Mr. Nuvola knew a lot of people, shady people, which lived on the top of a mountain. They started a live tour around that mountain, from which they lost themselves, for ever.

Trees of Mint è un progetto musicale di Francesco Serra (Cagliari, 1980). La sua ricerca si focalizza sull’individuazione di pratiche performative volte a estendere le qualità timbriche della chitarra elettrica ed enfatizzare il potenziale evocativo del suono. Nei tre album pubblicati (Micro Meadow, Here I Stay, 2008; Trees of Mint, Trovarobato Parade, 2012; NW, Trovarobato, 2019) ha decostruito progressivamente la forma canzone attraverso la sperimentazione sonora. Si è esibito in diversi paesi europei condividendo spesso il palco con musicisti del panorama rock internazionale tra cui Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) e curato diverse sonorizzazioni per Home Movies - Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia, con cui collabora dal 2010.
