Storia Notturna is the new album by our own
Luca Giovanardi. Inspired by the 1989 book by the same name by historian
Carlo Ginzburg - a seminal study about witchcraft, pre-christian cults and magic - the album is an "italian tale of psycho-magic in music", as a friend described it. Ranging from acoustic string instruments and percussions to electronic soundscapes, Luca played and produced the music himself, with very few interventions by others: Matilde Bondioli (soprano voice), James Watts (throat singing), plus some stolen field recordings of friends and family members. It's released by
Backwards Records and it's available digitally today on Bandcamp only, with the possibility to pre-order the physical LP version.
