WE ARE LIGHT AND STONES

June 29, 2023  by Stefano Palleni


Every new ship deserves to be greeted - might be just a chalice of young wine. So it does this ethereal vessel, embedded with fragile speeches, a quick baptism before sailing into a world of vibrant electromagnetic waves, ideas, sounds, bumps, hopefully happy encounters and, of course, shadows and lights. An impalpable craft made of light and cables, electricity and silicon. Innocent yet alluring as the name it bears. Among the things we can do, I’ve chosen the most elusive. Music lasts the space of a breath and steals its matter from the very thin air, when it finds a fertile land in the ear of the attentive listener, it puts roots in the eternal everchanging memory. The very tears of joy and sadness drawn from our eyes carry the same salt of the great sea. Whether we wreck against a bitter rock or wind toward radiant dawns, let's look further ahead! Our minds fixated into the future, our sails thrust by the winds of imagination, and the wheel guided by the lamp of the spirit!


This website is meant to collect and showcase the precious gems coming from original artists. Articles, reviews of recordings and live performances, didactical material, new compositions and essays, clinics and of course audio and video materials pertaining to new and unique musical projects will be presented here. For how diverse the character and the nature of music could be, the common thread lies in  the originality of the projects. This short presentation is to encourage the artist to connect and collaborate through this website which serves to ignite creativity and highlight their work. The creative musician is an even more rare kind of animal in today's music panorama, in order to regain his dignity it’s necessary he makes the leaps toward a new perspective that encompasses the view and the skill of the entrepreneur. I believe that social medias should be in support of independent production and not vice versa, this new platform is a contribution and an effort in this direction.
