Monologo Addosso
is an album of small sound paintings of great dramatic power, in which musique concrète, electronic inserts, the use of extended techniques, polyphonic and contrapuntal writing interact to compose an evocative and expressive mosaic of colours.
Released on March 8th 2026 on Habitable Records.
The project was born from the encounter between Elena Cornaggia's poetry and the musicians Beatrice Arrigoni (vocals), Maddalena Ghezzi (vocals), Francesca Naibo (vocals, guitar), and Luca Martegani (production). Through extensive collaborative work at "Nitön Sound Experimentation Laboratory", the four musicians have created a sound work that reworks and transfigures the text's elements, seeking to fully convey its expressive depth.
Reviews
“it is not a simple musical transposition of poetic texts, but a process of transformation: the word is traversed, broken down, dilated, until it becomes sound architecture.” […] ““ Monologo Addosso” takes shape as an immersive and layered sound experience, capable of giving poetry a new perceptive dimension.” - read full review on Meeting degli Indipendenti
“What this album is also is intensely feminine. That might sound like a strange thing to say as a reviewer, but there is a sense of power and deep connection between the women who created this recording that is palpable and creates a deep sense of sisterhood.” and “A powerful, beautifully worked project, this is for listening again and again.” Sammy Stein - read in full here
