The Sea is a Cradle and Storm. Nature, mistreated by man and never yielding, is a Cradle and Storm. Children, the true victims of these dark times, who suffer without understanding why but who inexorably seek the joy of living, are a Cradle and Storm. Produced by the Zero Nove Nove record label and distributed in Italy by Self, in France by Inouïe, in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg by Xango Music, and on the best online stores through Believe Digital, Friday April 19th will be released “Culla e Tempesta”, the new album by Faraualla: the 14 songs speak of and express poetry and violence, fun and sacrifice, war and resistance, and fairy tales and harsh reality.
The voices of this quartet, which have accompanied us on unforgettable journeys for three decades now, emerge once again from the sea, swimming among the vocal expressions of different ethnic groups and historical eras. For Gabriella Schiavone, Teresa Vallarella, Maristella Schiavone and Loredana Savino each composition has an atmosphere that fascinates, or an image or certain feeling as its starting point and inspiration, which the expressive immediacy of the voice portrays. The possible combinations of vocal colors, notes, and rhythmic patterns are virtually infinite. In the creative moment, one note comes after another, and a sound is honed thanks to what happens next; a chord can sound beautiful or terrible, or weak or strong, depending on the chord or the pause that follows. This is how the story line of a composition takes shape during the writing process, woven moment by moment, until it loses a sense of what its starting concept was, to exist then only as sound impressions. Yet in the end, everything comes back together, a logical thread runs through and unites the songs, and within the music of each of them, one can find traces of beloved books read, days of studying at university, past loves and the protests, and the hardships and sense of belonging.
This record is made of all of that. 14 tracks, each one quite different from the other, with covers and original songs, lyrics in Italian, in dialect, and in English and then, once again as in previous works, in invented languages and sound syllables. Everything converges in the two words that form the album’s title: Culla and Tempesta (“Cradle and Storm”). Some of these songs were created for theatrical performances; others come from successful collaborations with prestigious musicians, and some from just playing around and having fun. In previous works, every sound dug deep in search of answers to the origin of the voice, whereas in Culla e Tempesta it is truly the absence of boundaries that characterizes this extraordinary instrument. This is where the desire to experiment further and play with sounds comes from, where fascinating atmospheres, images, and feelings are collected, driven by the creative impulse to move through the expressive immediacy of the voice. A luminous and label-free vocal synthesis emerges from the sound circle created by Faraualla's compositions sung in polyphony.
The Apulia region, for centuries a land where populaces encounter and pass through, has always been present in the sound of the vocal quartet from Bari. Even though the sea may be the point of departure, the journey always leads back to Faraualla, to this deep and mysterious karst cavity, aquifer sinkhole in the heart of the Murgia plateau region in the Bari province.
