Liner Notes

Blue Bird was born from a Puglian winter, from the blue reflections of the sky on trullo stone and from the silence of the Itria Valley. It is not an album about place, but about how place deposits itself inside music.

Each piece is a fragment of memory — rain on a country road, the hum of an espresso at the counter, a train pulling away. The piano holds the structure, the voice adds vulnerability, and between the two arises a blues that needs no words.

Recorded between a studio in Conversano and a room in Milan, Blue Bird is the sound of a journey that doesn't end — between classical and jazz, between Puglia and the world, between notes and silence.

Behind the Track

As shared in a recent Sound Contest interview: "In this work I simply wanted to photograph a compositional period... The reason in 'Blue Bird' is very clear: no composition deserves to be suffocated precisely because it is a direct expression of what we are living at the moment or what we think we are living."
