December 5, 2022

Potremmo farci guidare dalle stimolanti note di copertina che evocano simbolismi, sogni, correnti di pensiero tirando in ballo John Cage, Marcel Duchamp e André Breton, in un viaggio surrealista dove immagini (meravigliosi gli acquerelli di Linda Okazaki), versi dal poema di Sun Ra “The Far Off Place" e procedimenti compositivi interagiscono in maniera stimolante.
