The point where the moon appears naked

A small journey that does not pretend to go far, but rather to go deep. With music by Fabrizio De André.

The point where the Moon appears naked is a concrete dream, a small journey that does not pretend to go far, but rather to go deep, exploring simple but rich worlds, often made of ignorance, poverty, subterfuge, squalor and the whole vast range of ephemeral beauties that identify with the very concept of humanity.

Hence the natural choice of drawing mainly from the album Crêuza de mä, so rich in realities, multiple realities, that are a paradigm of what the world is, or rather of what man is in the world.

A totally free album, also in its expressive forms and language (the perfect mimicry achieved with the elegance of the Genoese dialect, brilliantly combined with the concreteness of a much more vulgar reality than it would like to appear) which allows us a musical attempt, certainly audacious and not without dangers, in which the extraordinary search for sounds and flavors undertaken by Faber and Pagani continues and evolves further, despite the irrevocable rigor necessary to never stray too far from the roles that rhythmic and melodic components play within the songs.

And on these and other extraordinary songs, in addition to guitar, keyboard, percussion and bass, the idea emerges of using the musicians' voices as additional instruments, so as to obtain a very particular dreamlike effect; all framed by projections of visuals created by true graphic artists, in order to obtain powerful suggestions.
