Spettri” is nothing more than a brief yet intense initiatory journey in six long stages: an ever-evolving emotional and artistic collection.
A true metamorphosis designed to provoke a clear surge of awareness, evoking fears and consciously pushing toward a possible resolution of the emotional blockages of the human condition. Each track speaks to a specific state of the soul: feelings, fears, and spectres in all their delicate and subtle nuances.
The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered in six days using the first two takes of every session: it is, in every respect, a Live EP.
This work was entirely produced by the Tuscany Region in collaboration with Toscana100band and ControRadio.
“6711 Yucca St”
The title is simply the composer’s first residence during his stay in Los Angeles, at 6711 Yucca Street in Hollywood.
This track gathers many influences, ranging from rock to jazz to fusion.
“Spettri” is a collection of thoughts, concepts, and ideas drawn from particular moments in each of our lives.
The Spectre that sooner or later each of us is forced to face.
“Oktophobie,” inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Oktophonie, represents the summation of human fears.
“Psicomagia” is drawn from the thinking of Alejandro Jodorowsky, and this piece is the result of an improvisation inspired by a Jeff Beck live performance.
“Golden Vanity” is nothing more than the “recognition of the sacred,” in the form of a dedication to the great Maestro Miceli, who passed away a few years ago.
“L’Innamorato,” also an improvisation, expresses that particular condition that invites us to reflect and question our emotional life.
The album was entirely produced by Frank Pilato with Regione Toscana, ControRadio & Toscana 100 Band.
