The TFK project is routed in emotions and events dating back to many years ago. In the late 1990s our formation had just been changed and we were getting through a period difficult to interpreter: the outcomes of the 1996 album “Distances” were really disappointing and Andrea Costanza, who had been Court’s backbone and core creative soul up to then, left the band leaving a vacancy hard to be filled in again. So Andrea Balliano “Boll” was recruited as rhythmic guitarist, he has always been a friend of ours and we were thus able to promote “Distances”” live also thanks to George Merk as lead guitarist. We could eventually feature the future of a new studio recording album . Pieces like: Limbo, Wet of Sky,Walking and Talking and Do you think we have time? (first version of Sun Beyond Time), which would then be included in “Frost of Watermelon, bore to light in that period and were the result of a joint creation between Balliano and Nodari.
In spring 1999 Marco Strobel joined the group, he had always been a close friend and worked as sound technician but he has always been an excellent guitarist and an inexhaustible creative and compositive soul. At first the partnership aimed at reaching short-term goals mainly focused on the recording of the new album. Marco should have worked as sound technician during the recording sessions but not only did he contribute technically, he also got deeply involved in the arrangements and composition of further new material: the new Court lined up a 6-peopled ensemble whose three guitars had a massive impact from the very beginning and distinguished the band’s live shows in those years. Also the dawn of the songs Men I Met, Synaptic Ghost, My World, When I Lose and Past Days by Nodari, Strobel,Balliano and Bonacina, belonging to “Frost of Watermelon”, broke in the early months of 2000 .
