Come un branco di lupi che scende dagli altipiani ululando O uno sciame di api accanite divoratrici di petali odoranti Precipitano roteando come massi da altissimi monti in rovina Come un branco di lupi © 2014 Franco Battiato & Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola "Come un branco di lupi" is a reworking of "L'ignoto," with text taken from "Inneres Auge." |
Like a pack of wolves that descends from the highlands howling, or a swarm of bees, fierce devourers of fragrant petals, they rain down, swwirling like masses from the highest mountains in ruin. English translation © 2020 Dennis Criteser Joe Patti's experimental group was released in 2014. It marks a return of the experimental, electronic-music side of Battiato, in collaboration with sound and mix engineer Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola. Joe Patti was Battiato's maternal uncle, who emigrated to the United States in the 1920s. Six of the eleven tracks are instrumental only. |
Franco Battiato - musician, singer/songwriter, composer of electronic, avant-garde and classical music, filmmaker, painter, student of history and of esoteric and spiritual traditions. Battiato was by turns intellectual, poetic, visceral and meditative; his musical journey and artistic voice are absolutely unique in the landscape of Italian pop music. His career was marked by multiple reinventions as he followed his muse for over fifty years of making music and meaning.
