Dilatazione was born in Italy in 1999 from a trio of instrumental cinephile  rockers. In 2002 their third demo, <em>Fotogrammi</em>, received enthusiastic  reviews from Italian newspapers, and fanzines like Blow up, Rockit, Sodapop, and  Movimenta. In 2003 a second guitarist joined the group, collaborating in the  composition of new songs and fleshing out their melodically complex  sound.

The band have played hundreds of concerts across Italy, developing  a formidable live reputation and integrating their performances with video. Over  the last two years, Dilatazione have also played at national and international  festivals like Sete Sois Sete Luas, No Silenz Fest, Cinema Blast, and Rockcalvi.

Dilatazione’s new album <em>Too Emotional For Maths</em>, released in  collaboration with Italian label Slowmotionpenguino, was recorded and mixed in  October 2005 at Alpha Dept Studio in Bologna by Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan  Bator/Faust) and Francesco Donadello (Giardini di Miro). Dilatazione’s Alessio  Gioffredi is now also the new drummer of Ulan Bator.
