Christine
All Those Years We Weren't Together

When dealing with works like this, the fear one has is that of not being up to the task of describing what – fundamentally – only the artist himself can know. Christine is a project born in 2015 from the mind of Marco Landi, a multi-instrumentalist already active in other projects, such as the one related to Aseptic White Age. In Christine, it’s not about metal, rock, or anything else, but about an emotional journey experienced by the artist himself, lived during the three years of his mother's brain coma. Something extremely complex and heartbreaking, which Marco decided to narrate in music through "All Those Years We Weren't Together," a journey developed in five tracks between experimentation, neofolk, and ambient music. Within his tracks, we find all the creativity of this musician, capable of conveying highly contrasting emotions in almost fifty minutes of total play time. A work that offers multiple interesting insights, ranging from the jazz imprint given to each song to the fact of having surrounded himself with friends/musicians able to provide solid support to his ideas, adding “external” elements such as sax and sitar able to make the entire work even more varied and expressive. We are not facing an immediate or commercially inclined project, but rather a niche work that can gift immense emotions to anyone who gives it a chance, something that will significantly involve those who live music firsthand as musicians and anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with complicated aspects of life like the one Marco experienced. Moving.
