Poems first

Every song here was a poem first.

They were written to be read, not sung: in the margins of mornings, over the years the practice of first light took hold. Then some of them would not stay on the page. A line kept a tempo. A stanza wanted a chorus. So the poems were given what they were asking for: a key, a pulse, a voice.

Il Respiro del Sole is a book on the Aurelic shelf and an album of the same name: one day told twice, once in ink and once aloud. Read it before the day makes its demands. Listen to it after.

Words by Giuseppe Calcagno. Sung in Italian. Solis, MMXXVI.
