(Italy – Luxembourg, 2008-2019)
Giovanni regularly told me that he had to start recording, but each time he was caught up in new compositions. This album brings together all the songs that did not belong on the “Anomalie della percezione” project and is a collection of different recordings. Its title is a message for my husband.
“Lien cosmique (I’ll Be Fine)” was reworked by Guillermo Cides in April 2024.
Restoration & Mastering by Pierre Fuchs at “Studio Nagualsoundz”, Beaufort, Luxembourg, and some songs by Guillermo Cides at “Silent Studios” Barcelona, May 2024.
