Story behind the song
While working on our 2nd album "The Alchemist" we met this book, that is telling a different story with the same title. This is our small tribute to a great writer and a great book. The song came out at 1st try, wrote down by our good Duilio in the shape of a Bossa Nova, and played at the tenor and soprano saxophones by Roberto. No effects, no re-mixing, no sampling, no programming: everything you hear in this song, every passage, every time change, was played live and you hear the recording of the 1st try of every instrument line. Just to show we do play electronica by choice, and not cause we have not other skills... Hope you may like it, even if it's very different than our usual musical gender!
