This collection of pieces was created with the intention of bringing together different mixes I have made in recent years in a totally anarchic way. Little by little I organised the sounds and gave them a certain order.

It seems to me that the basic idea of this work can be condensed by the word sym- phony; to put sounds together, to bring them together; to pretend that the sounds are able to stay together. This then is a symphony, telling something very simple and at the same time heroic in a way: the love of sounds, of trying out combinations of timbres and forms. It is a single piece in five movements, which are not distinguished so much by different temporalities, but rather by hypotheses.

The whole creates a kind of music that relies upon testimonies of musicians I had collected.

The disc is dedicated to the little ones, Ettore and Lucio. Love, track 2, to Laura, Flowing Again to /nu/thing, they know why, Spirits to Lucia Peralta, the violist who is present in various parts of the disc and finally Escape to Franco Venturini, unstoppable pianist and composer.
