"The instrumental cover of “The Stolen Bride” is transcendental and arcane [...] and nestles itself within a magical record of dungeon synth"

THE HERMIT'S HOLE EXPLAINED & MAKING OF

The inspiration for this album came last year, while hiking in the woods I casually discovered a small grotto, just a couple of kilometers from my countryside house.
That cave is named "The Hermit's Hole" after a well known monk from the Late Middle Ages chose it as his dwelling, in search of solitude and isolationism. He used to wander dressed in a worn cloak, holding a human skull in his hand (!!!).
Since then, no one knows if others have inhabitated that little hole in the Tuscan woods.

The hermit's figure that stands at the center of this concept is fashinating, controversial and balanced between religion and heresy, yet exalting Solitude to the highest spiritual level.

"Build me a giant horse" is dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci.

The making of this album has been absolutely instinctive and most based on live-recorded improvisations, still with some structured. melodic inserts to let listeners take a little breath from deep meditation and from contemplating Nature.
