a form that preserves and is open to life, does not occur

Mineral #1

An ensemble moving across flows of information, energy and life.

Rare Minerals is an album of urban experiences that explores what surrounds, envelops, inhabits and pulses life far from the “infinite depths, the depths where man is man no longer, where sounds waves, ether waves, rhythmic vibrations pulsate, shaping mountains, winds, marine currents, the animal and vegetable worlds” ('The Life and Work of Giacinto Scelsi' by Robin Freeman) over the subtle touch of millions of light years and music.

The hope and intention is to find gentle angles that capture those "essentials that are invisible to the eye" (Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), those that leave us raw and defenceless in front of a void and an amplitude far out of our reach, though surprisingly breathing through each of us. We, casually, call it nature

tries to catch the marvel in the hat, the journey of thoughts goes further what surrounds, envelops, inhabits and pulses life far from the “infinite depths, the depths where man is man no longer, where sounds waves, ether waves, rhythmic vibrations pulsate, shaping mountains, winds, marine currents, the animal and vegetable worlds (The Life and Work of Giacinto Scelsi, by Robin Freeman) over the subtle touch of millions of light years and music. Far from a fairytale setup, nature in its distant entropy, in its constant becoming while transiting layers of porosity and abstraction is harsh and often violent, a journey-form, in the end a life form.
