Cat.#: ROHS!044CD
Release date: 16/3/2023
Format: CD, Digital

'Divide' is a wound, a gash in the earth, a chasm within which sound currents - previously flowing placidly to the surface - plummet.
The effect is disruptive, it is like a clash of sounds or more precisely a collision of musical worlds.
It is a dizzying fall into an abyss that tears two environments apart.
But this is precisely the place where the electric and acoustic sounds of Roberto Galati’s and Federico Mosconi's guitars tangle, in an impervious and not easy context, mostly unexpected.
This place is a source of inspiration; the beginning of a new and transformed source.
Torn from their environment, the sounds mix.
They are caught in the chasm and ruinously collide and split.
But at some point they reassemble, the upheaval subsides and changes its appearance.
Blue is the colour of calm, of emotional serenity, of harmony and of a found balance.
Blue is the hue that gives colour to the ocean, to steel and to cobalt.
It evokes the Arctic, as well as a sea and space.
It tastes electric and ultramarine.
An assortment and a richness of shades are created in the chasm; making theirs way beyond its boundaries, they can spread freely.
It is a stream of sounds that is not always reassuring; it is coarse yet polished.
Its thousand rivulets propagate with a flow at once mild and unruly, ideally calm like the endless space and impetuous like the ocean.
'Divide' is a fracture that abruptly and furiously unites.

La chitarra quale strumento d’elezione, un’aura solenne spesso pervasa da maestosa gravità, la ricerca costante di un’emozionalità preminente. Sono diversi i punti di contatto tra le declinazioni ambient proposte da Roberto Galati e Federico Mosconi, evidenze di un’affinità confluita più volte in traiettorie plasmate a quattro mani. “Divide” è il terzo tassello di tale sinergia e mette nuovamente in mostra la naturale connessione tra i due artisti.

Quiete confortevole e tensione ascendente, contemplazione e ruvidezza, acustico ed elettrico. L’intero album si nutre di dicotomie marcate, atte a generare moti sinuosi spinti dal confronto anche aspro tra le parti in causa e abilmente rifinito da una componente elettronica utilizzata come substrato connettivo. I paesaggi modulati inseguono un equilibrio sonoro ed interiore denunciato anche dal ricorrente richiamo cromatico delle denominazioni di ogni traccia. Il blu ha la forza inarrestabile di un Oceano dipinto dall’intersezione di scarne partiture acustiche e frequenze sintetiche oniriche, ha la ruvidezza dell’elettricità e la galleggiante visionarietà del cosmo. Sa essere algido e rilucente come acciaio definito da bordoni saturi e frammenti luminescenti, essenzialmente incantevole come un orizzonte del nord.

Tutto è sensorialmente vivido, in bilico tra astrazione e narrazione tattile e sa raccontarci di viaggi condivisi fatti di immagini ariose e stati d’animo spalancati sull’infinito.
