What the label says:

During the summer of 2003 I went on holiday completely alone for the first time.
I spent my time travelling by car around the central regions of Italy, from Emilia Romagna to Tuscany, than to Lazio and finally to Abruzzo, visiting very small villages.

I brought with me a microphone and a minidisc, and - alone or with the people I met (family and friends) - I recorded every kind of sound. That's what is usually called 'field recordings', with voices, occasional chants, 'street sounds' and more.

One year later, I went again to Laterina, one of the places I had been to in 2003, and there, with my friend musician Davide Valecchi (Aal), we played guitar and other instruments, and recorded melodies that I then mixed with the field recordings from the year before.

The summer of 2003 was the hottest summer of the last century in Italy and most of Europe, and the disc somehow reflects all of this, and that's why it’s titled "A Rainless Summer."

During that trip I met other musicians, such as Giuseppe Verticchio (aka Nihm), Andrea Marutti (Never Known/Amon), who participated to the recordings.

I’m very grateful to all of them.



"The instrumental interludes (acoustic or electric guitars and soft electronic inserts) are small serenades that flirt with the field recordings, generating a sense of melancholy for the time that passes and never comes back..."

"It's a work with many details and shades which will appeal to those who like the more humane part of field-recordings based compositions."

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
