Press Release

In the vibrant heart of creativity emerges "Extrasensorial Songs", a truly original album that explores the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and human creativity. The album features a series of entirely improvised tracks, where the lyrics and stories generated by the A.I. serve as a framework for a session of pure musical exploration. The uniqueness of "Extrasensorial Songs" lies in lyrics, created by the A.I. under the specific guidance of Savoldelli, who instructed the A.I. to utilize a style drawn from James Joyce's stream of consciousness techniques and William Borroughs' cut-up method. The result is a tapestry of sensations, emotions, and fragmental images that evoke a dreamlike, surreal world. This evocation become the starting point  for the musicians, who, in a single afternoon session, brought to life the melodies and harmonies that accompany them. Each track was recorded in one take, without overdubs, with only occasional cuts here and there to maintain the authenticity and immediacy of the performance. Boris Savoldelli moves with agility and skill between vocals, scat and electronics, finding in the creative violin of Stefano Zeni and in the support of Roberto Gorgazzini and Alberto Olivieri really ideal partners. He is a vocalist difficult to frame in a precise style, but that confirms also in this new album his strong aptitude for experimentation.
