GIGI MASIN : IMPLODENDO IN UNA ACCECANTE OSCURITA' - PT.1 (LP black vinyl / ltd.200 numbered clear vinyl)Attention: this vinyl inlcudes two unrealised tracks not included in the cd edition GIGI MASIN : IMPLODENDO IN UNA ACCECANTE OSCURITA' - PT.2 (LP black vinyl / ltd.200 numbered clear vinyl) “a sad song for A.”: when art becomes the voice of emotions The project “a sad song for A.” was born from an insight Stefano Gentile had, driven by his moods and, in particular, a regret he had experienced in the past. It all began almost by chance, one evening, during an informal conversation. Stefano suggested that I narrate what I was experiencing most intensely at that moment: anxiety. After thoroughly analyzing this emotional state, he asked me to translate it into words, to write texts that could give voice to the emotions surrounding it. From there, came the idea of dividing the emotional journey into four stages that, in one way or another, we have all experienced: Panic, Anxiety, Light, and Dream. This is how Stefano involved me in this project, which combines writing, photography, and music with a specific goal: to make people feel less alone, creating an invisible thread of empathy through words, images, and sounds. In this way, “a sad song for A.” came to life and taught us – and continues to teach us – to feel closer to one another, to strike common inner chords, to remember that no one is truly alone when going through darkness, and that it is essential to never stop dreaming. Giulia Dal Vecchio In addition to Stefano Gentile and Giulia Dal Vecchio, “a sad song for A.” also features Gigi Masin, Fabio Orsi, Anacleto Vitolo, and a new multimedia project called Hiseka (Stefano Gentile and Giulia Dal Vecchio with various guests). “a sad song for A.” is released as a deluxe box set containing four CDs and four 12-pages booklets, 17x17cm in size. The box is limited to 300 hand-numbered copies. Each musician worked on a phase of anxiety, creating a dedicated and original work. Stefano created the images and Giulia wrote the texts. Each of the four parts was given a title that is also the title of the sound work. Anacleto Vitolo: Falling into a vortex of sick stars (for Panic) Hiseka: Drowning in a sea of dust (for Anxiety) Gigi Masin: Imploding in a blinding darkness (for Light) Fabio Orsi: Listening to the sound of sunflowers (for Dream) Gigi Masin's work will also be available as two separate vinyl records, which will feature two additional extra tracks not included in the CD version contained in the box set. In addition to the standard black vinyl edition, the two records will also be released on clear vinyl in a limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies each. Four videos (one for each CD) will also be available for streaming on Silentes’ YouTube channel, one made by Francesco Giannico and three made by Francesco Paladino.
