Биография

Shiva Bakta is Lidio Chericoni, a musician from La Spezia transplanted to Bologna. In 2009 he published the Shiva Bakta Homerec Album, an unofficial release collecting 13 makeshift-recorded demos dating between 2008 and 2009. In 2010 he moved to Milan, where the ten songs that give shape to "Third", his first official album, came into being. Third was recorded at Elio e le Storie Tese’s Hukapan Studios, and was released on March 19, 2014. He has also written music for various short films and for the feature film La terra dei motori by Pierluigi De Donno (2017, Sonne film, Doruntina), and has worked on an instrumental electronic project of psychedelic lullabies (the Try to Stay Awake #1 EP). Between 2017 and 2020 he worked in complete solitude on his second album, "Save Me", a single track lasting 40 minutes and 21 seconds, travelling between psychedelia, electronics, and ‘70s progressive music, all filtered with a 2020s state of mind. Anticipated by the single I See You, Shiva Bakta’s new album "6/4 of Love" is released on April 6, 2022 on Noja Recordings.
