La Papessa is a musical story set in the evocative landscapes of Alto Sebino and Valle Camonica.
The mysterious atmosphere and melancholic beauty of these places serve as both backdrop and inspiration for a six-chapter (six-track) psychological thriller in music.
The true protagonist is sound itself: an intimate felt piano merges with the expressive possibilities of an MPE synthesizer, creating a rich and layered sonic world through overdubbing techniques.
The compositional approach aims to evoke an ethereal, timeless sensation, where melody, rhythm, and harmony blend in a completely new way. Timbre and sound quality take center stage, offering a listening experience where the music becomes a true sound painting.
It is the soundtrack to an imaginary film, a psychological thriller that needs no images.
By listening to La Papessa from start to finish, you’ll feel as if you’ve watched a movie—with characters and places—told entirely through music.
