Track listing
edit- Go with the flow – 3:35 – 'Emotion must be left to flow: let your existence manifest itself free from obstacles, for nothing belongs to us and all is given.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Ciprea – 2:57 – 'The neat drawing and the radiant surface of this shell, recall to mind the African rhythms that inspired this extended melody.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Come sei veramente – 6:07 – 'Whoever is in love has the gift of seeing the other in all their depth, of discovering the intimate beauty even when it is obscured by daily life.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Prendimi – 2:49 – 'Running after each other until suddenly meeting: and then again, fleeing once more.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Ti scrivo – 2:45 – 'A letter written with pen and paper in the email era... takes lots of courage. Promise me you will write a real letter.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Regina dei cristalli – 2:07 – 'The pride of the Renaissance returns upon my fingers: in Music, History is a game where anything can be up to date.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Ossessione – 2:34 – 'A thousand doors open, the mind seeks thousands of solutions, but there is no way out from the obsession of a face, a memory.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Sospeso nel tempo – 1:17 – 'A tear on the garment of time is where fresh thoughts lay.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Le tue mani – 2:30 – 'Of infinite shapes and sensual dances are hands capable, thus revealing intentions and desires that cannot be avowed.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Qui danza – 2:28 – '"Here’s the rose, here it dances" (Hegel): in order not to lose itself amidst the clouds of conceptuality the absolute must descend unto daily life, revealing all its splendour in the simplicity of a rose. Dance then, celebrating the smallest things as mirrors of the infinite.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Notte ad Harlem – 5:08 – 'They say that from 125th St. onwards, at night-time one should be afraid, that's why glances veer between fear and curiosity. But the other is a fellow man like me; perhaps it is me that scares him.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Pensieri nascosti – 2:29 – 'Glances speaking of hidden thoughts.' – Giovanni Allevi
- Breath – 8:40 – 'I let my body receive the vibrations from the piano's single notes, from the lowest depths up to the head. I listen in total silence, in the dark, with the volume turned up loud. For ten minutes I am outside of this world.' – Giovanni Allevi.
