This is another little story exploring the Yin and yang, the balance and interaction between water and air, shade and light, major and minor.
Recorded in the same iconic studio and room where Ennio Morricone made 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso' and Nino Rota 'The Godfather', this piece is the teaser of a bigger 15-20 min (3-4 movements) piece I plan to write soon. Enjoy!

Thanks to: Cecilia and Celeste, my unlimited source of smiles, my family, Dario for being the honorary member of the Lydian fellowship, Tommy (summer of 2018, the first sketch in your studio!), the orchestra for putting all their heart into it, all my friends Barbad, René, Tom, Trian, Giacomo, Filippo Valentino, Marco, Damiano, Lucas, Davide and everybody else I’m forgetting now for your enthusiasm in supporting my music and to you all for the invaluable support!
