Music for Diego Marcon's works. Written by Federico Chiari. [vinyl LP + booklet]

Starting with the film Monelle (2017), music has been a fundamental part of almost every work by the artist Diego Marcon. Federico Chiari’s compositions emerge from his ongoing dialogue with the artist. The music and the imagery take shape together, riffing off one another as they are interwoven to define both the structure and the emotional temperature of the pieces. The collaboration between Marcon and Chiari revolves around the deconstruction of codified genres, such as the aria, popular jazz, and children’s singalong song. The intention underpinning their work is to pervert the musical language by using its own codes, along with those of cinema.
