about

Modern instrumental music often takes itself too seriously, the solo album must be imbued with melancholy, reflections on the highest systems, a not indifferent dose of sadness, spleen and twilight. This record is no exception. The truth is that it is much simpler, let us say instinctively away, to write sad music than cheerful music. On the other hand, more generally, actors and directors can confirm it; it is easier to make people cry than to laugh. That is why I decided to open the album with this track, to discourage all potential listeners looking for Spotify, a nice playlist of sad songs. I am sorry to disappoint them twice, even three times. First of all because the record is not present on Spotify at all, it was written, thought, recorded, mastered with a traditional, critical and not dispersive listening in mind as the musical streaming. Secondly because the disc starts with a song that is not only cheerful and positive, but also carefree. Thirdly, because then in reality throughout the disc there are actually several reflective, sad and catacomb songs. Do you see what happens when you do not deepen the listening, when you get carried away by the urge of streaming? The records are not a set of single songs; they are a journey to be taken from beginning to end, without preconceptions and with the precise will to be amazed. Bicycle Promenade could be the soundtrack of a graceful costume comedy, set in some European city at the beginning of the last century. I imagined a carefree bicycle ride, on a beautiful sunny, we exaggerate, spring day. The landscape flows fast, but not too much, in front of my eyes. The greetings are cordial and auspicious. However, at a certain point … nothing, there are no but, the song basks in its positivity and feeds on it without remorse and machiavellism of any kind. The triggering idea was the rhythm of the first bars that for some strange reason reminded me of the noise of the bicycle chain, which evidently in my subconscious has that rhythm. It is a piece that could work well even imagining the main melody played by a clarinet, I’m thinking of making an alternative version with this instrument as a soloist.
