Antonio Della Marina: Sanje
BySanje originated as part of the multimedia performance "nella notte, al cinema: The Dream," a collaboration with video artist Alessandra Zucchi, presented in July 2021. Della Marina later remixed the original soundscape, adapting it into this stand-alone recording. Yet despite its translation to an audio-only format, the piece retains a compelling sense of three-dimensionality, as if the sound continues to sculpt and reshape the space around the listener.
His sonic palette is built from the fusion of computer-generated sine waves and a modified alto saxophone. By altering both the fingering system and the mouthpiece, Della Marina enables a continuous sound flow, employing techniques akin to circular breathing. The result is a seamless, 36-minute hypnagogic drift that resides somewhere between ambient soundscape and meditative trance.
Sanje is not merely a piece of musicit is an environment, a slowly evolving architecture of tone and resonance that invites deep listening and dissolves the boundary between perception and dream.
