Nebbia
This is the first track from my latest EP Metamorfosi, is a sound journey inspired by the myth of Boreas and Orizia. Boreas, the North wind, symbol of strength and transformation, kidnaps Orizia, a princess who initially perceives him as a simple breath, to then discover his human essence. This encounter between wind and flesh, between nature and spirit, is the beating heart of this collection. The collection is composed of two sections - each composed of two songs - the first ambient/cinematic and the second more club and industrial. What unites each song is the sound of the Voice - the first has the same vocal track as the fourth and the second as the third - to which I associated the "fertilizing breath"more
