ást| TRS057
“ást” is everyday life and smiles, cries, fights at night. “ást” is our hearts beating, “ást” is the very life we breathe.
ást means love.
When I listen to “ást” it’s as though I see myself through a mirror…like seeing a shy sunrise early in the morning, or hearing raindrops on the window pane, and smelling the night while smoking a last cigarette outside before sleep…just as you cease to feel worried about your future.
I composed and recorded the album between October and December 2017, and I remember I used to feel quite serene during the recording sessions; maybe it was the first time in my life as a musician (composer and folksinger as well) in which I felt really felt that way while composing an album…very different from what I’ve done with music up to 2017. As I wrote this album I felt relaxed, with an overall inner peace in my heart…even though I was living (and still I am) through a period of very great change.” (L Bracaloni)
