"Oblio" (italian for "oblivion") is a collection of 7 tracks, of which one doesn’t exist. The album is a short study on abandonment, sweetness and melancholy associated with the progressive disintegration of memory, the loss and irreversible modification of the mind: an album about the sense of the end of things, up to the fulfillment of oblivion. Symbolically therefore the last track (the titletrack) is an empty space, it's missing as if it never existed, or as if it was composed in the past who knows by whom ... but forgotten. "Oblio" is based on classical piano music loops (Ravel, Debussy, Bartok), taken, internalized, reimagined and made "other", in an attempt to forget them: an almost Zen testbed for the abandonment of the self.

The opening piece "Nostalgia" explores and expands the space between two notes in a particular passage of "Adagio Religioso" from Béla Bartók's concerto n.3 for piano and orchestra, an almost scientific attempt to vivisect that melodic cell and observe it at microscope, to try to understand "what is there", why it is precisely in that micropassage that all the melancholy of the world seems to be enclosed. Also "Remembrance of things past" has the same intent, inspired by the Proustian novel (in particular by Vinteuil's "petite phrase"), and composed using only one sample elaborated from "La Fille aux cheveux de lin" by Claude Debussy. In "La même vieille chanson" the last fragment of an old melody is repeated stuck in the mind, mixing with the resonances of many day lived. It's based on a loop from Maurice Ravel's "Le Jardin féerique". Also the track three, whose title is a quote from a poem by Montale "Forse un mattino andando in un aria di vetro" ("Maybe one morning walking into an air of glass"), where to the sound of a window creaking in a particularly windy day, an apathetic day between many, a chant joins: in search of an epiphany that illuminates and rip the veil of reality. Finally "The worlds behind you..." is a dark lullaby under a dusty blanket of noise, and is based on a loop from the "Passacaille" of Ravel's Trio in A minor op.67; while "... are fading" still uses a fragment from "Le Jardin féerique" in decay.

This ambient piece is something of a departure for us, being somewhat calming as opposed to our more usual dark ambient/experimental output. It comes from the opening section of our second 2021 Lockdown Collaboration jam, recorded 06/01/21. 

The main piano soundscape was kindly provided by @anmoku. We also created a film for the piece and successfully submitted it for inclusion in "Dawn" online experimental music festival, curated by Glasgow-based Sound Thought, held over the last weekend of February.
