Dopo Musiche Invisibili (2022), con MUSTRAS continua il mio personale tributo a Italo Calvino, autore che ci ricorda quanto sia fondametale il ruolo di ciascun individuo nella creazione di una rete sociale che resista al peso delle contraddizioni.
Le mustras sono decorazioni soprattutto tessili sarde che raffigurano scene di vita di tutti i giorni. Ecco allora che ogni partitura musicale è una mustra che racconta di nuove suggestioni e visioni, di fili come relazioni e relazioni come fili, di non dualità tra eterno e quotidiano, tra l’anno luce e l’istante, tra il corruttibile e l’incorruttibile, tra la mia scelta e la pace (o la guerra), tra l’io e il tu, individui fusi nel noi ma intatti nella propria unicità.
Se in passato Calvino era (è ancora) l’autore consigliere che ispirava la mia sceneggiatura, ora è divenuto anche lo specchio, il segnale acustico, il vento che mi ricorda quello che è il mio desiderio innato: vivere con la consapevolezza che la musica è “solo” una delle tante manifestazioni di quella condizione essenziale che è l’esseri umani. Uno dei molteplici luoghi eterotopici dove quel vento squote e purifica tutto creando coesistenza armoniosa. Una coesistenza certo non priva di confilitti, che sono però virtuosi nel generare comprensione e inclusione, come ogniqualvolta in Sardegna soffia il Maestrale e io, anche quando mi sveglia in piena notte, mi incammino fuori per sentirne addosso il potere purificante e riapacificante.
Tutto questo è impresso in MUSTRAS, il cui risultato puramente estetico musicale lascio che sia ogni ascoltatore ad accoglierlo a suo modo. Per me è soltanto uno dei punti (di vista) infiniti di un cerchio, anzi, di una delle infinite spirali della vita.
Following the release of “Musiche Invisibili” (2022), “MUSTRAS” continues my personal homage to Italo Calvino, an author who reminds us of the fundamental role each individual plays in forming a social network capable of withstanding the weight of contradictions.
The ‘mustras’ are primarily textile decorations from Sardinia that depict everyday life scenes. Thus, each musical score becomes a ‘mustra’, narrating new inspirations and visions, of threads as relationships and relationships as threads, of no duality between the eternal and the everyday, between light-year and moment, between the corruptible and the incorruptible, between my choice and peace (or war), between the self and the other, individuals merged in the ‘we’ yet intact in their uniqueness.
If in the past Calvino was (and still is) the advisory author who inspired my screenplay, now he has also become the mirror, the acoustic signal, the wind reminding me of my innate desire: to live with the awareness that music is “merely” one of the many manifestations of the essential human condition. One of the multiple heterotopic spaces where that wind shakes and purifies everything, creating a harmonious coexistence. A coexistence, certainly not devoid of conflicts, which, however, are virtuous in generating understanding and inclusion, much like every time the Mistral blows in Sardinia and I, even when it wakes me in the middle of the night, go outside to feel its cleansing and reconciling power.
All this is encapsulated in “MUSTRAS”, whose purely aesthetic musical outcome I leave for each listener to embrace in their own way. For me, it is merely one of the infinite points of view within a circle, indeed, one of the infinite spirals of life.
