In the composers own words – “The French poet and writer, Francis Ponge wrote a book called "La fabrique du Pré" ("the meadow factory"). I give a double interpretation to this title: constructing from zero, creating a story starting from the beginning of life; or working on the preliminaries of existence, trying to give consistency to this magic zone where childhood starts its long process of becoming adult, magic starts to separate from reality, infancy from adult life and the reverse, adult life feeling deprived and nostalgic of a purely emotional relationship with reality, children and adults becoming aware of the lack of an ecstatic relationship with the world, later replaced by an aesthetic one (in art), by faith (in religion), by love, or by drugs, meditation, extreme sports or any artificial method to go beyond this present, heavy, concrete world. I think this is the leading thread and the deep meaning of this CD program. - Stefano Gervasoni
