Stefania Pedretti aka Signorina Alos (OVO)

Has anyone seen her solo performance?

She's playing here tonight and i'll probably go and see her.
It's a free show

I know OVO and they are generally (but not always) cool. How come she is playing a solo gig?

She has a solo project (alos , you should get the pun ;) ).

I Another world exists beyond ours, a world hidden inside every mirror. A mirror image of ours, in which the people carry marks of permanent memories that shape (also us) the characters and lives of everyone.
Signorina ?Alos is one of this world, she carries on her face the scars of the injuries to the spirit of Stefania Pedretti. That is who ?Alos is: the alter-ego of Stefania, her mirror image. In the performance, bound by the topic of stealing private moments and making them public, Signorina ?Alos presents herself (to our eyes) as a lonely unlucky woman, a romantic and a dreamer, intent on preparing just one candlelight dinner. While preparing dinner, ?Alos
plays, using the unmistakeable voice of Stefania, her personal guitar style and the splendid bases created expressly for for her by such artists as Mae Starr, DJ Tonnerre and Christian Rainer. It is all with suprises, moments of profound sweetness, tenderness, sadness and irony. All five senses are involved in this performance: sight obviously, but also taste and smell (the dinner), hearing (the music) and touch (Signorina ?Alos concludes the performance by inviting a man from the audience, after having found him "handsome and well-groomed", to share dinner with her.

We (Stadtwerkstatt Linz, a location in Upper-Austria) are organazing the Eclectic Tech Carneval which is taking place this week and she's playing in the course of the festivus.

She is very attractive too!

haha
not the best image of her.

The show was great.
She was cooking during her performance and had her knive micd with a contact microphone. That sounded really cool and it tasted good.
It didn't matter that she fucked up one song because her guitar was detuned, still a really great gig

She's really nice too, i talked to her for a while. Today she's coming to our office for a coffee and a little chat.

Ah ah, she's short, though. ;)
Did he "play" her hair with a violin bow?

No, it wasn't OVO, it was a Stefania Pedretti solo performance.

Yesss, sorry, I meant "did she play her own hair with a violin bow?"..:o

No she didn't.
She forgot to bring her violin and the bow.
haha

But she played her body with the contact mic.

She just came in, great.

gotta go now

Tell her "ciao stefania fate un mega tour ovo-bachi da pietra-ronin-allun-?alos" !

i told her.
What did it mean?

She smiled and said ok.

ha ha! You just asked her to make a big tour with a bunch of bands she and the other guy in ovo are involved with. I wish that would happen for real!

haha
that would be great.
anyway

She's really nice and all but she puts way too much sugar in her coffee.
Now you know - Celebrities Uncesored

here's a little live vid I shot of "bachi da pietra", sort of "primitively bluesy" band with amazing lyrics (in italian).
