A moving, emotional, and loving tribute to Pierpaolo Pasolini by a fellow Friulian like Marco Brosolo. Above all, loving, because Brosolo interprets with delicacy, with sacredness (almost delineating new prayers for a new spirituality, far from the pettiness of modern churches and priests), the thoughts and poems of the great Italian author. He does so with an intimately vocal style, which is skillfully enveloped by arrangements that are typically cinematic (those who know Brosolo and his previous albums are aware of his closeness to the world of cinema in terms of sound). This time, however, Brosolo stages, alongside the beautiful and melancholic minimal piano melodies, a rhythmic support that decidedly hints at jazz, without forgetting the trip hop that in Berlin, as in the rest of Europe, was very successful in past years. The recovery operation of video and audio material from which Brosolo extracted phrases, making a real cut-up that then became text, is also interesting. It's worth highlighting the list of poetry, novels, and films by Pasolini, cited at random by the powerful voice of Pierpaolo Capovilla in the track "Lamento," the only piece that concedes to indie rock settings.
