From 1999 to 2006 Sparkle in Grey was a solo project of Matteo Uggeri/Hue (aka Der Einzige, Normality/Edge) which mixed electronic rhythms and melodies with field recordings.
In 2006 Hue was joined by poli-instrumentalist Cristiano Lupo (member of Norm), Alberto Carozzi (former member of Yakudoshi) – guitar and bass - and violin player Franz Krostopovic (of Pulp-ito).
Their music sounds like a mixture of electronic, post-rock and light experimentalism.
In reviews, their records have been compared to Piano Magic, Tuxedomoon, Rachel's, King Crimson and even Current 93.
They collaborated with several artists such as MB, OvO, Micecars, Kiddycar, Harshcore, Giuseppe Ielasi, Francesco Giannico and many others.
