 Hubbard is a giant that lies somewhere in a cemetery, down in California. His traces remain, soft, full-bodied and soaked in expressiveness.

 The track that gives the album its name is epic, profound, and the harmony dictated by the clarinet is the most poignant and melancholic that a melody can dictate.

Orchestrion showcases Pat Metheny’s innovative use of automated instruments controlled through complex programming, creating a precise yet impersonal sound.

 The chromatic interpretation is compelling: it always moves from very intense and deep tones to the lighter and clearer ones, in a shapeless blend made of visible brushstrokes.

 The colors of the fruits are always dense, surreal, chemical, and tell our time, in their innocent stasis, for their banality, their unhealthy, acidic appearance.

 An absolute genius this artist, who never wanted to identify himself with any movement, wrongly associated with Italian pop art.

 This painting, in its immediacy, if we want, chemical purity (executed with quick-setting paints) is a perfect protagonist of maniacal, money-sucking art, made on commission.
