What the label says:

Collaborations can be tempestuous in nature. A mindful and apperceptive exchange between participants is essential for an effective outcome. Often, works fall flat or become an exhausting tangle of egos when conscious awareness and understanding of the other player(s) goes unachieved. But any collaboration can result in a genuine test of patience, whether or not the musicians are experienced. On Bellows, however, Giuseppe Ielasi and Nicola Ratti achieve symbiosis within the emotive narratives they explore, and the outcome is stunning. Bellows is assuredly strongest when engaged as a whole. Each track and progression presents an important detail to the pensive narrative that would be sacrificed by not addressing the work holistically. The delicate, dreamlike state, suffused throughout every palpitation and murmur that Ielasi and Ratti conjure, is easily compromised due to the blanket effect presented within the structuring. The recording plays out as a sleep state, moving from wakefulness to light sleep to paradoxical sleep before awakening, following the fade out of the final sound.
