I'm fascinated by TV shows like Mountain Men, The Last Alaskans, Alaska the Last Frontier a.o.
They are masters of independence and living offgrid and off the land. 
This album is dedicated to the men who make their living off the land - hunting, fishing and trapping to put food on the table. 
For Mountain Men, survival is predicated on using ancient skills perfected over hundreds of years.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that’s where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it’s like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution. Helge Tømmervåg produces sweeping, icy synthscapes, with digital snowflakes since 1995.

"Esaminazioni Cosmiche" was written and composed between January and February 2021 during a period of introspection, about the world I lived in (and still live in) all through an external, cosmic gaze.
This album is dedicated to the Italian ambient minimalist movement of the seventies and eighties..

The album represents that everything outside of ourselves has a distinctive formation: from the wondrously colorful and maximally varied light waves of the Aurora Borealis to the singularly blue-hued limpid depth of Crater Lake, inside the caldera of Mount Mazama, the deepest lake in America. This deeply personal observation led my musical intuition to create the ten diverse songs in Formations.

Taken from the album "Retrograde Amnesia" by Xu & Oberlin, released on Slow Tone Collages:


The record delves into the haunting history of the former psychiatric hospital in Colorno (Parma – Italy, in use from 1873 to 1978). Titled "Retrograde Amnesia”, it explores the lives of patients who were once confined to the institution, many of whom were forgotten by society. 
The hospital, which is now abandoned, was once home to over a thousand patients, including those who were deemed "dangerous" or "marginalized" by society. Among them were prostitutes, alcoholics, vagabonds, and even small children. The psychiatrists who worked at the institution were free to experiment with new treatments, including practices such as electroshock and frontal lobotomy. While these doctors saw themselves as innovators and experimenters, many of the patients were no longer considered people. One of the devastating consequences of the treatments administered at the hospital was retrograde amnesia, which is the loss of memories of past events. Many patients who underwent these treatments were left with gaps in their memory, unable to recall important moments of their lives, as their identities were fragmented and their shared human experiences obliterated. Forgotten by society and stripped of their own sense of self, they were consigned to the shadows of history. 
"Retrograde Amnesia" is a haunting and emotional record that aims to shed light on the lives of these forgotten patients. Through the use of ambient soundscapes and atmospheric textures, the music captures the sense of isolation and despair that many of the patients must have felt. Enveloped in the echoes of empty corridors and abandoned rooms, one easily feels consumed by the weight of the lives that once occupied these desolate spaces.

Tiziano Roversi: piano
Alfredo De Pietra: synths

Some weeks ago I listened to this classic by Erik Satie, played on piano by a my colleague, Dr. Tiziano Roversi. So, I downloaded his piano track and added the rest.
All the sounds are from the Boss GM-800 guitar synthesizer, driven by a Roland J6 mini keyboard. There are three pads, one flute and one cymbal.
Thanks to Tiziano for allowing me to jump on!
