This is not an album planned at the table but a spontaneous translation of a moment of life lived.
When Hugo told me about the project “The Boxx” of which he is art director, and I listened the library, it was love at first sight.
It was perfectly in line with the stylistic and musical direction that I was heading in (I already collaborated with jazz musicians for production and live performance) and the chance to sample from a jazz library so varied and complete for me was a great moment. I immediately thought that making an album with that available material would be best, but also the longest and most difficult thing to do, as it ended up taking almost a year of work.
During that period I was having a hard time because my grandmother, a person key in the course of my life, at the age 89 years old, died. She was a second mother to me. At the beginning, I was undecided on how to set this musical work, I really didn’t have a very precise line to follow until a sign came to me and I was shown the way.
From then on, the music came forth. Its origin was mysterious, mystical and magical as were the moments of its creation.
