Fragmentation
A memory, filed who knows when, resurfaces: «radunare il corpo frammentato» – which in English sounds like «gather the fragmented body».
As a young man I was listening to the Area Band; «gather the fragmented body» is a text fragment of a piece of their last album. I haven’t been listening to that song for a long time, I really never liked it, however Areas Bend concerned me – and I still am – for their musical content more than the textual ones.
Anyway, I tried to «gather the fragmented body» or (I’m feared this is more congenial to me) to fragment a gathered body…
“1978 gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano” is the Area Band last album, before Demetrio Stratos death.
Even if it’s not my favorite, there are interesting pieces like “Return from Workuta” or the roaring “Il bandito del deserto”.

When Narcissus vanishes, his reflections remain between the mirrors, as fragmented echoes repeated endlessly in a deep way.
