Records: Allegory of Earth and Water by Silvia Cignoli
ROHS! RECORDS, 2024
Classical and electric guitarist, experimental musician, composer, and sound artist, she spans classical to contemporary music, radical improvisation to avant-rock, creating a crossover between her academic background and the underground electronic scene.
“Allegory of Earth and Water” is an allegory of natural elements, vital forms processors, with their changeable existence, their rebirth under a new form, in a perpetual and inexorably evolving loop. Volatile and eternal atmospheres, where earth and water are ideally interchangeable above and below of a hypothetical line of the horizon.
The title refers to a painting by Jan Brueghel the Younger but more generally to the iconography relating to the Allegories, to the utopian crystallization of the idea of the sublime linked to nature and the symbolic, introspective and somehow spiritual function it has on human consciousness .
The work is divided into 4 sections, whose titles also refer to an agogic indication: I. Silente, II. Schiudente, III. Levante, IV. Radiante. As a farewell to this Suite, a postlude, Elegy of Dispersed Energy.
