"I think you can understand what I feel when I play or listen to music... I think you know that sensation... The soul starts dancing, softly. You close your eyes to relish deeply that marvellous sensation, a calm bliss, the chaos of the world you have inside becomes harmony. Your body seems to burn but you don't feel pain. And all at once, the dance becomes more and more animated and violent... a strong emotion makes you believe that your soul is going to pierce the breast and join the Sensation and the Music outside. But in no time everything is vanished, impassive and calm...only a veil on your body..." Some years ago, on 20th december 1985, the Earth gave birth to Mirko Iapicca in a village called Torre del Greco (NA). This child grew and became a boy in Torre Annunziata (NA),where he discovered his passion and his talent for writing and music as the most high expressions of HIS art and himself. Thanks to particular sensibility and determination, he tried successfully to express his deep being, emotions and feelings, creating and playing his own melodies with his guitar "Berkana". This name refers to the Celtic rune that simbolyzes fertility, growth,new birth and beginning, and in a short time,for this meanings, Mirko decided to call himself Berkana, as a good auspice for his art and his strong ambitions. Then, he became a member of his current band "Kief"(indie), as guitar player and lyrics writer with Gianfranco Pellegrino (Polvere). Their music and songs give life to opposite sensations at the same time, keeping something hide and mysterious. For the eastern philosophy,the word "kief" means the true and absolute happiness,and Berkana thinks it is the veil that remains on your body after having perceived the deep and beautiful sensation the music can make you feel. Kief is the impassive tranquillity after the caothic harmony and the painless fire of your soul. These concepts permit to relate the word "berkana" to the word "kief",'cause the first can simbolyze the means (fertility) to reach the aim (kief,or absolute well-being, happiness, bliss). In 2007, Mirko gives birth to his solo-project: he experiments new sounds mixing noises from the daily life and manipulated voices. Berkana's purpose,infact, is to make his music communicate without lyrics, let her speak and tell what the feelings of the author are, and express them perfectly. The name of the first Ep, "Moksha",takes inspiration from the hindu philosophy,and it represents the last aim of existence, the realization of each one,but also the transcendent, the salvation,the reliefs from the ties and from the reincarnation cycles. It can mean also a direct experience of the union between the human being and the infinity. The concept of "Moksha" with the ones of "kief" and "berkana" reflect and underline the main aspects on which the art and, consequently, the existence of Berkana is based. "...you softly reopen your eyes as if you were afraid that the sensation could fall down and you see it, it's on your hands, on your body, on your curtains, in your room, 'cause Music is Art and Art is in everything; you only have to be able to listen to Her voice, and if you know how to do it, She will reveal the secret that someone heard in the past, and that sleeps inside us today...the secret to be eternal" Berkana - Plain Clothes (B&B Project) Berkana - Wild Strawberries |

Visione |
|
|
Volti di ceramica e alloro.
Pareti umide e silenziose.
Stanze buie, lampade,
luce soffusa, silenzio.
Bruciano le tende e i sogni;
La notte mantiene la calma
e il tempo è muto.

Notti di panama
Pensieri lungo le dita
Scrivo sulla tua anima
L'inchiostro: la mia vita.

Sensazioni (silence is sexy) |
|

Senta signore: sono le sette!
Il sordo serpente sentirà la sveglia.
Sopra i sogni strillano;
Sono solo sensazioni.
Sempre e solo:
"Silenzio!"

Cenere, fango e polvere sul mento
