NOTE ON THE MUSIC OF THE »GARDENS« PROJECT:
The music of »Gardens« is conceived not only as base for improvisation and meditation, but also as soundtrack for cinematographic works and audiobooks, for the development of cinematographic and theatrical scripts, of contemporary dance choreography, of reworkings of non-contemporary dances, of art installations of videos and / or of sounds and / or of lights, of exhibitions of performance art, of tableaux vivants, of gymnastic disciplines and of any form of performative art, that is, not only dance, music and theater, but also illusionism, mime, marionette and puppet theater and circus art.
Conceived in imitation of nature, the music of »Gardens« is like a river, always equal to itself but always changing, on whose banks to lie down without expecting anything.

MUSICAL FORM:
»Landscape Garden«'s albums featuring LOÏC ABDELFETTAH are divided in 3 large sections, within which this version of the »2 Books for Change« of 2021, dedicated to its first interpreter, is edited in several cycles of 6 albums each in the context of a post-production also oriented by the numerology of the »GARDENS« project.

NOTE ON THE »GARDENS« PROJECT:
Musical and then multimedia transposition project of DUCCIO DEMETRIO's 28 Symbolic Gardens from »Di che giardino sei? Conoscersi attraverso un simbolo | What's Your Garden? Self-knowledge through a Symbol«, in which the intimate relationship with nature becomes self-knowledge. Musical transposition realized with a first process, radicalized with musical pictography, of progressive reduction of scores of the past to the dot and the line; organized in »Books for Change«, which derive, by varying them, conception and denomination from the translation of the »I-Ching« by JOHN BLOFELD. Multimedia transposition that begins where the compositional process ends up revealing the bare structure and intrinsic beauty of the musical scores. Evocative appeal to technology among magical thoughts in the forest of PRALADRIT, which welcomes and informs a project, which is the daily exercise of a path aimed at the essential, which began with the literal renunciation by its main author of all unnecessary material goods and largely developed with obsolete technological means although in dialogue with AI.

CONCEPT OF »THE LANDSCAPE GARDEN« FROM THE PROJECT'S WORK PLAN:
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lILma3TZd-DZUH1M05Nn31iyFnFtR6L3?usp=sharing
Play of vision and perspective in depth and in extension, parks are small landscapes enclosed within the larger landscape that hosts them. Background and foreground chase each other and cross each other from metamorphosis to metamorphosis: from wild to orderly, from meadow to wood, they seek the thrust forward, the crossing of the fences, before the divine condemnation returns to immobilize them...
Those who love the park, and perhaps dream of visiting it even when it is closed to the public, are grappling with the dilemma between inner excavation and silent contemplation. Their primary need to wander and chase boundless beauty would push them further, but in the end they just need to get lost in the illusion of a horizon, which they can reach, when they want to.
