Notes
VOX BALAENAE The musical project: The spells generated from the Sea are really multiple: the scents of the waves, the colours of the sea bottom, the rainbows created by the waves, the voices of the marine animals and so on. The miracles of nature have always fascinated man: poets, writers, painters, sculptors have all tried, in their own arts, to recall and reproduce the majesty of the sea. Yet the musician has always made more than the other artists: through the ethereal language of music he has often tried to ravish and imitate the voice of the sea. Games of sounds, cries and voices have been reproduced in an evocative musical journey entitled Vox Balaenae: the listener is driven into a surreal and suggestive world in which all kinds of musical expressions are melted in a unique performance following a complex process of interaction. Vox Balaenae opens a new frontier in the world of contemporary art, breaking with the traditional representative patterns: a journey in which acoustic and electronic vibrations are melted and impressed on the disc to be infinitely reproduced for people living thousands of kilometers far from the charming places of the Sorrentine Coastline, the very place where live recordings have been made in suggestive grottos and gorges. In the Vox Balaenae universe listening, feeling and meditating change into a symphony of the senses where innovation and creativity are interwoven in a continuous dialogue among modern concepts, knowledge and techniques. In other words there is the transposition of the traditional live concert into a "sensorial disc". Vox Balaenae, a project wholly planned and cured by Alessandro Crosta and Nadia Testa, borrows it's title from the homonymous aquatic and evocative work composed in 1971 by George Crumb, an American composer now considered one of the best representatives of the musique d'avanguard. Inspired to a recording of the voices of whales, the first track imitates and transfigures the sounds of nature, which are musically ri-elaborated. The American composer, still living, has wisely reproduced the voice of the whale and all the sounds of the sea and it's creatures (such as dolphins, gulls and so on) by using classical instruments (such as the piano, the flute, the cello and the crotales) in an experimental way thanks to it's innovative techniques of amplification and technical exploration. Among the following tracks there are Vermont Counterpoint by S. Reich, and some reproductions of marine sounds lively recorded by Alessandro Crosta ad Nadia Testa. The musical journey starts from contemporary music to go back to the beginning of the XXth century with Debussy, whose music is proposed in a modernized polyphonic version: "The future as a mirror of the past". Tracks are preceded by the listening of natural samples recorded on the sea of Sorrento (natural set of the disc) which, insinuating in each gorge, succeeds in emanating voices of an uncontaminated nature, unique in the world. The Artists: Alessandro Crosta, Flutist Alessandro Crosta, polyflutist and composer, is a young Italian versatile and innovative musician. His repertoire goes from the traditional literature for flute to the contemporary music as well as the electronic one. In his performances he exhibits in a vast range of roles: he has played as a soloist flute with a lot of European Orchestras (Orchestra dei Professori del Teatro S. Carlo - Napoli, Orchestra Arcenciel - Zurich, Minsk Orchestra - Belarus, Plovdiv Orchestra - Bulgaria, Orchestra Craiova - Romania), he has toured with the Italian pianist Nadia Testa as well as with the Belgian "Le Vraie Note Trio", and he has worked with several composers like Roland Moser (Switzerland), Wolfgang Rhim (Germany) and Arnoldo Antunas (Brazil). He has been on concert tours to Italy, the USA, Israel, Spain, France, Egypt, Jordan, Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa, Brazil, Morocco, Malta, Tunisia, Bahamas, Greece, Turkey, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Portuga

    An amazing experience with this seller. My Item arrived early, which is rare, and was very well packaged for it's trip through the mail. The price was perfect. The item I received was in the exact condition as stated in the listing. Maybe best of all was that the seller was very communicative when I had questions about the item. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again in the future!

    Item was as advertised & arrived well packaged. As many other reviewers stated, it took a week to get tracking information, then 6 more days before the shipping company (DHL, in this case) received the item, and then just one day to be delivered. The listing estimated delivery between 3-8 days; it took 14. No correspondence in the meantime. I'd checked the seller's feedback before ordering, however, so I expected it. If you can wait a couple weeks to receive your order, this seller is fine.
