Once again, Lino surprises us. Long known as a poet of silence and purely acoustic sounds, he now presents an album where synthetic textures take center stage. And yet, since his early collaborations with Franco Battiato, the VCS3 has been part of both Lino’s and Franco’s musical language.
As often happens in his work, the new and the old exist in sympathetic harmony — and this album is the ultimate proof of that. What makes it truly remarkable is that it doesn’t matter whether Lino is at the piano, his beloved vibraphone, or his ancient gongs — his voice is instantly recognizable.
There’s something fleeting, yet enduring in his musical language — something that makes Lino Capra Vaccina’s art uniquely capable of tapping into deep, ancestral harmonies: timeless, placeless echoes of memory.
