  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    In the bonus item you can find the 2018's teaser of ALPINE by the cinematographic director VITTORIO GAZZERA, that was inspired for his 3D animated space opera by the version without choruses of the MANUEL CHIEREGATO's overture for ALPINE GARDEN.

    It was a polyphonic loop for chamber orchestra, composed with prolation canons and mirror counterpoints, divided into 8 equal parts, each of which was repeated by a synthesizer orchestra, which projected the sounds in the wider range of electronic instruments.

GENERAL NOTE.
Music to meditate, to feed the imagination, to increase concentration, to promote relaxation or the awakening of the soul.
Music to tell a story, to read a poem, to draw inspiration, to write a tale, to act on a stage, to venture into the realm of fantasy, crossing unknown and secret gardens without moving from the sofa.
Music conceived in imitation of nature: like a river, always equal to itself but always changing, on whose banks to lie down without expecting anything.
Music that creates dreamlike and hypnotic atmospheres, for multimedia artworks, ambient backgrounds, audio/video/light installations in public or private places.

CONCEPT OF "MINIATURE GARDEN".
It is the garden of miniaturized plants, whose care, according to the Japanese legend of the old Takamuro, helps to maintain a youthful appearance forever. To those who asked him about his love for bonsai, he replied that, by identifying with this small world, one always remains a child. Observing this dwarfed landscape from above, we feel immortal gods, who know everything and can everything...
It is the garden where everything is reduced enough to be dominated, where you try to obtain total control over what is around, but, unable to do so, you are content to "tame it" or, at least, to harness its unpredictability, offering their protection in return. It is the garden of those who feel among the few who are able to find the cosmic meaning contained in the little things.

CONCEPT BY TIZIANA COMIS, inspired by the book DI CHE GIARDINO SEI? CONOSCERSI ATTRAVERSO UN SIMBOLO (What's your Garden? Self-knowledge through a Symbol) by DUCCIO DEMETRIO, to whom our most sincere thanks go.
