I am happy to announce a cut I wrote lyrics for, sang, and recorded about a year ago and was finally granted permission to post it on SoundCloud, which I am linking here.
This track blends, with permission, Francesco Berta’s “Missing” music — soundcloud.com/search?q=Francesco%20Berta%27s%20Missing — (Composed, recorded, and mastered by Francesco Berta. Piano, celesta, guitars, and programming: Francesco Berta; Cello: Aríanna Hönnudóttir) as a bed of sound under which Mario Savioni sings lyrics and vocals. Lyrics derive from a review Savioni wrote on paintings of Heather Wilcoxon, which depict boats immigrants take to cross oceans to escape danger (See: http://www.heatherwilcoxon.com/paintings-2014/).
