MAteria Prima

This album was driven by the desire of finding little piano pieces that feel like the work of an alchemist, starting from the primordial essence, first matter, forging shapes and creatures that symbolize the advancement of the human being in their spiritual path.

To deepen this connective symbol, the piano is sometimes played at the center of a circle composed by 2 violas, a bass flute, and a double bass, forming a Quincunx, the crucible of enlightenment.

Materia Prima is available now.
