about

Insipired by the medieval mystical book 'Itinerarium mentis in Deum' ('The Journey of the mind into God') written by St. Bonaventure, a trip from the material reality to the universal consciousness:

1) Extra nos (outside ourselves): when you listen and acknowledge the beauty of Nature.
(at the beginning and at the end of the track there are samples taken from a little mountain town in Italy.)

2) Intra nos ( inside ourselves): when you go deep into your inner contraddictions and realize that you are part of everything.
(at the beginning there is chaos, at the end peace of mind, accompanied by a jazz improvisation and a musical quote from a french baroque piece 'Les Barricades Mysterieuses' by Couperin.)

3) Super nos (above ourselves): when you realize the true nature of existence.
(Again, the sound of nature at the beginning and a baroque-ish harpsichord improvvisation at the end, concluding the album with a perfect and authentic cadence V-I.)

“Since happiness is nothing else than the enjoyment of the Supreme Good, and the Supreme Good is above us, no one can enjoy happiness unless he rises above himself.”

Music composed and produced by Eugenio Fontanini (a.k.a. Sehnsucht)
