An album made out of completely acoustical materials coming from over ten years of recordings, including some rare tracks produced for Audiobox, a radio program hosted by Pinotto Fava and Pino Saulo on the Italian Broadcasting Corporation.
Saulo writes about these materials: “…The instruments make their work, they don’t speak and they don’t elude each other, they neither stutter or mimic sounds they could have been. The melodic lines cross and intersect, sometimes they accomplice each other and some others they follow different tracks, and then they meet again, they turn or launch themselves in sudden unisons; you can recognize echoes from popular ballads and, at the same time, from Messiaen or Ligeti; they resemble the call around a campfire or a lonely drunk walk.
Roberto names it “cultured dance music”. It is remarkable that he avoids the error made by those who put the popular songs into concert halls, arguing a (thanks God?) never concided dignity, which call it “cultured popular music”. Roberto is proudly aware of his composing skills, but he’s perfectly able to give sound, blood, skin and nerves, namely rhythm, to this music…”
