| Italian Import | This CD was recorded in 2003, utilizing the same compositive process of 'Sunja,' departing from a completely acoustic improvisation. This time the sound of the zither by Alio Die was melted with an old venetian piano totally reassembled and repaired by Michele Brieda. The recording was later elaborated and layered with the sound sources recorded in Paris by Alio Die, and in the West Asia by Sonja Timm and Francesco Paladino.

With Il Sogno di un Piano Veneziano a Parigi Alio Die and Festina Lente creates together a place of the memory where the past rest with a filmy nostalgia.. it is a dramatically joint that finally extinguish itself to the become.. there at the border where the personal moment ends, and the taste of an impersonal experience starts, with a longer breath. Like life belongs to the cosmos, and time belongs to the seasons. After a long friendship a pianoforte met a zither, their incorporating sounds brought on wings of an ancient and lully dream, in foggy layers of impalpable feelings and in a wayward journey towards the inland. The field recordings were collected in Paris, East-Asia, and America by Alio Die, kimsonJa and Francesco Paladino such as rituals, animals, objects and spontaneous voices in the street... surround and conduce towards parallel worlds.

The ambient tracks are alternated with more intense and obscure moments, without breaking the solution of the continuum, through the organic elaborations of the sound's dye... loops of notes and silences, subtle presences of the field recordings that spy both: mankind and nature… So the treated piano and the nipped and scrubbed cords, the voices and noises, the resonances of metals... calls back the memory's body,  that comes to the surface with great glangour. Dissolvent bright and dark colours, putting voices together to a poetical inspiration  and a glamorous and precise lyricism of the entire inside.
