The Vegetable Man Project is a paranoiac/surrealist project started in 2002 by two musicians, Dario Antonetti and Max Dolcini.At that same time the record label Oggetti Volanti Non Identificati was set up to produce, support and promote the project. The Vegetable Man Project wants to be a homage to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd’s founder, and to his music, but it especially wants to be a homage to Vegetable Man, a song written by Barrett shortly before his departure from the band in 1968. The song was never officially published and it’s sadly and ironically autobiographical.
"I’ve been looking all over the place for a place for me, but it ain’t anywhere, it just ain’t anywhere…"
Vegetable Man, with a clear awareness of the own disarming incapacity to adapt oneself to the world, is in reality the proud and desperate scream of the solitary searcher lost in the sidereal spaces which divide people.
The project is an attempt to put different musical realities and space-temporal worlds, very often isolated among themselves, in touch with each other, and the project is spasmodically looking for the experimentation and the creativity which characterized the artistic activity of Syd Barrett.
