night meeting

Field recording taken in Naples in 2025  by IB (Spaccanapoli, Quartieri Spagnoli, funicolare)
Poetry by IB

'A muntagna* speaks, at Phlegraean Fields the volcanic caldera quakes.
Solfatara’s energy enlivens the air & breathes centuries.
Vesuvius is so green & magnetic, feeling longing dint’ e ven*.
The gentle tops call to mind the Euganean Hills. 
Quiescent wound & an afterness teeming at the foot.
Moving the city’s buzzing, o mare*.
A flare in the distance as a sun rising tired & disheartened.
Is it you Parthenope? Perpetual drowning, your body washed ashore upside down.
The long cry, the dirge emerging & merging with heat dying in the throat.

A muntagna* parla, ai Campi Flegrei la caldera vulcanica trema.
L’energia della solfatara anima l’aria e respira secoli.
Il Vesuvio è così verde e magnetico, nostalgico sentire dint’ e ven*.
Le cime gentili ricordano i Colli Euganei.
Ferita quiescente e un dopo che brulica alle pendici.
Commovente il pulsare della città, o mare*.
Un bagliore lontano come un sole che sorge stanco e amareggiato.
Sei tu Partenope? Affogare perpetuo, il tuo corpo riportato a riva rovesciato.
Il pianto lungo, la nenia che emerge e si mescola al calore che muore nella gola.'

the mountain | la montagna (the way Vesuvius is called) - in the veins | nelle vene - the sea | il mare

A Muntagna

Shadows keep marching on 
No more tears, only fire 
Silent cries in the night 
Still burning for the light 

Echoes fade into the sky  
No more words, only survivre  
Ashes drifting in the air 
Silence heavier than stone 

Live in the storm

A cover of Midwife's incredible track "Vanessa". Madeline is a huge inspiration to me, and this track might be one of my favourites her and of all music generally. I hope I came close to doing it somewhat justice with this cover ♡
