Included a booklet with the story (ITA/ENG) of Svanire.

Svanire, the Italian word for "vanishing," is a 44-minute piano and electric piano suite, divided into four tracks that guide the listener through an intimate and reflective sonic journey. The work is minimal and skeletal in its essence, built around eloquent silences and fragile, almost suspended notes that evoke the melancholic hues of autumn. Each note seems to dissolve into the air, like leaves in the wind, creating an atmosphere of rarefied beauty.
The strength of this piece lies precisely in its simplicity, which never feels trivial thanks to the meticulous production by Andrew Chalk. With his unique and hypnotic touch, Andrew has brought to life a sound that amplifies and enhances the delicate nature of the compositions, enriching them with emotional depth. Every sonic detail is carefully crafted, creating a balance between emptiness and fullness, between sound and silence, making the listening experience unique and immersive.
Accompanying the music is a short story, a narrative that intertwines with the notes, creating a subtle dialogue between words and sound. The artwork, generously provided by Andrew Chalk, is not just a visual frame but a perfect representation of the atmosphere evoked by the album: an image that, like the music, seems to dissolve and vanish, capturing the fleeting nature of the moment. The choice of colors and visual forms engages with the sonic tones, further enriching the overall sensory experience.
A special thanks goes to Daisuke Suzuki, who contributed the Kanji translation of the word Svanire, adding another layer of cultural and symbolic meaning to this work. The Kanji translation is not just a linguistic transposition but a bridge between cultures, reflecting the universality of the theme of vanishing and impermanence.
