    Entrée

This piece originates with the idea of a dark passage in a trip where the unknow lies beyond every corner. Basically Life.
The bass grove and chord  change were the foundations.
The last touches were the percussions and the vocal lament. My favourite track!
    Fabbrica d'Oriente

It started with the mbira and a bass groove. I then messed around with the Pungi (indian instrument) Giulio came with the idea of  a middle break and we created what we called the "lunch" break. The idea struck us like the repetitive movements one would find in a factory. (the title means Oriental Factory)
Then I started messing around with vocals and we decided to replace the bass guitar by bass voice. As the idea developed so did the experimentation vocal and instrumental


    La Battaglia

The battle... The starting point of this piece was an idea that Giulio had recorded previously. Adding the different instruments took it to another  place. The Mbirra and Ocarina played a role in the feel of the song. In the recording studio we made it shorter... a pitty!
    Sortie

The final destination of the trip. It is the party! Here the bass and chord changes created the platform for the different melodies. Note the battle between the Pungi and the Violin.
