Antonio Raia + Renato Fiorito ASYLUM

Asylum _ a project by Antonio Raia ( product by Clean Feed Records - July 2018 )

“ I tried to do something like a gift, something that talks about inside and when it comes out does not have any masters. I chose to do it alone but not " by alone " but " alone with ". In my life I learned that good things are done with someone or something, for someone or something and the relationship, the comparison become the way. Ligeti said that a composition is a creative act if from the composer it then moves and multiplies in the lives of the listeners, I love this definition and I try to do it. So it is a work about my songs and the sound’s world that I’ve known ”.
