This week on Prog-Watch my esteemed guest is Daniele Giovannoni, drummer, keyboardist, and main musical composer of the band Karmamoi! Daniele and I chat about the history of the band and their new concept album The Day Is Done. And of course I play plenty of great Karmamoi music along the way!

Daniele Giovannoni was born in Rome on August 20, 1966. After obtaining a Scientific high school degree he decided to approach the drums and began studying privately. Later, he enrolled in the Faculty of Drums at the Universita’ della Musica in Rome where he received his diploma, after studying with some of the best Italian professionals at the time. Following graduation he continued his studies and delved into musical harmony and piano. In 2008 Daniele formed Karmamoi to give life to his musical ideas and utilize his talents for drums, piano, composition and music production.
