I composed Dante-Reset during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the spring of 2021. I selected some verses from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, to celebrate the 700 anniversary of his death. The Italian violinist Emy Bernecoli performed the vocals. All the samples then are generated from the electronic elaboration of her voice.

The composition was born out of the disillusion that a new and better society would be born.

Dante-Reset nasce nella primavera del 2021, mentre l’epidemia di COVID-19 devastava il mondo e l’Italia. Ho utilizzato alcuni versi tratti dalla Divina Commedia di Dante Alighieri, in occasione delle celebrazioni del 700 anno dalla sua morte. La violinista italiana Emy Bernecoli ha recitato i versi, tutti i suoni si basano sull’elaborazione elettronica dei campioni vocali.

Il pezzo nasce dalla disillusione sulla nascita di una nuova e migliore società.

Electronic track. No samples. No loops. All sounds made by my synthz, mostly by themselves. Some random, some stochastic, some generative ideas. 98% perspiration. 2% (or less) inspiration.

Ghosts and Lizards - ringtone & preview by Elia Andrea Corazza (Elijax)

With Coalescence I wanted to avoid loops and repetitions. I envisioned a continuous variation, without any theme or a specific rhythm. This approach gave birth to similar pieces, but of different duration and contents, which I included in a unique project. The numerical part of the titles reports the duration in seconds, and this unitary project could be listened to as a single, or as a concept album.

I wanted to allow for a double listening mode: focused, as a pure listening experience, or distracted, as ambient music. All the pieces have a common timbre, which is relaxed and dreamy.

I thought of Coalescence as a fitting title, since it represents all the sound objects I used that gradually attract each other, as atoms in the interstellar space, to give life to new stars. In all the randomness involved in this process, the human mind tries to find patterns of repetitions, which, however, are not present in the composition as designed.

You are welcome to listen to Coalescence as you prefer: randomly, following the recording order, or here and there… or nothing at all.

I hope this music will be source of inspiration, relax, deep concentration and detailed vision.

Thank you for listening to my music, I wish you all the best for all your endeavors, yours,

Elia (aka Elijax)
