PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY
Italian multiinstrumentist DANIELE LIVERANI has carved his reputation not just as a solo artist but as member of the bands EMPTY TREMOR, KHYMERA,TWINSPIRITS, COSMICS, PRIME SUSPECT and mentor behind the GENIUS ROCK OPERA concept album.
His first product would be a 1988 cassette 'Me And Me Too'. A veritable barrage of tapes followed numbering 1989's 'The Last Gift Of My Teens', 1990's 'Holding The Sun Of My Life', 1991's 'The Wheel Of Emotions', 1992's'Loving The Human Race' and 'As A Rule' with the prog band EXARULE.
Yet another cassette was then issued in 1994 entitled 'Nearly Gold Emotions'. The following year Liverani attended the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, where he recorded his fist instrumental album VIEWPOINT to be released later after some years.
The album, recorded at 56 Studios in Santa Monica, saw the talents of ARMORED SAINT,FATES WARNING man JOEY VERA and RICKY WOLKING utilised on bass, and JULIO MATHIS II on drums.
The guitarist, albeit as a keyboard player, discovered and united in 1995 with young promising band EMPTY TREMOR, writing, producing and performing Keys on their 'Apocolokyntosys' and 'Eros And Thanatos' outing.
Finally his first solor record 'VIEWPOINT' is released in 1999.
Liverani's next move would be the monumentous trilogy releases GENIUS TRILOGY endeavour released in 3 chapters in 2002, 2004 and 2007.
A massive wealth of global Rock talent was on hand to perform the parts of individual characters to tell the tale of the 'Genius' character's journey.
Participating would be RING OF FIRE and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN man MARK BOALS cast as 'Genius', LANA LANE as the 'Doorkeeper', PAIN OF SALVATION's DANIEL GILDENLOW portraying "TwinSpirit n. 32", GRAVE DIGGER frontman CHRIS BOLTENDAHL as the 'Stationmaster', JOE VANA of MECCA as "King McChaos Consultant", STEVE WALSH of KANSAS fame as "Wild Tribe King", the veteran JOHN WETTON as "McChaos King", OLIVER HARTMANN from German Metal band AT VANCE as "Wild Tribe Consultant" and ex-CRIMSON GLORY vocalist MIDNIGHT as "Maindream".
Other inclusions in the second and third episodes saw PHILIP BYNOE of the STEVE VAI band and RING OF FIRE playing "The Storyteller", and DREAMTIDE's OLAF SENKBEIL, RUSSEL ALLEN of SYMPHONY X, EDU FALASCHI of ANGRA, JEFF MARTIN of RACER X, ROBERTO TIRANTI of LABYRINTH, JOHNNY GIOELI of HARDLINE/ and AXEL RUDI PELL, LIV KRISTINE ex THEATRE OF TRAGEDY, JORN LANDE of MILLENNIUM/ARK/MASTERPLAN, ANDREA DATWYLER of LUNATICA, TOBY HITCHCOCK of PRIDE OF LIONS, DC COOPER of ROYAL HUNT, SILENT FORCE.
Drums would be in the capable hands of DARIO CICCIONI.
Liverani's composition 'Meteor' was included on the JASON BECKER tribute 'Warmth In The Wilderness Volume II' released in late 2002 by LION MUSIC.
Another album with his band EMPTY TREMOR is released:THE ALIEN INSIDE features the new singer OLIVER HARTMANN.
The album is released by Frontiers records worldwide and leads the band to the great experience sharing stage as opening band for the “Train of toughts” italian summer tour of DREAM THEATER in 2004.
Embroiled in yet another ambitious venture the Italian struck up a partnership with STEVE WALSH of KANSAS repute, combining efforts to forge KHYMERA.
KHYMERA is an AOR pot pourri project. The debut album would score heavily on the points scale for having lead vocals sessioned by STEVE WALSH of KANSAS and STREETS fame.
The songs collected for the 2003 debut album would prove of great curiosity value including two tracks previously recorded by MR. BIG for the 'Navy Seals' soundtrack, the Giorgio Moroder penned 'Strike Like Lightning' and 'Shadows' alongside no less than four tunes penned by SURVIVOR guitarist JIM PETERIK with 'Living With A Memory', 'Say It With Love', 'Tears On The Page' and 'Aftertouch'.
Also featured were two WINGER compositions 'Without Warning' and 'Written In The Wind' and a HARDLINE track 'Love Leads The Way', originally included as a Japanese bonus cut for the 'Double Eclipse' album. The MECCA duo of Joe Vana & Thom Griffin would supply backing session vocals.
That same year a second solo album 'Daily Trauma' saw issue. Liverani handled all instrumentation excepting drums, delegated to Dario Ciccioni.
KHYMERA releases another album and gathered a full band lineup with Dennis Ward of PINK CREAM 69 on vocals, drummer DARIO CICCIONI and new guitar sensation TOMMY ERMOLLI.
Ward makes his absolute debut as lead singer with this album showcasing an incredible voice that will make one wonder how come this guy never take the mike in hand before playing bass!
The songs are again gathered from some of the most outstanding writers in the melodic rock and AOR scene featuring the likes of Robin and Judithe Randall (If You Dare To Dream), Jeff Scott Soto (You Can't Take Me), Don Barnes (Looking For You and After The Way), but the bulk of the album showcases the shining songwriting of brothers Tom and James Martin (ex SUGARTOWN), who penned songs for such artists as DO (Angel By My Side) and RONAN KEATING among others.
Just like the first record was the very best melodic rock could offer, the new one showcases a rich and diverse songwriting along with great musicianship.
After 3 quality albums, Daniele has recently left his historical band EMPTY TREMOR band officially, to concentrate in some new musical adventures he's working on.
Infact, In 2007 his new line up TWINSPIRITS is ready to release the first album. This project comes with the purpose of creating the ideal prog rock band that he always dreamed of. He gathered throughout years the suitable elements that could fit his designs. Dario Ciccioni on drums, guitar prodigy Tommy Ermolli, bass talent Alberto Rigoni and the raw voice power singer Søren Adamsen from Denmark. The first album is called “The Music That Will Heal The World” and has been released by Lion Music on june 15th 2007 with worldwide distribution. The band is already working on the second album... KHYMERA 3rd release has been completed, with the same line up as the second one and will be released on february 22/2008 by Frontiers.
During 2007, Daniele has composed and recorded a new challenging instrumental record under the moniker of COSMICS titled THE COSMIC YEAR. The lineup for this new adventure features VIRGIL DONATI(Planet X) on drums, RUFUS PHILPOT(Planet X) on bass, TOMMY ERMOLLI(Khymera/Twinspirits) on Guitars and himself on the keyboards. The release of this new record has been done on March 2008 for Lion Music Finalnd.
In 2009 Twinspirits changes his singer and welcomes in the line up Goran Nystrom from sweden, shortly after this change, a new album is released by Lion Music titled, "The Forbidden City".
In 2010 Daniele leaves Khymera project and forms "PRIME SUSPECT" new aor project feat. Dario Ciccioni, Tommy Ermolli, Mauro Catellani and Olaf Senkbeil (Dreamtide) releasing selftitled debout album for Frontiers records.
In early 2011 the third album of Twinspirits titled "Legacy" is released, containing the 30 min suite "The Endless Sleep", one of the major creative efforts of his career...
Daniele gets back full time to guitar after 2011 latest release of Twinspirits, and a the instrumental prog metal guitar album "Eleven Mysteries" come to light in summer 2012, released by Lion Music.
The line up includes new talented musicians he discovered lately, Paco Barilla' on drums, Tony Dickinson on bass and Marco Zago on Keyboards.
He has just released a new guitar album in January 2014 by SG Records entitled FANTASIA and he is writing on a new multi episode Rock Opera tha will be titled Even & Odd, that will keep him busy for the years to come for a new musical journey that will feature many great singers around the world, so...stay tuned! Work in progress!

Daniele Liverani Lyrics

we'll protect the human dreams using all of our forces!
Dreams are a way for them to be free
a chance to meet their own desires
places where happiness can be real
our aim has always been clear!
Their dreams will be
(Mr Niko) Their dreams will be
(Mr Niko & European Senators choir) Alive and safe!
(Mr Niko) Yeah! They will!
(Mr Niko) Dreams allow them to explore the meaning of their inner world
that's what they all really need to take a look inside their souls!
That's why humans should never be allowed to interact with dreams
they would lose part of their being
our aim has always been clear!
Their dreams will be
(Mr Niko & European Senators choir) Alive and safe!
(Mr Niko) Their dreams will be
(Mr Niko & European Senators choir) Alive and safe!
(Mr Niko) Sure! They will!
(Mr Niko & European Senators choir) Yeah!
Their dreams will be alive and safe!
(Mr Niko) Someone's taken a risk to compromise dreams
but I'm sure! My dear sirs

The power of our fantasies will shine in their minds! Trust me!
They will have a real chance to fly

(Storyteller) Genius' dream was coming to an end, and a train slowly approaching towards him was the proof of that feeling. It was full of twinspirits. All the twinspirits looked sad because they were going back to the place of their creation to be terminated at the end of the dreams they had been conducting. They knew their end was near. Twinspirit 32 stared at Genius, but his smile was shaded by a veil of sorrow. It was clear to both that they were going to part forever. The train stopped and the two joined the row of twinspirits who were at the start of their last voyage.Twinspirit 32 had to find a plan to get the prince back to his Kingdom as soon as possible.
The lyrics to Daniele Liverani's song "Alive and Safe" speak to the importance of protecting human dreams and the inner worlds they allow us to explore. Mr. Niko and the European Senators choir stress the need to keep dreams safe from any harm or interference, as dreams give individuals the chance to fulfill their desires and find true happiness. They argue that humans should never interact with dreams, as it could lead to losing a part of their being. The goal is to ensure that dreams are always alive and safe, providing individuals with the opportunity to soar and explore their inner selves.
The lyrics suggest that there has been a risk to compromise dreams, but through the power of fantasies, they will continue to shine in the minds of individuals. The ultimate aim is to protect dreams so that they will always be alive and safe. The Storyteller adds to this narrative by describing the end of a dream where twinspirits board a train back to the place of their creation to be terminated. Twinspirit 32 and Genius understand that they will soon part forever and they must find a plan to get the prince back to his Kingdom as soon as possible.
Overall, the song conveys a message of protecting individual dreams and inner selves, highlighting the importance of allowing individuals to explore their deepest desires freely.

Here you can find lyrics for tracks 1 - 6 and 8.
I managed to find lyrics for tracks 9,10,11:
Copying the important parts here:
Back To Life Again:
[Senator Jeramus] ''Pain became my new identity,
faith became my only source of peace,
blame became the flaming sword that hit us deep
inside, so deep inside.
Fight for everything that' s in your dreams,
fight to be the same you' ve always been.
everything seems to expect your return!
Look in my eyes and smile with me
IT' s time for you to begin
a new age of brilliant dreams and fantasies
I' m so glad that you' re back to life again!''
Dream In Liberty:
[Senator Jeramus] ''Dear Twinspirits
I have good news coming from the Kingdom' s Jail
I' m sure that you' ll be happy to hear what I' m going to say
the European prince has been saved in time!
He will not be destroyed!
Soon he will go back to his dad!
[Apikor] The human that had entered our world has been sent here by
his twinspirit
with a copy of his memories
demonstrating the King' s innocence
soon Mc Chaos King will be unjailed
he will be coming back
soon he will have his reign back!
Oh! Yeah!
I thought the human could have learned how to come back
here once awaken
now I' m sure he won' t be remember 'cause his twinspirit has
been terminated!
The European land is safe again!
We' re no longer exposed to risk!
[Senator Jeramus] 'Cause everything' s going to be solved!
[Apikor] The pride of our land will go on!
[Senator Jeramus] We' re all happy to work for a
[BOTH] A place to dream in liberty!
Yeah! Our kingdom will remain!
A place to dream in liberty!
No we don' t have to be afraid!
Our King is back! Our King is back!
Freedom of dreaming will always win!
We will work for a place to dream in liberty!''
The Final Surprise:
'' [Main Choir] Going back to reality!
Genius is going back to reality!
Oh yeah! IT' s time for you
for going back to reality!
[Genius] I' ve arrived at the end of this crazy journey
I will leave forever this place!
I wish I had enough time to say goodbye to my guide
to thank him for so much I' ve learned!
[Twinspirit 32] Here I am!
[Genius] Oh my God, it' s you!
[Twinspirit 32] I' m proud you did it!
[Genius] I thought you were dead!
[Twinspirit 32] I couldn' t die without saying goodbye to you my dear friend!
[Genius] Oh! My body is fading!
I' m slowly disappearing!
I' m understanding that... (he is going back to reality)
[Both] I' m losing you!
[Genius] Goodbye!
[Twinspirit 32] Goodbye! Here' s your dream!
Do you know what this means?
[Both] This means I will always remember you!''
Neither Genius, nor Twinspirit 32 tell anyone about how to enter the Dreamworld as long as they lived. Genius could remember all the details, yet told noone about it.
Twinspirit remained in the parellel universe where he copied his existence.
