It is the result of a slow rhythm, of a construction defined to the millimeter with infinite patience, the collaboration between Alessandro Sgarito and Roberto Mares. An exchange activated in 2024, which lasted for the necessary amount of time and which finds its name in a real architecture – an air raid shelter from the Second World War – located in the garden of one of the two authors. A place, therefore, even before a story, a record that aims to be a comfortable listening environment, an all-round sensorial experience.
The key word for the activated synergy is balance, the art of introducing one's own vocabulary within a shared space without abuse. The sound is stratified, swells and expands until it takes on a definitive shape, letting every modulation, every note breathe. Synths add density, instruments track the melody, pulses add structure. Ambient is the pre-eminent field of action, but the sound moves nimbly on coordinates new classical punctuated by the presence of the piano and synthetic strings, downtempo openings and electric drifts of post-rock origin. All without creating caesuras, maintaining a coherent evolution of the whole.
This perfect fit can accommodate with identical virtue a series of precious contributions, capable of interacting, expanding the sonic horizons without distorting them. The hypnotic voice of Helga Raimondi (Dictaphone) in “Unbroken”, the very profound words narrated by Fabio Puletti in “Cloud#10” bring the warmth of presence. Laura Bisceglia's cello elegantly leads the two tracks in which she is involved, enhancing the elegiac tone without weighing it down. In the same way, Fabio Capanni's guitar acts surgically, remaining in the shadows, but determining the outcome of the final “Gl_tch L_ve”.
A vision made choral from which a hybrid trajectory is born in the name of contemplation. A story that does not seek an outcome, but welcomes in the warmth of sound to give a time suspended from the anxiety of the world to those who have the patience to delve in and linger.
