Cavaglia by Violeta Vicci
“The earth has its music for those who will listen”
Violeta spent her childhood summers in a 19th century cottage in a Swiss alpine valley - Cavaglia, Val Poschiavo, which is situated at 1750 m.s.l. To create this album, she took to translating the pristine valley and its surrounding lakes and glaciers, into music. Highlighting the fragility of the environment and the beauty and the devastation created by climate change, the album incorporates the natural world into it’s very fabric; each song a different place on the map, creating soundscapes with violin, viola, cello and vocals in combination with electronics made out of field recordings passed through modular synths, masterfully produced by collaborator Roger Goula.
