"La Notte" by Flavio Zanuttini is a work that refers to the relationship between the primordial sensoriality and vision of the Underworld. It's the announcement of the viking night, the twilight of men and gods that serves as a prelude to Ragnarok. It's the lonely voyage of the defeated hero that sings the epic deeds of a impossible dialectic between human and superhuman.
In a certain sense the solipsistic journey of Odysseus/Flavio is that of the centripetal acoustic involution that addresses the intimate of a psichic geography. A backwards journey that begins from Pillars of Hercules. This is evident and blatant in the contrast between darkness and light for example in the relationship between track 1, where a sound daemon recalls the experiments by Phil Minton, and track 4 by the name "Cantabile".
A CD that evokes disconcerting atmospheres and that marks the milestone of a instrumental and project related maturity in the friulian player. In "Scelsi", Zanuttini gives back the vibration of the note to the kingdom of Ogdoade, to the reality that doesn't "become", to the logical state of things that is what music should be before it becomes Muse. I would define this work as "Prolegomena for an initiatory listening".-Francesco Cusa (translated by Filippo Ieraci)
