Eight pieces created by two friends and colleagues who reunite after some time. It all stems from a series of radical improvisations performed in the same environment, improvisations tied to the theme of the necessity to slow down the pace of life, to stay, and to share with others. Recorded on a sunny late summer day, the music quickly takes shape, becoming shortly thereafter the specific soundtrack of the creative moment, immersed in total inspiration amidst warm light, trees, silence, and the vast and enchanting surrounding horizons.
