1.      Antelao Adrift (32:07)  watch video   download clip

Fist days of January 2007 I was going up Monte Antealo( a 3000 meters mount in Dolomiti mountain range ) for a solo climbing, starting my path from San Vito di Cadore, I quickly had to put on my new crampons, and when I was in Forcella Grande (a big saddle 500 meters  below the peak ), despite the beautiful day with a shining sun, suddenly fast clouds wrapped themselves up in a sudden snowstorm and swift winds scared me and pushed me to get down to the warm of  village, 1500 meters down to the valley. Up in Forcella Grande I had a strange emotion, remembering me the Tarkivskij’s “zone”, where “Nature” put us in space-time paradoxical labyrinths where we have to figure out the exit…

 

2.      Waves of Wanderer (13:21)  watch video  download clip

I entitled my work “Wanderer” with reference to the philosophical concept related to this German term. What I love in alpinism … and in music, is just this necessary lost of the way home … being alone in a unknown space-time (a “zone” going back to the Stalker metaphor); this is the starting point to possibly discover true and you will go back home as a better person only after that path beyond the portal of geographic/ mind maps … finally surfing on a sweet swimming through snowy waves of peace…    

 

3.      Bonatti’s Butterfly (20:45)  watch video  download clip

Walter Bonatti is the climber I love more, not because his historical records on solo climb in ‘60, but more because his philosophical life path, what he concluded about human being mission though Nature. In one of his book I read, concerning the tragically famous climbing  on Monte Bianco Freney pillar in 1961, an awful escalade where three climbers died after some days of snowstorm at 4000 meters of altitude, Walter Bonatti tell that after seven days of extreme efforts, really  near to the death himself, he saw a butterfly  alone in the snow, up to 4000 meters of altitude, dying because almost frozen and he compared himself to that poor dying butterfly …

 

4.      East Ending (08:53)  watch video

Sometime I go up Monte Fasce, a hill that dominate my city, Genova. His only 850  meters altitude, but I start my track from my house, a the sea level zero elevation, so this very small mountain require some effort and I trek it for keep in form. After many hours of gait, getting down to home, looking the sea in front of me, a sweet “solyaris” remembrance and a sense of peace take possession of me…     

  

 

Listeners’ comments

 

Natural environment possess his sounds that influence visitors able to listening. Giorgio's idea is to communicate through purely musical sounds reminding big ambient subjects, wind, water, grasslands, skies, horizons, etc.  You can lose yourself among notes, coming back from climbing a slope: sublime experience!

 

L'ambiente naturale ha i suoi suoni naturali che suggestionano i frequentatori che li sanno ascoltare. L'idea di Giorgio č di comunicare la suggestione attraverso suoni prettamente musicali ma che richiamano i grandi temi ambientali, vento, acqua, praterie, cieli, orrizzonti ecc. L'invito č di perdersi tra le sue note al ritorno da una salita: esperienza sublime!

I love your delight - and blissful record. Great stuff.  I like what the music is doing with me and my mind. Ambient must be music with the power to watch an imaginary movie and Wanderer is perfect for this! Wanderer and is really amazing. Specially "Waves of Wanderer" track is beautiful floating and has very positive vibrations. This is etherial and outstanding ambient, such spiritful music.
