Featuring Luca Aquino and Giovanni Francesca



Jan Bang, an extraordinary, unique, and innovative musician, has gifted us his time and words, which best express what we have tried to communicate through sounds: 




This is music for quiet moments

never strenuous

never even trying to impress the listener.

Instead using silence as a weapon

to conquer whoever is willing to listen.





La Dormiente



The album title, La Dormiente, is named after the Taburno-Camposauro massif. The profile of the peaks, which has accompanied Luca, Giovanni, and me, as well all the inhabitants of Sannio, indeed appears like a reclining woman who seems to be sleeping. This image spontaneously connects to the ancestral myth of Mother Earth, while simultaneously reminding us of the mountain’s strength, which comes from calm and peace. A strength that doesn’t need to be exerted or displayed, as it is inherent in its very presence. I hope that the music on this record can convey, even in a small part, this sense of quiet resulting from energy and determination, as well as a sense of mystery and fascination for what the night hides in the woods — sensations that the landscape of La Dormiente has always communicated to me.





Through the collaboration with Luca Aquino and Giovanni Francesca, musicians with extraordinary sensitivity and a natural ability to listen, interpret, and transform material, the idea that initially existed only in my mind finally took shape and substance.
