about

An ambient cathedral where harpsichord talks with electroacoustic textures and a masterpiece of baroque literature, 1635 Pedro Calderon de la Barca's Life Is Dream.

"What is life? A madness, an illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams."

"Voluta is the third solo album by Francesco Maria Narcisi which proposes a suggestive work that combines the modern sounds of the ambient with baroque music, where the notes of the harpsichord mix with electro-acoustic patterns and textures, transporting the listener to a gothic cathedral. Sound architectures that I loved from the first moment and I consider it his masterpiece so far." Francis M. Gri

"Cos’è la vita? Un’illusione, un’ombra, una finzione, una storia e il bene maggiore non è che un’inezia: perché tutta la vita non è altro che un sogno, e i sogni, non sono altro che sogni."
