VIRTUAL TIME's Picture is a 5-record project consisting of four studio albums and a live collection. 
 
From The Roots To A Folded Sky is a diverse first chapter showcasing an intriguing mix of Folk and Classic Rock ballads along with some unexpected elements. The band engaged in meticulous sound research, with mixing overseen by three different professionals. The album is enhanced by the contributions of visual artists: the cover art features a stunning pic by Norwegian photographer Emily Hamn, while each track has inspired a unique illustration by the talented young artist Silvia Reginato, available for viewing on Virtual Time's YouTube channel. The title track encapsulates the band’s mission—transforming their unreleased early tracks into fresh arrangements and sounds, much like origami art transforms simple sheets of paper into intricate shapes.
 
Animal Regression, the second chapter, offers a comprehensive 360° exploration of Rock music, examining its diverse facets and subtleties. It blends Classic Rock and Hard Rock influences with Alternative Rock and Funk elements, all enriched by drum patterns that nod to Hip-hop's contemporary style. Virtual Time brings together Led Zeppelin's essence with hints of Arctic Monkeys, creating an ambitious and dynamic fusion!
 
/ a · gò · gi · ca / ~ the impulse that gives rise to musical rhythm as a deeply personal virtue. It cannot be reduced to a mere framework, allowing for a focus on the individual interpretative talent of the performer, as well as the exploration of challenges related to the interpretation and execution of a musical piece.
The third chapter of Virtual Time’s 2019 pentalogy is based on this concept. A sound revolution emerges through the use of synthesizers, distorted guitars, and rapid riffs. The daily spectrum of both positive and negative sensations experienced by each of us becomes the centerpiece of the lyrics and atmospheres. The listener engages with the album on a personal level, finding solace in these human emotions, and subjectively interpreting them. Musically, the compositions of A·gò·gi·ca break away from traditional song structures, guiding us into a realm of sound that is liberated from conventions and labels. Instead of adhering to strict rules, the music embraces spontaneity and a stream of consciousness.
 
The fourth chapter, called The Circle, features six unreleased tracks and two acoustic versions from their debut album Long Distance. To symbolically conclude this journey, the band revisited their roots, when Saturday afternoons were reserved for composing music after a week spent at school. The overall mood is carefree and playful, featuring simple and easily usable compositions without the need for superb productions. The title track showcases the band's Rock essence, softened by acoustic guitars, a beautiful vocal line, tasteful arrangements, and harmonization. They added two outsider tracks: the Latin "Black Sun" and the Irish-inspired "Hades". The rewarding aspect of this extensive project was the chance to explore diverse musical cultures from around the globe.
 
The final chapter features a compilation of Virtual Time's best live performances. The band had to navigate the challenging health issues of their guitarist Luca, who has been bravely battling a bone marrow infection for three years. Despite needing a wheelchair, the band continued to perform live, and this album stands as a testament to their resilience. Their technical skills and unity on stage create a powerful synergy.
