“Walks on Devil’s Talks” tells about a complicated, inner struggle between thought and its limits.
The figure who embodies this collision is represented by “Ilde” (from the German “Hild”), a female warrior facing the most dangerous individual a human can deal with: herself.
Without the necessary tools, Ilde attempts to make sense of the problems she is forced to face, trying to get help from her instinct to silence intrusive thoughts.
This piece arises from the need to get out of a path defined by struggles and sufferings, which have the fascinating power to transform creativity and give it a strong connotation but also strong limits.
For these reasons, “Walks on Devil’s Talks“ represents a conflict followed by a rebirth, a last look into the past to transform it into its next version.
Winner of the call for scores “METALLICUM” organised by AGON, “Walks on Devil’s Talks“ was composed in 2023 for flutist Laura Faoro and guitarist Silvia Cignoli.
Listening with headphones or through a sound system is highly recommend.
