Draft:Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice

Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice is a collective of Italian artists who create musical projects that combine different fields of interest and themes, often scientific, philosophical, or social.

Their experimental musical projects, which combine rock, pop, and electronic music, draw inspiration from various sources, such as science fiction, literature, art, and cinema.

The collective was founded by Andrea Pizzo, a software engineer who is the group lead vocalist and music composer, and Raffaella Turbino, the group songwriter and painter. The other members are Riccardo Morello, a singer and composer, and Roberto Tiranti, a singer, musician, and musical producer. Maria Elena Pizzo is the group consultant. These artists often cooperate with other artists and friends.

The project began in 2019 when Andrea Pizzo and Raffaella Turbino started to write songs, later incorporated into a concept album inspired by science, technology, and space exploration, Potatoes on Mars. The album, released in 2022, features 11 tracks, each with a different musical style, from rock to pop to electronic.

The group is currently working on their second album, Transhumanity, dedicated to the ever-evolving relationship between humans and technology, paying homage to some visionary inventors whose creations have shaped our world.

Released on EP with "The Boys of Silicon Valley", the track "Ada" is a tribute to Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer. "Bombshell" is dedicated to Hedy Lamarr, a famous inventor and actress, and "The Machine" explores the complex relationship between humans and artificial intelligence and robotics.

The songs, broadcast on various radios, received positive reviews.

The group also uses social media and YouTube to interact with music lovers and share their creative process.
