about

Featuring two lengthy pieces recorded over a month, ‘SotoPortego’ offers a few telescopic sections of walks and pauses under Venice’ Porticos, meshed into one another. Documented between S.Marc’s Square and Campo San Barnaba, the album presents various piano pieces that are usually played outside cafes in the summer alongside the voices of waiters, tourists, and improvised opera singers elated by the Venetian atmosphere, as well as mundane conversations that take place in the area. When one characteristic sequence encounters by chance a slight sound, this one colors that one.

On the other hand, when an event sequence encounters another one, they perturb each other, for their good or for their evil. Such is life. ‘SotoPortego’ is based on principles of random variations that create encounters and superimpositions of cycles that combine themselves by natural succession. It is an example of my fascination with observing daily life and finding poetry in the everyday in an unaltered and vivid documentation of Venetian aliveness.
