INTERMUNDIA, out now via XXIM Records/Sony Music.
It tells of eight places of silence and introspection where the veil between this world and the other is thin.
My eight places of refuge where I see beyond things the spirit that shapes them.
I wanted this album to be filled with the sense of wonder and ecstasy we feel at the beauty around us: beauty is a “thing”, it is material, but we see the ideal that has been embodied within and taken physical form.
We are physical forms of an ideal, we are embodied with a spirit and therefore it is essential to rediscover and take care of our spiritual nature which is our most precious part.
ANIMA I is inspired by the Church of S. Michele Arcangelo in Cerreto di Montegiorgio, a place of poignant essentiality where the frescoed ceiling collapsed as if to open a passage to the beyond.
Anima in ancient Greek represents the primordial breath that ignites life in us. For me, it is an auspicious song before a journey of transformation searching for the essential.
BET HA CHAIM inspired by the ancient Jewish cemetery of Pesaro, it means House of Life, precisely to underline that our most precious, lasting and intimate nature is the spiritual one. We are embodied with a spirit.
RESPIRO 1 means “breath” and it has always been a natural synonym of life, an absolute symbol of existence. It is a simple and pure melody, a calm stream, almost a pause along the way.
VALADIER inspired by the homonymous temple in Genga, it is a place of pilgrimage where many seek silence, introspection and spiritual growth.
It is the place where I go to practise seeing what is real but invisible.
