about

Isola mente was created during the pandemic period, when everyone was feeling more and more isolated from the external world. It was a very self-reflexive period for me as well, so while being in the first self-isolation, I decided to compose a piece for marimba solo. The project turned out to last a bit longer than one self-isolation :) taking me on a journey through composition, recording and producing all that stands before you today. All except the beautiful cover, for which I thank Antonio!
Isola mente combines minimalism with techniques used in marimba repertoire I've studied and played through the years. The piece starts off with a motif of four notes which is repeated and transformed throughout the piece, and represents one's own mind ruminating on a thought, on an idea. It creates various parts of the composition, just as an idea creates its own worlds. Isola mente, an isolated mind, is like a rhapsody - made of more parts that slowly build tension, reaching its peak right before a coral, representing the moment of realization that 
one has to let go. The piece is concluded in a meditative tone, with a final repetitive, mantric section. A thought released.
