Entitled Stille, the CD invites you on a journey that intertwinesmusic from different sources (Japan, China, the United States, Italy) brought together aroundthe theme of the Far East and the images of permanence that derive from it, with pieces that investigatethe theme of time and suggest moments of reflection in a delicate dimension of suspension.The CD, which opens with China Gates by John Adams, a composer of the second generation ofminimal music, is configured as a concept album centered on a certain vision of music and theworld that has roots in the Far East but which then also touches the cultures of other countries.
