Beautiful one Edoardo, It's bringing emotion and feelings! Keep it up

Splendorous use of space with subtle cyclical movements of nostalgia mixed with a sense of searching. It feels like each note is reaching for a partner in resolve, floating through space and time. Love your work!

Sogni Dei Sensi

Step inside the hollow fortress, where the stone walls breathe with age and the corridors sink into untouched catacombs below. Cold air drifts through narrow passageways, carrying faint movements that echo beneath the Watcher’s silent gaze. Nothing stirs in these depths — yet the darkness feels aware of every step.

NUESTRA ESTRELLA

Todos los días al amanecer
veo una estrella en el cielo brillar;
ella ilumina en mi oscuridad
y el camino que he de recorrer.

Es mi aliciente para despertar
desde la ventana se contempla su luz;
pronto un nuevo día va a comenzar
y sólo siento que no lo veas tú.

Estribillo

Es nuestra estrella la que ilumina
Todos mis pasos cuando estás lejos
y sé muy bien que cuando la miras
tu boca añora la pasión de mis besos.

---------------------      

Cuento los días para regresar
y en nuestra casa disfrutar junto a ti;
captar en tus ojos que eres muy feliz
y tú en los míos con quién quiero estar.

Es mi aliciente para despertar
desde la ventana se contempla su luz;
pronto un nuevo día va a comenzar
y sólo siento que no lo veas tú.

OUR STAR

Every day at dawn
I see a star shining in the sky;
it illuminates my darkness
and the path I must travel.

It's my reason to wake up; from the window, I gaze at its light;
soon a new day will begin
and I only regret that you don't see it.

Chorus

It's our star that illuminates
all my steps when you're far away,
and I know very well that when you look at it,
your lips yearn for the passion of my kisses.

---------------------

I count the days until I return
and enjoy our home with you;
to see in your eyes that you are very happy
and you in mine, to see who I want to be with.

It's my reason to wake up; from the window, I gaze at its light;
soon a new day will begin
and I only regret that you don't see it.

Everything has always been here; perhaps it was only arranged differently.
Nothing has ever been lost, as in the moment it happened, it eternally shaped us.
"Otto Vite" (Eight Lives) delves into the mysterious permanence of love in the never-ending current of life. The Album seals frames of one's life story, in a mosaic built on metaphors, behaviours, memories, people, and gestures. The Record is structured in a way that each track films a discrete segment of life: describing an object, a person, or a feeling, and at the same time deepening a different connotation on the meaning of love, while remarking its foundation as the only permanent sublayer of an ever-changing world. The objective is to focus on the moment and its details, to understand that love is always before our eyes. And the rule is to mix things up, with the intention of putting them back together, in a configuration that makes us understand that we have always been. "Otto Vite" is an Album that, in some way, tributes the people who made me feel something, some kind of hope, a feeling of understanding, soft vibrations, those rare breathing moments in which our feet are grounded to earth, and we feel we are where we are meant to be.

Introduction and Lyrics in English

This song was inspired by the images of war that I have been increasingly confronted with on the internet, television, and social media in recent years.
The verses are an attempt to translate the sometimes unspeakable horror of brutally extinguished lives and destroyed houses and cities into pictorial, metaphorical language.
The chorus expresses the longing to stop this creeping wave of destruction and counter it with a profound world peace. A world peace that will lead stray souls, who are currently being seduced by right-wing populist and ultimately warmongering slogans, to return to their true loving, deeply humanistic core selves.
Since the entire song is a kind of desperate plea for more love for oneself and others, I chose Picasso's famous painting “The Supplicant” as song-cover.

To Rest in Peace

Eyes run with pus
A freshly wilted bouquet of flowers
Bridges are broken
Rainbows are grey
A man cries
Before his wife's corpse

Glasses without stems and without shine
A shadow invites you to dance with death
A bed stands crooked and askew
Because it ran in circles
The shop door
With the inscription ‘No one here’

Inside, it's seething
Everything wants to burst
Rabies has taken hold of my soul
The river of balm fights its way through the narrowness
Perhaps it will take away this curse of haste

I'd like to lie down for a while
To Rest in Peace
Who will give me the liberating blessing
To rest in peace
To rest in peace

Chocolate runs into the stairwell
The fairy tale is about to end
Red mushrooms give us the last poison
A sarcophagus is shipped anonymously

Horses can no longer find their way
A lizard man steps up to swear an oath of truth
Prayers are said on combs
Bubbles burst
Urinary retention
Now takes its course

My senses are shattered
A thousand ears
My eyes are flooded
Glaring light
Can't smell
Nostrils beaten black and blue
My tongue swells from the fresh cactus sting

I want to lie down for a while
To Rest in Peace
Who will give me the liberating blessing
To rest in peace
To rest in peace

In peace
In peace
In peace
In peace
In peace

Deutscher Originaltext

To Rest in Peace

Augen laufen eiternd aus
Ein frischverwelkter Blumenstrauß
Brücken sind zerbrochen
Regenbögen grau
Ein Mann weint
Vor der Leiche seiner Frau

Gläser ohne Stiel und ohne Glanz
Ein Schatten lädt zum Totentanz
Ein Bett steht krumm und schief
Weil es im Kreise lief
Die Ladentür
Mit Aufschrift "Niemand hier"

Im Innern brodelts
Alles will zerspringen
Die Tollwut hat meinen Seelenhain erfasst
Der Balsamfluss kämpft sich durch die Enge
Vielleicht nimmt er mir diesen Fluch zur Hast

Möchte mich ein wenig hinlegen
To Rest in Peace
Wer gibt mir den befreienden Segen
To Rest in Peace
To Rest in Peace

Schokolade läuft ins Treppenhaus
Das Märchen steht kurz vor dem Aus
Rote Pilze schenken uns das letzte Gift
Ein Sarkophag wird anonym verschifft

Pferde kommen nicht mehr in die Spur
Ein Echsenmensch tritt an zum Wahrheitsschwur
Auf Kämmen wird gebetet
Blasen springen auf
Die Harnverhaltung
Nimmt jetzt ihren Lauf

Meine Sinne sind geborsten
Tausend Ohren
Meine Augen sind geflutet
Greller Schein
Kann nicht riechen
Nasenflügel windelweich geprügelt
Mein Zunge schwillt vom frischen Kaktusstich

Möchte mich ein wenig hinlegen
To Rest in Peace
Wer gibt mir den befreienden Segen
To Rest in Peace
To Rest in Peace

In Peace
In Peace
In Peace
In Peace
In Peace

Sarah Theme - Return from the End | Zenless Zone Zero 2.4

Edoardo Gastaldi, born in 1998, is an award-nominated film-music composer based in Venice, Italy. 
His style combines slow piano lines with deep ambient atmospheres. In his creations, the frontier of repetitive post-classical minimalism meets deep compositional ambient layers, leading his arrangements to become a philosophical thread of condensed melancholy and sparse hope.
After several years of music studies, which provided him with formal training ranging from classical piano to music theory, in the summer of 2021, Edoardo started publishing his compositions and productions.
The influence of 17th-19th century pianists and the fascination for experimental edges make his music an ever-evolving equilibrium among Modern Classical, Ambient, and Post-Rock subgenres.

Gastaldi's philosophical approach is inspired by the sounds of foundational artists including Johan Söderqvist, Hammock, Tony Anderson, Leonard Petersen, Atli Örvarsson, Stephen Porter, Ronit Kirchman, Sigur Rós, John Cage and Nils Frahm.

Edoardo’s work deeply reflects his desire to explore human fragility, paradoxes, and the complexities of existence. Over time, his soundtracks were described as capable of delving into the big consequences and underlying roots we can’t avoid.

In 2024 Gastaldi scored the soundtrack for the multi-award-winning short film “Etilismo”, a story that delves into the sensitive issue of chronic alcoholism in youth.
