Release Date: July 7th 2023

Format: CD + Digital

Press Release:

'“Letters from Nowhere” is the third and final release in Stefano Guzzetti’s Piano Book series where its sonic palette, during the time span of a decade, changed progressively. Starting from “At home”, the first volume where the protagonist was just the acoustic and minimal expressiveness of the instrument, passing through “Short stories”, where subtle electronics were added to the resonance of the notes, and arriving to this final album, where the piano plays along with a range of selected old hardware synthesizers.

“Letters from Nowhere” is a correspondence from imaginary places and states of mind, where the composer took his time to describe the intensity of one moment, the vastness of despair, but also the joy of reuniting again with the people and places we love. This work is also a love letter to Japan, with tracks like “Shoji” and “Tokyo at night” describing the beauty of places and settings that, even if strongly contrasting in their nature, never fail to catch the heart of the composer.

“At home” was released with the 051 catalogue number, with “Short stories” following as 105. We conclude with this last album as release 150 in the Home Normal catalogue. Whether by accident or design, this third release in the series is the best way to close this body of work started in 2014 on Home Normal.'
