Dreadful Wind And Rain

This is the first part of a musical interpretation of G. B. Piranesi's 'Carceri d'invenzione'. It wants to help the listener to go round the prisons, introducing elements that could be found in the etchings themselves and reflecting the dark and terrible atmosphere of this imaginary place.

This part is called L'entrata ('The Entrance' & 'The Entry'). It depicts four etchings, whose order is:
- Frontespizio 2º stato.
- Capriccio di scale e arcate con fumo bianco.
- Capriccio con arcate e piazza monumentale.
- Capriccio con tortura di un condannato.

I highly recommend to listen this part 1 for the first time observing the etchings. Comments will make the transition more clear.

The track was build upon synth parts and samples, sequenced and edited.

Two more parts are yet to be produced, approaching Piranesi's work through other musical perspectives.

Parte 2 - Il lavoro (Part two: Hard Labor), will be a dark ambient techno track.

Parte 3 - Il soggiorno eterno (Part three: The Neverending Stay), will be an abstract composition.

Carceri 1 - L'entrata

This is the second part of my interpretation of Piranesi's Carceri d'invenzione.

The first track, an ambient composition, pretended to be much more concrete. Here, inspiration tooks its place but I did not want to capture anything else than the spirit of the different works. Techno is, at the end, way more abstract than ambient.

The progression is, as always, expressed by comments.

I hope you like it.
