Label: Unseen Worlds

不思議な魅力を放つ内省的ポピュラー&実験録音集!!フランスの重鎮作曲家エリアン・ラディーグの長年のコラボレーターであり、当店では過去にラディーグ及びオリヴェロスの楽曲を演奏したヴァイオリン&ボイスのソロアルバム[Virgin Violin]を紹介した即興演奏家/コンポーザーのSilvia Tarozzi。本作[Lucciole]は声、記憶、音楽の系譜を融合させ、前衛的作曲からパーソナルな物語までが自由に混じり合うアルバムとして提示。金管アンサンブル、祝祭的楽曲、跳ねる様なリズムのエレクトロアコースティックに加え、なんとミルトン・ナシメントのカバーまでやっています。









Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi’s luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely.

The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble—chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound—and closes with the Piccolo Coro Angelico, the children’s choir she has worked with for over fifteen years and calls “my best school of composition and a constant gym of hope.” Between these bookends, Tarozzi’s songs trace life’s transitions with a rare tenderness: childhood into adolescence, health into fragility, presence into absence.

Two central songs—her own “Lucciole” and a glowing live-in-studio cover of Milton Nascimento’s “River Phoenix”—honor a beloved friend whose life and presence evoke new horizons. “Corallo e perle,” inspired by a dream her grandfather had after her grandmother’s passing, becomes a gentle, dreamlike meditation on the persistence of love.

The strings, voices, and melodic contours that define Mi specchio e rifletto reappear here with new warmth and depth. Produced by Tarozzi in close collaboration with Marta Salogni, who engineered and mixed the album, Lucciole carries a clarity, intimacy, and sonic generosity that reflect their shared journey through the recording process.

At its heart, Lucciole is an album about small lights carried through moments of transition—an invitation to listen closely to the places where life changes, and to the people, living and remembered, who illuminate the way.
