Neve Di Primavera

Alessandro Pedretti (Endless Tapes, Sdang!) and I have constructed a piece of music to accompany, "La Memoria Delle Pietre" a white marble sculpture by Milena Berta.

This piece has it's inauguration on the 19th May, in the town of Valle Camonica, in Italy.

The music takes it's inspiration from the many caves in the surrounding area, I contribute fretless bass with some suitably cavernous reverberations and the percussive elements are made from audio samples of local stones and naturally occurring minerals found in the vicinity.

I'll post a few more details about the music soon, but for now please see the link below (in Italian)
