"The first track is a long and most solemn work built with reverberated piano notes. A
slow and rhythmical flow leaning on a background made of clashing hisses and vague,
distant, rustling ambient noises… Track 2 is based on obscure drones moving in circles,
inexorably entangled on themselves… the last track is another long piano-based track,
this time more dilated, confused, ethereal and prim, so much that it takes the
distinguishing features of an indecipherable sonic mass, abstract and booming,
estranging, deep and psychedelic… Few and minimal elements, directed in a masterly
fashion and assembled in an absolutely fundamental work, from the brightest mind of
Italian experimental scene and of all music 'without compromises' of the last thirty
years… One of the last contributions to the history of music from an artist that, even in a
phase of extraordinarily and unstoppable creative mood, has recently chose and officially
announced to quit his long artistic activity. Simply essential." (Silentes)
