This piece is inspired by the contrast between desolation and memory, between what is no longer present and what can still be imagined. Drawing from Francesco Guccini's song "Il vecchio e il bambino", the composition unfolds as a sonic landscape suspended between past and present, reality and imagination.
At first, the music evokes a wounded and desolate land: a bare plain marked by smoke and silence, almost devoid of life. Gradually, memory emerges, guided by the old man's invitation to the child to imagine what once was - fields of wheat, fruits and flowers, voices and colors. Through acoustic gestures and live electronics, fragments of these images take shape: rain, trees, and the slow rhythm of the seasons, suggesting a fragile yet persistent hope.
