Album info:

The composition is based on guitar improvisation,

later arranged for strings and occasional percussion instruments such as celesta or vibraphone.

The pieces are inspired by my bicycle rides through the fields during the Cremonese summer.

I love and have always loved the countryside surrounding the town (called a city) that is Cremona.

Riverbanks, fields, wheat and plants, rivers and dirt roads, seagulls, herons, magpies, and crows,

form the background to this album, which is intended as my personal tribute to the Cremonese countryside.
