabile.
C’erano Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Ritchie Kotzen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Allan Holdsworth, e, come detonatore di tutto, Eddie Van Halen.
Erano eroi elettrici. Scienziati del suono.
Guitar heros che sfidavano la fisica e le convenzioni per trasformare la chitarra in un’astronave sonora.

Io, in quegli anni, ero un adolescente.
E avevo la fortuna, il destino forse, di studiare chitarra elettrica con Roberto Petrella.
Roberto non era di questo mondo.
Era un vero alieno: anni luce avanti, capace di fondere tecnica e visione come nessun altro.
Usava lo sweep picking e lo skip picking quando molti non sapevano nemmeno cosa fossero in quel periodo.
Ma soprattutto, insegnava a pensare la chitarra, a sentirla come un organismo vivo.
Era un pioniere della didattica moderna, uno di quelli che hanno legato la chitarra elettrica contemporanea a un linguaggio più ampio, totale, evolutivo.
Roberto è stato e continua a essere, un faro.
Chi lo ha incontrato sa che non si trattava solo di imparare a suonare: si trattava di imparare a sviluppare una visione della chitarra totalmente dinamica e innovativa.

Dai ricordi di quella scuola, da quel fuoco, nasce L.A. INTERSTELLAR RIDE.
Non come nostalgia, ma come viaggio di ritorno verso la meraviglia vertiginosa dell’estremo.
Non è imitazione di un certo sound ma un atto di gratitudine.

Questo album non vuole assolutamente rifare il verso a un’epoca:
mi piacerebbe dí evocarne lo spirito, la voglia di osare, di esplorare, di bruciare per un’idea.
Perché credo che la chitarra sia ancora uno strumento capace di condurre l’uomo oltre i suoi limiti, di rivelare mondi, di parlare un linguaggio universale.

Negli anni ho attraversato molte esperienze: film-music, jazz, sinfonica, elettronica, Musica Presente citando Renzo Cresti e sperimentazione pura.
Ho suonato chitarra, basso, sintetizzatori, strumenti a fiato, strumenti indiani, cinesi e persiani, ho diretto orchestre, prodotto decine di artisti in tutto il mondo.
E durante questo cammino ho creato MUMEx – Music Multiverse Explorer, un sistema che fonde la fisica del suono con l’emozione, lo spazio e la coscienza.
Perché la musica, per me, è una geometria viva, un respiro che unisce materia e spirito.

L.A. Interstellar Ride è questo:
un disco per chi crede ancora nella vertigine.
Per chi vuole sentirsi trasportato, staccato da terra, sospeso.
È dedicato a chi sogna una civiltà più evoluta, un mondo di pace, arte e libertà reale.
È un viaggio verso la gioia, la stessa gioia che provavo da ragazzo quando una nota, una sola nota, bastava a farmi viaggiare e a fantasticare sulla luna e le stelle.
