The dark, destructive side of spending a lot of time in the virtual world where people with bad intentions are targeting the more sensitive people of our society is being translated into sound on ‘Lost Generation.’ Staccato notes on violin and upright bass, playing a repetitive series of intervals, are joined by bass clarinet and alto-saxophone throughout this exciting piece.

What we show is not who we are. In order to meet social expectations, we are wearing masks and hiding our true self. On ‘Mere Appearance & True Being’ we do hear the voice of Claire Parsons, who also guested on ‘Il Labrinto dei Topi.’ After the thrilling mid section, the piece concludes with Parsons’ ‘suffering’ vocals and electronics, illustrated by Sonya Belaya on piano.

Follia is a beautiful twelve-tone chamber music composition where cello, piano, acoustic guitar and woodwinds are interplaying brilliantly.

Things turn more intense again in the masterful title track, starting with an energetic 11/8, flowing into a more calm section with interesting vocal lines which are very well merging with the various string- and woodwind instruments. The piece is inspired by the writer William H. McNeill’s book and concept of ‘The Human Web.’ Remigi created “a web-shaped graphic score that visually represent the set of virtual connections that link people to one another around the globe.” It reflects the more positive side of connecting possibilities the world wide web is offering.

The evocative ‘Inside the Algorithm’ was “created by using the Google Page Rank algorithm as a musical cryptogram from which extrapolating a series of pitches and rhythmic sequences.”

Some sections are bloodcurdling and there is so much going on here, pushing the (adventurous) listener to different places effortlessly.

The album concludes with the intimate ‘Home Body:’ a solo violin piece, performed by Anais Drago, reflecting on the natural beauty of women, self-love and body acceptance, empowering response to the pressuring way how society expects women to look, dress and act in a certain way, especially on social media, where images are shared quickly and widely all the time.
