"Restive is about patterns of thought: the flow of words and the stream of consciousness within our minds. There is an underlying expression of a certain amount of turmoil, but also that of optimism as we juggle between concerns, variables and positive outcomes."

Julia Gjertsen - Restive

Forest Lights

From the album "Ver Sacrum"
“Throughout history, this expression has been used to describe various ritual group expulsions and the deduction of colonies, particularly with regard to people getting back to nature.
For example, the Italian town of Nocera was founded in the 7th Century BC by inhabitants from Camerinum, who left their ancestral homeland during a so-called Ver Sacrum.
In ancient Rome, during times of calamities such as pandemics, earthquakes, wars, or plagues, they used to devote children born in spring – from the 1st of March to the 30th of April – to the gods Jupiter and Mars. Then, when they turned 20 or 21, these children were required to leave the community to begin new settlements”
________________________________________
Sounding like some long lost, sacred canon, Ver Sacrum – the new album from Bruno Sanfilippo – marks something of a departure for the Barcelona-based pianist and composer. Far more orchestral in nature, there’s a spiritual, quasi-religious force to these pieces; strings swoop and soar, maudlin organs plough slowly, sorrowfully forward, while several sopranos add to the ecclesiastical air. But there’s hope and joy here too, and a childlike playfulness – playing these tensions against each other is what makes Ver Sacrum such an intense, rewarding listen. Inspired and informed by the ancient custom of ritualised expulsions of the same name, one can find the whole spectrum of humanity within these nine pieces: sorrow, loss, love, rebirth, change, hope, and the indefatigable human spirit. It’s what gives this music its power. Derek Robertson, journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.

Cambria was originally written while being rained in, in a beautiful little cabin on the California coast overlooking the Cambria shoreline and finally recorded in my parents living room on their 1917 Feurich upright while visiting them during the winter of 2019. 
It's the first piece in a series of four pieces, all recorded during that visit.

Cambria

...buckle up and hit the open road, taking in vast fields evoked by slowly evolving open harmonies. Hit the accelerator and the mountains appear suddenly in the distance, their stunning presence captured by a driving beat, a riveting piano melody and sequenced synths...
