Description:
Starting from a past unpublished work composed for piano and voice only, this album is now presented to the listeners in a renewed form. Totally re-recorded. Once again partially done live (referring to the piano), but on the other hand with an huge sound-work and post-production due to the poor technical means of the period…so a pernickety job chiselled with love for culture and hate towards the modern conveniences in music.
The inmost essence of Spleen is the main theme of this work, the lives spent under its Aegis, the frail “fleurs de velours noir” never gathered because of the distrust people harbour towards all what is dark and avoids the sun of E<S>soterism.
A work close to some poems of mine, surely, but I also availed myself with the contribution of lyrics written by C.Baudelaire, P.Verlaine, G. Leopardi and A. Crowley. Moreover, musically enriched with new Chamber / Classical and Free Jazz arrangements, dark ambient contaminations, poetry reading/spoken word and finally the charming female vocal contribute of Maethelyiah (Artist well-known for her musical projects Blooding Mask, Ajanuary Field and now singer of renewed The Danse Society) …the final result which will probably make dumbfounded the usual listeners of EVN music, but which will surely moves this project to the attention of the most sophisticated ones is pure Avant-garde Decadent Musick from the blackest meanders of the synapses.
