Sparkle in Grey began its musical activity as a solo electronic music project in 1999.
Since 2005 it has developed to a 4-member band devoted to a sort of electronic and eclectic post-rock.

The world eclectic is related to the fact that they like to change from one genre to another, often collaborating with artists of various kinds.The core of the band has remained the same since 2006, with Matteo Uggeri (aka Hue, Der Einzige) on laptop, rhythms, trumpet and field recordings; poli-instrumentalist Cristiano Lupo (member of Norm, on drums, guitar, bass and glockenspiel); Alberto Carozzi (former member of Yakudoshi, guitar and bass); violin and piano player Franz Krostopovic (of Pulp-ito).
Many other musicians have collaborated with them, including the Italian maestro of industrial music Maurzio Bianchi/MB or - for instance and on the opposite ends - Simone Riva (ex-drummer of Italian pop singer Alex Baroni, who has recently passed away).

They have also remixed tracks of, or had tracks remixed by experimental artists such as OvO, Nicola Ratti and Telepherique, or by pop blockbusters such as Kiddycar and Micecars.

Their latest album, "A Quiet Place", released in 2008 with the small cult label Disasters by Choice (Melodium, Rothko, Populous/Echoes of the Whales, Comaneci, Racoon) was recorded and mixed by Giuseppe Ielasi, who also mixed "México", recorded by former Disciplinatha singer, Cristiano Santini.

Another EP called "Whale Heart" is ready, and it's done in collaboration with Andrea Ferraris (Ur, Deep End, Luminance ratio, Meerkat, Airchamber 3...).

In their album reviews they've been compared to a long and strange list of various musicians, including Sol Invictus, Rachel's, Björk, Piano Magic, Autechre, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Epic 45, King Crimson, Durutti Column, Massive Attack, Neu!, Pan American/Labradford, Tuxedomoon and even Pink Floyd (?)...

Despite the fact that they dress like tramps, one of their songs was unexpectedly chosen as soundtrack to an ad for Alviero Martini (www.alvieromartini.it).
