Demetrio Stratos
Le Milleuna

This work is part of Stratos's experimental discography, that is, the part of his career dedicated solely to the pursuit of maximum profit concerning his virtually unique voice.

Stratos had, as many of you know, a malformation of the larynx, which would "split": it is this defect that brought fame to Stratos, who could produce 2, 3, or even 4 sounds simultaneously. Unfortunately, he died too soon for his fans, but he is by no means forgotten. His vocal power remains an unsurpassed test for singers even today.

This so-called "dance suite" is nothing more than the voice of the aforementioned, repeated for about 60 minutes. I think there are about 200 words in total, without any musical background, just the legendary Demetrio and his vocal variations. As a work, it is very interesting, even if difficult to tackle (once you've heard it, you're good). In any case, there are some effects that truly give you chills, or make you jump due to the volume increase.

Sure, while listening you might feel like saying: "Isn't it over yet?", and you start to reminisce about the early days of the artist's career. All the beautiful things, "Arbeit Macht Frei", L'abbattimento dello Zeppelin (the first track by Area that introduces the "vocal noises"), and even if you feel a bit nostalgic, you understand that this artist over time evolved, and changed the whole concept of singing that existed before his arrival.

A revolutionary man in every sense, a bit cursed and a bit saintly, but always a legend.
