Description
A new single for a story of over 7 minutes. A wonderful and evocative journey, with constant mood swings, as the singer-songwriter himself, Davide Moscato aka Mesmerizing, has got us used to.
After 3 active albums in English and a single in Italian two years ago, he returns with this new work which will be released only in vinyl format and will not be available through digital stores, except on Bandcamp, Rockit, and on Youtube when it will be released. a video clip.
This choice by its author is probably to give greater prominence to the piece, which was written and produced only for real listeners, only for those who still have the pleasure of listening to music through physical media, for those who still love letting themselves go through the notes, and get emotional from start to finish of the song.
The song sees the presence of two illustrious names, Andrea Amati who worked for Sony and Warner Music, writing successful singles for established songwriters, and collaborated in drafting the text.
After participating in the 2020 album, Martin Grice of Delirium returns to sax and flute.
The text was inspired by the book Black Elk Speaks, the story of an old Sioux sorcerer about the most tragic period in the history of his people, but also about everything we lose along the path of our existence, whether it is something insignificant or of the most important thing of all.
Musically it is a very particular Progressive Rock, continuously changing, in the musical tempo and in the bpm, made up of simple and compound tempos.
A piece to be discovered little by little entitled Soundscape, which means sound landscape, that is, in the words of whoever coined this term, the composer Raymond M. Schafer, it is "any field of acoustic study, a radio program or an environment ”.
On side B, we find the piece entitled UVB - 76 4625 KHZ, a very particular piece, only musical, full of strange effects and with an Aphex Twin-style atmosphere, and played exclusively by its author with the Korg Volka Modular synthesizer.
The title, and the central part of the piece, refer to a mysterious Soviet radio which has existed since the days of the cold war, but which, apart from sporadic occasions, has never transmitted anything except short and monotonous buzzes repeated 25 times a minute.
These sporadic occasions have been inserted into the piece.
Soundscape was recorded between Pocket Studio with Fabio Vaccaro and Andrea Amati, and Big Tree Studio in Brescia.
Side B was recorded in its author's home studio and mixed and mastered at the BigMic Studio in Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN).
