La lezione 02:44
LA LEZIONE Ti ho seguito su quei passi disegnati sulla neve A volte erano chiari, a volte erano lievi, Colorati solamente dalla mia immaginazione. Ti ho visto camminare su strade dove c’ero solo io. Un amante, o un complice, che era forse già evaso Scappato su terre esotiche che non avevo immaginato ancora. Ma la mia idea di te mi ha preso al volo Quando non c’era nessun che potesse vedermi cadere tra neve e ghiaccio. Quindi, ovunque tu sia, io lancio il tuo ricordo volare via. Lo lascio ai i fiocchi di neve Che coprono i mei passi e i tuoi E che porteranno infine ancora al nostro amor.

Moon's Beauty The moon send her spell in the night Spread her gentle rays through the branches tight of the wood. She knows the power of her beauty. She knows the things she can find. Half truths, but real magic, she comes for you and for her. The moon desires she has many, they all knock to your door and when you open, she sings and sights. No shame, no doubts, no limits. She moves her wheels tenderly and slowly. Until her voice and her wishes enter your heart, She might then kiss you, or not. Fool moon you leave your soft dreams here, Your visions and your wishes between the shadow and light.

The Letters 04:33
I remember your smart, inventive words written in light blue ink on small little papers, torn. Secretly exchanged in the history classes at school. History was great then, but nothing could beat your hooks, in the description of your sexy dreams, little spells, that you had the night before. And you demanded all my attention there. My eyes at your daydreaming, your sinful innocence. Dante’s Inferno, Le flour du Mal, The pictures of Dorian Gray, Ungaretti, Crista Wolf, and the Mists of Avalon. How many words lost in those foggy afternoons... Did they ever mean anything? Seeds for other futures, sacred alternative worlds, where poetry is the only religion that is worth following on. And where love is the most fancy, exciting, authentic, final, kink. I forgive all that past that aborted this future, He could not be a prophet like you and me, in your secret dreams

Life is a game of a puppeteer who decides to discover himself through our pleasure and our pain. And so, your slow walk in the twilight, through the streets of the city, the colours of the sky through the medieval buildings, the sounds of your steps in your Italian high heels, your elegant white dress, your tender redemption feelings... While you are waiting for me before the cold of the night comes. In truth, all this, have no meaning. No meaning at all. And my sights at that sky, my looks at the clock on my wrist, my words, my hopes, my filtered memories. Like yours, my love, have no meaning. No meaning at all. If not the one of making the Dreamer jealous of the two of us, dancing blessed in the puppets-game of our true Love.

about

A collaboration between the Norwegian pianist Line Maria Hauge and Massimo Barberi.
This album started with a workshop that Massimo arranged some years ago, a workshop about meditation art and creativity. One of the participants in that program was Line, who is not only a very dedicated yogini, but also a great classical piano player. Classical musicians though are often rather careful in involving themselves in composition of new music, because they are trained in performing to the level of perfection the musical pieces written by the classical composers.
So, inspired by the workshop, Line started to compose her own material for the first time, and this is the first collection of some of her songs.
Massimo Barberi sings in 4 of them and cured the arrangements and the production.

The songs have been recorded mainly live, so the sound is rather "organic" which, we believe, might make the whole thing more emotionally candid.
