L’album

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

The album

IF BEETHOVEN WAS A PUNK is the title of the new WakeUpCall’s album!

The app

”If Beethoven was an app” is a mix of rock and classic music, graphic novel and cultural deepening. In order to gather all these elements, we decided to develop an interactive app which involves the users in first person.

A dynamic experience through which is possible reading the comic, listening to the music, and knowing some couriosities about the protagonists of the story.

The comic

Everything started from music, around which it rotates the story of Alex, of his grandmother Muse and that of all the singular characters we can meet in the tale.

Each of us can reflect himself inside the dreams of a young boy, who would like to become a musician but is about to lose hope…

Alex is the main character of this story – he’s not crazy as the Pink of “The Wall” neither he suffers as the “Tommy” sung by The Who. But in his own way, Alex is an anti-hero as they were. Alex is less painful, but more resigned. He’s a symbol of his musical generation – he isn’t able to make something of himself. He’s talented but doesn’t want to become a “social network” personality. His grandma – a funny old lady, that was a groupie in the ‘60s – wants to help him. At the beginning she drags him to a boring classical musical, but then they’ll share an unforgettable night, that Alex won’t forget for the rest of his life. Among his grandma’s friends there are Ludwig van Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Haydn, Händel, Chopin, Debussy, Čajkovskij, Vivaldi, Wagner, Vivaldi, Bizet, Rossini and Dvořák. This happy group is used to meet every evening to revel and play. They’ll teach Alex that in order to become famous he needs craziness and perseverance. And when you’re ready to risk, you can win any talent show…
