On the night of 9th October 1963 at 22.39, a landslide from Monte Toc* fell down into the Vajont artificial lake (Pordenone, Italy) causing a mega-tsunami and a seismic shock twice the power of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The 250 metre wave that overtopped the Vajont Dam with 50 million m3 of water overflowing in total (other two waves were simultaneously produced), killed over 3000 people. 1910 victims and among the 1300 missing, many were dismembered and atomised by the air mass movement blast. The seismic shock and its earth tremors were recorded as far away as Brussels and Vienna. 
The white dam, perfectly built and still intact, is the tallest in Europe and considered by experts, a work of art.
Tina Merlin, journalist and partisan, wrote, denounced and opposed the construction of the Vajont Dam on Monte Toc (geologically unstable) from 1957 till the disaster in 1963. 

In figures:
- 20 seconds for the landslide to reach the water level
- 45 seconds to fill the hole
- 270 million cubic metres of rock slid down from Monte Toc
- 25 million cubic metres of water overtopped the dam
- 250 metres high, the wave overtopping the dam (50 million cubic metres of water overflowed in 3 waves)
- 25 seconds to the impact
- twice the power of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- 1910 victims, half of them impossible to identify
- 1300 missing, many dismembered and atomised by the air mass movement blast

'The Dam, for Tina

Tick-Toc*, Tick-Toc, 
Tick-Toc.
All elements buzzing
the earth first sliding
implacable, unending
and then water 
bursting and collapsing
the air blasting
burning and flaying 
limbs and futures
dismembered and 
atomised.

Tick-Toc, Tick-Toc
Tick-Toc.
Almost history 
kneeled down before
the stone.
Almost a war 
its spectres of trees subsiding 
rocks whirling down into
the hole and howls aborted 
perpetually.
Almost a genesis
new order.

Tick-Toc, Tick-Toc,
Tick-Toc. 
Oh damned dam
you, impassive artefact
double-curved arch
towering above, perfect
tiara embellishing 
human hubris.
You, tragic Niobe
still, tonguing your lake
your concrete womb.
You, work of art.

La Diga, a Tina

Tic-Toc*, Tic-Toc, 
Tic-Toc.
Gli elementi a rumoreggiare
lo scivolare primo della terra
implacabile, interminabile
e poi l’acqua 
che esplode e collassa 
l’aria che detona
ustiona e scortica  
membra e futuro 
dilaniati e 
polverizzati.

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc
Tic-Toc.
Quasi la storia 
inginocchiata dinanzi
alla pietra.
Quasi una guerra 
i suoi spettri di alberi che sprofondano 
rocce che vorticano giù
nel buco e urla abortite 
in perpetuo.
Quasi una genesi
un ordine nuovo.

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,
Tic-Toc. 
Oh dannata diga
tu, artefatto impassibile
arcata che doppia ti curvi
troneggi, perfetta
tiara che adorna 
l’arroganza umana.
Tu, tragica Niobe
immobile, a leccare il tuo lago 
il tuo utero di cemento.
Tu, opera d’arte.'

Beneath a motionless horizon, each shadow leaves its silent mark in the air. Silent forms float between faint pulses of light, bending to the gravity of forgotten tides. Here, stillness carries the weight of a soundless language, and time only moves when you close your eyes.

J'air repris ici dans une toute nouvelle version un de mes premiers morceaux créés au moment où je m'étais acheté, il y a maintenant déjà quelques années, mon piano numérique (Roland FP30) qui m'enchantait à lui tout seul par ses sonorités nouvelles pour moi. Il perd malheureusement beaucoup ici de sa sonorité, car je ne peux le brancher à ma carte audio que par sa sortie casque. De cette première version et de son arrangement d'époque j'ai cependant conservé ici  la partie centrale. J'espère que vous apprécierez son ambiance très rêveuse
