ANNOUNCEMENT

We live an historical moment in which social distancing, fear of the other, paranoia prevailed.
Our task is not to get used to this condition, not to become addicted to this dystopian world in which one of the most important elements of society slowly collapses: sharing.
Paradoxically, we also live in an era in which the internet and social networks allow us, albeit distant, to produce and share.
and we, army of the fine arts, which humbly and with so many difficulties confront the liquid-modern world through music, images, dance, poetry, are perhaps now called more than ever to share.

"Rituale" is our cry of sharing, the scream of a man in a straitjacket accidentally locked up in an asylum.

listen to it for free or support us by purchasing it.

Jack D'Amico — prepared and unprepared acoustic piano, hyper piano, megaphone and objects
Walter Forestiere — floor tom, voice, speaker, field recordings and variable sonic objects

Recorded by Stefano Manca at Sudest Studio [Guagnano, Italy] on July 20th 2019
Mixed by Walter Forestiere

Photography — Jack D'Amico

Thanks to Giovanni, Giuseppe, Viviana and Marta

Viviamo un momento storico in cui hanno fatto prevalere distanziamento sociale, paura dell'altro, paranoia.
Il nostro compito è non abituarci a questa condizione, non restare assuefatti da questo mondo distopico in cui lentamente collassa uno degli elementi più importanti della società: la condivisione.
Paradossalmente viviamo anche un epoca in cui internet e social network ci permettono, seppur distanti, di produrre e condividere.
E noi, esercito delle belle arti, che umilmente e con tante difficoltà ci confrontiamo con il mondo liquido-moderno attraverso musica, immagini, danza, poesia, siamo forse chiamati ora più che mai a condividere.

"Rituale" è il nostro grido di condivisione, l'urlo di un uomo in camicia di forza rinchiuso per sbaglio in manicomio.

ascoltatelo gratuitamente o sosteneteci acquistandolo.
