In
a simple mixing with no sound treatment, the voices build a simple
antiphonary melting in the ambient sounds of the radio and field
recordings. This sad counterpoint is open by funerary bell tolls and
finishes in a melancholic music and a gentle bird’s song.
Something new is an irregular new(s)letter about me
(Giuseppe Gavazza)
