To float in the mind of a dream, on the thin line that separates the rational from the unconscious, lost in a sound, taste it, understand it and do it right, in a stream of musical consciousness dictated by a need almost therapeutic: these are the guidelines work of the new Star Pillow, which shifts the horizon of their experimentation one step further, once again on the prestigious catalog of Setola di Maiale, italian cult label for experimentation and improvisation. The time dilate, the instinct is left free to roam, to follow unusual routes, to get lost in the sound and in the time of a note or a noise, and then become dissonance and disturb the quiet calm created. We perceive the work of the musician, the careful work of selection and interaction between the two souls of the project, the tacit understanding and a common intention to move out of areas which are not discounted to ask one another, and each to himself , questions that have not, do not want answers, so as to maintain their radiant beauty. You must be able to find your way to lose, this is the only common thread with which to address the new work of the Star Pillow.
