Sùn Ná, whose title in Yoruba language means “sleep now” and, due to a surprising assonance, the same words, united in one, in the author’s Campania dialect, mean “dream” – is a work that crosses the music experimenting new balances starting from the rich instrumental and vocal harvest where the search for new sound combinations makes the border between traditional instruments and the electronic body suspended and blurred.
Sùn Ná is characterized by the incessant linguistic cross-over: cultured, ethnic, popular music, improvisation and much more.
A prism that enriches the sound texture with multiple resonances and for a new and interesting relationship between the elements in the foreground and the background.
Max Fuschetto transforms usual forms such as those of the song into liquid experiences that are deconstructed to leave the unconscious free to proceed.
The poetic themes are those of the dream, of the return to the mythical places of childhood, of love, of the sea understood as a condominium of casbe where the voices of diversity
(it is sung in French, in English, in Arbereshe ) they chase each other intoning a mantra, measured by the breath – which measures the music.
