La musica della neve

The «Small philosophy of travel» series turns 10 and Ediciclo decides to celebrate the anniversary by republishing the first Italian book of the series with a new cover and a musical surprise inside: by reading the QR code that you will find in the book, you can download the CD of the show inspired by the book for free. "During the writing of this book, I commissioned the pianist Giuseppe Olivini to study sounds to create a narrative performance set to music. While I was composing the book, Olivini read the drafts and studied the sounds to pair with the text. The book was published in November 2011 and the performance was staged at the same time, until 2012: the last date, staged in Codroipo (Ud) in 2012, was recorded and published on CD. Now it is possible to listen to it by downloading it from the book. A circle that closes. " Davide Sapienza Everyone knows what snow is but how many have thought, with gray matter, about white matter? Davide Sapienza, a writer linked to the themes of nature, tells of a special relationship: the one with the snow, with its dance, its music, its message, its mystery, its way of being elusive and at the same time so present. And he does it with these small literary variations that take inspiration from the long time he has spent and is spending on the snow, with the snow, in the snow, changing with it. The music of the snow starts from experiences in the snow and ice from the Alps to the Arctic, uses the places of its crossings and dialogues with the white matter, the most important producer of silence, to find its own internal place. It is a story of transformation and metamorphosis, in which man reflects and rediscovers himself. Small variations, on mysterious and magnificent music.
