We are excited to present our new album, “Open,” a work that marks a new chapter in our musical journey. After months of writing, recording, and perfecting, we are finally ready to share with you the result of this adventure.
In this album, we wanted to explore new sounds, blending influences ranging from Ambient to Electronica and World Music, striving to create something that is both innovative and authentic. Each track tells a story, an emotion, or a reflection that has accompanied us along the way. Some songs were born from personal experiences, others from reflections on the world around us, but all are the result of a constant search for truth and beauty. A search for openness.
The Evolution of Sound:
With “Open,” we aimed to give our sound an evolution, incorporating new instruments, recording and mixing techniques. Each song was designed as part of a larger puzzle, yet also as a standalone piece. The production was carefully crafted to create an atmosphere that allowed each track to emerge with its own identity while remaining part of a cohesive whole.
Collaborations:
We are very happy to announce that with this album we had the pleasure of collaborating with an artist we love, Amanda Tosoni, who, with her voice, talent and unique natural vision, helped us bring a new magical dimension to our track “Forest”.

The Story Behind Each Track:
Each song on this album has its own story to tell. For example, the track “The good side of Things” was born during a trip in the Italian Alps, where we experienced something that had a deep and positive impact on us. On the other hand, with the song “at the end of the Path” some parts were recorded during the previous album sessions. We then overdubbed and arranged these parts in order to include them as the opening song of the new album “Open”. This creates a continuum between the two albums, as well as a sense of arrival from the the previous trip through a moment of personal reflection. In any case each song of the new album “Open” has its own “universe,” and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
The Meaning Behind the Title:
The title “Open” represents a sense of openness. This is the concept that accompanied us throughout the writing process and symbolizes the intent behind our work: a sense of openness after a long and deep trip (our previous album was in fact a Path, a Path to Myth, a moving album that brings the listener to the next chapter: Open).
