I mean, I bought Band Of Gypsys from Jimi Hendrix when it came out, you know what I mean? I had that and they were stars, they were rock stars.
“I would go out and buy their current record. Teenage Aldo Nova discovered guitar players like Hendrix, Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. And the analog studio basically is all old gear, all old analog stuff, old analog console, my old Memorymoog.” So over the years it’s evolved, but this is what I call my analog studio. So I was able to have a company actually build me a real studio that was isolated, with brick walls and sound booths and everything. There was nothing in the basement but a couple of posts and some plywood. So when I looked at the house for the first time, it was completely bare. I was looking for a house that had enough size in the basement and that had nothing in it. I bought the house because it was secluded, but that wasn’t the main reason. “It’s 2700 square feet in Montreal,” he tells me over Zoom from his impressive studio. But unlike most prospective house-buyers, he was on the search for something specifically tailor-made for making music.
Track listing for THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EDDIE GAGE:ġ0.Aldo Nova bought his home, not far from Montreal back in the early 90s.

The recording includes a 40-piece orchestra, a full gospel choir, Lee Levin on drums and mastering from the legendary Bob Ludwig. Throughout the work, ALDO distills his often-unbelievable musical journey into the allegory of the rock opera, which he wrote, produced, arranged, engineered, and mixed entirely. The musical journey of THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EDDIE GAGE began in 2008, when ALDO started to assemble what would become 25 songs (which ALDO will eventually release). Drugs, alcohol, and excess plunge him into despair until he realizes redemption on his own terms. Stophalis, and tempted by a succubus Rati Ayida. THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EDDIE GAGE rock opera tells the story of Eddie Gage, a prodigious ingénue who breaks into the music industry only to be preyed upon by a nefarious suit Andy Christos, manipulated by a corporate overlord M.F. He then literally ‘Burns Like the Sun’ when he performs this song as his last song in his concert.” ‘Burn Like the Sun’ describes Eddie's long journey.”Įlaborates ALDO: “In the second verse he says, ‘Life, is given to you, with each step that you take there's a chance you could win or lose, and love, yeah love's been untrue, almost took the last beat of my heart but then there was you.’ When he says ‘you,’ he could be talking about a woman, or in his case, it has a more spiritual meaning since in the previous song, ‘Say a Little Prayer,’ he rediscovers his faith which gives him the strength to go on. In the opera, ‘Burn Like the Sun’ is the last song that Eddie sings and it sums up his life perfectly with everything coming full circle because it was the only song he had ever written that wasn't owned by any publishing company or record company, so it's fitting that the beginning becomes the same song that makes him reborn. Of “Burn Like The Sun,” ALDO, who’s spent more than four decades in music with dozens of classic songs and hundreds of shows, says: “The song describes Eddie’s life's ups and downs and rebirth.
