Igor Nogarole is about to return with a Concept album, The voice of the servantinspired by one of the most important albums in the Maestro's discography Frank Beaten, The master's voice. To anticipate this work the single To the limit of the impossible.
Nogarotto thus explains its connection with the historic album by Battiato:
“I listened to The Master's Voice on cassette on September 21, 1981. That record made my creative juices erupt and gave me the urge to communicate through music.
Compared to the Gurdjieffian idea represented by Battiato of the Master Ego, conscience and will of the Individual, my project is centered on the Servant and is linked to the Superego, i.e. the set of conditionings and impositions of a Society that oppresses us and it makes us frustrated and obedient, preventing the natural development of our Essence”.
The song, which has a sui generis texture far from the canonical concept of a song, expresses the discomfort of not liking yourself and the fear of admitting it “and you would like to scream it”
while you are looking for a glimmer of hope and would like to find the strength to overcome your limits, even if it seems impossible.
In the text, at times surreal, in the melody and arrangements, Baptistasque reverberations clearly emerge as Igor explains Nogarotto…
“When Battiato left the horizontal line to follow the vertical one towards the spirit, I promised myself that I would thank him for having provided me with the tool to cure my suffering and that I would create a motivational sound path to in turn lend a hand to those is in difficulty, the result is the 15 tracks of the album La Voce del Servo: the immediate language of music, which touches our emotional chords without filters, can be a panacea, can instill emotional awareness and can spur us towards the realization of our dreams and goals”.
Here's a preview for the following All Music Italia the video clip of the song he directed Thomas Trumpet and assembly Jessica Corrao.
The album The Voice of the Servant it will be released on September 21st, i.e. on the same date on which it was released 43 years ago The Master's Voice Of Frank Beaten.
