Emanuele de Raymondi e Marco Messina: Saro

von: Manafonistas Filed under: Blog | TB | 3 Comments

 

In tempi recenti ho letteralmente consumato le colonne sonore di ‘The Neon Demon’, ad opera di Cliff Martinez, e ‘Before The Flood’, curata da Trent Reznor e Atticus Ross con la presenza dei Mogwai. Adesso a stupirmi è Emanuele De Raymondi che, assieme a Marco Messina e quasi in contemporanea con l’uscita di ‘Cuori Puri’, ha scritto le musiche per il documentario di Enrico Maria Artale, vincitore al Torino Film Festival. De Raymondi è laureato al Berklee College of Music di Boston e specializzato su tecniche di elaborazione digitale del suono unite a strutture compositive tradizionali mentre Messina è un sound designer e musicista celebre come Kaja Pezz8 nei 99 Posse. Inizialmente mi sono imbattutto in ‘Il Primo Giorno’ e ho subito apprezzato l’originalità della produzione in ambito neo-classic ma quando ho avuto modo di ascoltare l’intero album è stato veramente come intraprendere un ‘Viaggio’ inaspettato. Definire ‘Saro’ è praticamente impossibile perché gli autori spaziano dall’elettronica al drone, da suoni minimal a stacchi melodici di facile presa. Gli arrangiamenti sono impreziositi dal violoncello di Stefano Cabrera e dal violino di Suvi Valjus. Sappiamo che ZeroKilled Music di Costanza Francavilla è una garanzia in termini di release ma in questo caso siamo davvero a livelli spaventosi. ‘Terra Distante’ e ‘Assenza’ contribuiscono ad illuminare la prima facciata del vinile e ‘Attesa’ è forse l’apice dell’intera release.

    STORYLINE OF THE FILM SARO:

    My inner journey in search of the father I never met. A road trip across Sicily, through conversations and landscapes of the soul, that finally leads to the encounter that had been awaited, avoided, rejected, coveted for twenty-five years. My father disappeared from my life when I was one years old. Since then I haven’t heard a lot about him. I refused to know. But now that I’ve found his voice message on my phone, something has changed. I’ve found my way to face this story. I finally decide to talk about this with the people I love, and I begin a long journey through the island where my family comes from, Sicily. I will find his house, I will find the courage to knock at his door. We will have a long talk, and every single moment will be recorded by my camera.

    Written by Enrico Maria Artale

    While listening i can hear the crickets in the back and occasinaly a weird melodyline by a bird i’ve never heard before. It fits together so normally that with each progression of the soundtrack the roadmovie continues. Just closing my eyes and the amazing inner cinema starts in the heat of a mediterrenian noon …
