All tracks have been recorded, edited and mixed in the Dissòi Lògoi studio by Franco Parravicini and Alberto Morelli, in an erratic way and with very mediterranean timings, between 2000 and 2011
Authors who inspired us for the titles are Kurt Vonnegut – Madre Notte (original title: Mother Night), Gao Xingjian – La Montagna dell’Anima (original title: Lingshan), Shaun Tan-L’Approdo (original title: The Arrival), Massimo Bavastro – 25 apocalissi, S. Giovanni – Apocalisse, Omero – Odissea
