Yes, a soundtrack, again.

(Well, I love cinema. And books. Both are great sources of inspiration fot music.)

​

Libero is probably less known than Le Retour (The Return) who inspired my previous album.

It is the first film directed by the italian actor Kim Rossi Stuart, a family drama focused on Tommi, an 11 years old boy trying to exist by himself between a elusive mother and a temperamental father - to sumarize the plot very quickly.

The movie is smart, realistic, rough and dignified at the same time. Young Alessandro Morace embodies a very moving Tommi, while Kim Rossi Stuart balances between brutality, despair and love as a brilliant tightrope walker.

​

Such a retaining story inspired me a music as light and realistic as possible. There is a lot of guitar, piano, bass, flat drums, soft synth or strings pads. And harmonica too, because I love this instrument - even if it's not so popular for many people. (As oboe - I like oboe too.

Well, nobody's perfect.)

​

I wouldn't say Libero is my best achievement. But I like it a lot.

The thing is it's precisely what I wanted it to sound. Like Le Retour but with more control, right in the middle of the target.

​

So, when i've finished it, I was about to think it would be my last album so far. Because I felt as if I wouldn't have anything interesting to express for a long time.

It's been almost true - apart two or three things I needed to say about personal matters in a one more project.
