DOM's new album "4 guys, 4 days, 8 songs" (2019)

DOM comes back in 2019 announcing a brand new astonishing pop-rcok album, a magical alchemy of rock/pop and an original acoustic approach full of emotion. 8 songs recorded during 4 days by 4 friends. All of this topped with a subtle female touch on backing vocals.

​

Insane (2011)

Following his first acclaimed EP, Poisoned (released end of 2007), DOM came with his debut album - an amazing English pop-rock production that highlights DOM's maturity and once again shows the talent of this Swiss singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

​

Flirting more with rock attitude than pop, this debut album successfully mixes ethereal and dissonant guitars, intimate and powerful vocals, and catchy melodies and choruses: DOM's universe reveals itself song after song as an exciting moving picture, welcoming, disturbing and complex... a "sweet and sour" experience.

​

DOM co-wrote some of his songs for these two albums with American and Canadian songwriters met through his virtual songwriters' network as well as with his swiss stage-friends.

​

DOM delivers "slice of life" stories with just the right amount of cynicism. He catches us with crafted arrangements in the vein of the greats such as Jeff Buckley, the Foo Fighters, or even The Police.

Production

Following his 2009 graduation from the Complete Vocal Institute (Copenhagen, DK and Utrecht, NL), DOM chose to work with George Marino from Sterling Sound in New York (Jeff Buckley, AC/DC, Guns & Roses, Aerosmith) and Christophe Duc of Kerozen Prod in Geneva to craft a compact and powerful sound for his album "Insane".

For his brand new opus "4 guys, 4 days, 8 songs", he looked for talented artists such as Nicolas Merle for mixing these acoustic songs and the magical David Hadzis for mastering. A jewel in a velvet case.

​

Musical Background

DOM has played and performed more than 30 years, with repertoire ranging from classical piano to rock and film music. He was introduced to singing and playing piano by his great aunt Germaine Del Signore (singing instructor to Maria Callas). His great uncle Gino Del Signore was an opera singer (Carmen, La Tosca, La Traviata, Tristan & Iseult, ...). DOM has been songwriter for many artists and bands, including One For The Road, Ray Driscoll, Madras Express, Psitacism, Irish rose, Faber and United Fruit Company.

 

Drawing inspiration from his diverse background, DOM delivers music with a wide range of emotions. From intimacy to spontaneous and visceral reactions, his songs are touched with irony and presented from his unique perspective.
