Three years after its conception, this album from Washington's Elena Botts (Mourning Dove) and Milan's Matteo Uggeri (Sparkle In Grey) is finally released. Elena's works are primarily built on her voice and poems, while Matteo's are usually instrumental releases in the field of modern classical / experimental music.
This joint album was made in an extremely spontaneous way, sending files across the Atlantic ocean: Elena recorded a set of spoken poems and three sung pieces, often outdoor, walking in streets and fields, and Matteo arranged them all grabbing mostly acoustic sounds often provided by his long time collaborators.
Due to the strong and at the same time delicate timbre of Elena's voice, in spite of the relatively wide set of instruments (cello, electric guitar, trombone, trumpet, piano, violin and bass), the album sounds minimal and rarefied, as a long gentle suite of sparse notes and occasional rhythms driven by female vocal chords. Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digipak.
