To reach their goal, they’ll each find their own path to greatness—with or without magic.

A fine Febbraio 2025 verrà pubblicato da La nave di Teseo un libro di Rita Pavone dal titolo ‘Gemma e le altre, donne ferme donne che camminano’ ispirato all’omonimo album ‘Gemma e le altre’ pubblicato nel 1989. Si tratta di un concept album dedicato all'universo femminile, in cui la cantante esplora diverse sfaccettature delle esperienze e delle emozioni delle donne. Rita Pavone ha scritto i testi delle canzoni, affrontando tematiche sentimentali e sociali, inclusa l'omosessualità, un argomento piuttosto inusuale per l'epoca, come nel brano "Gemma"; le musiche scritte da Carolain.

From the very first note, Norway's Jon Balke proposes a new sonic dimension with Skrifum, continuing a line of inquiry begun with Warp (2016) and Discourses (2020), solo piano albums which also processed the acoustic environment in which the music was heard. Skrifum (the Icelandic word for "write") takes things a step further. With the aid of electronic audio tool the Spektrafon, which he helped develop, Balke is now able to directly manipulate ambient audio sound from the piano while playing - pulling out frequencies and sustaining them as chords of harmonics. This activated reverberation becomes new material for improvised dialogue, often with quite beautiful results. Jon Balke: "The Spektrafon's sound feeds back in ways that demand space. I take that opportunity to play mostly monophonically and to focus on every single note and its position in the soundscape." Skrifum was recorded in November 2023 at Village Recording in Copenhagen and edited and mastered at Bavaria Musikstudios in Munich. The album was produced by Manfred Eicher and Jon Balke.
