Welcome to our project «exhibit Italia»
In this project, one part is listening to our experimental concept
album. We recommend taking time to sit down in a place you won’t
be disturbed, maybe closing your eyes and staying open minded
letting your imagination take you wherever it wants. Listen to the
whole album from beginning to end (approx 20 min).
Another part is the virtual art exhibition you can visit by
clicking below. Let the virtual exhibition be the backdrop of the
music, or the other way around, or simply enjoy them separately,
but they do make up a larger whole in the project that «exhibit
Italia» represents.
Support the project through Vipps #553120 and
Bandcamp.

Scene 1:
It hurts a bit?
Scene 2:
eating. It is yummy and I love it. alone eating with everyone.
Such a lovely evening isn’t it. Indeed. Perfetto. A meal should
not always be shared. you miss the taste. Eating alone at il
fagiano gives me good vibes. It took a while dough. Poi gnocchi.
Scene 3:
walking steps. Look a cow. On pasture. What a joyable sight. It
is nice to walk. Many steps. Mostly upwards to see the sight.
All the steps, a long stair. It never ends. That’s the fun with
it. Enjoy the ride as a Buddhist munk once said.
Scene 4:
renovating old barn. It is old. It is broken. But we tried to
fix it. It almost worked. haha. Too bad it didn’t work fully. We
try something else instead, but we stopped before we were done.
That’s life we think and are almost satisfied. Is there somebody
(out/in) there?
Scene 5:
sleeping. Are you sleeping in a magic chalet. There is a big
empty room. Sometimes scary, sometimes nice. A huge table and a
sofa. Not for relaxing. This room is connected to where you
sleep, and you can look straight at it from your bed. For some
reason this is scary. And of course the wind at night during
fall. You only know it at fall. Sleep thight.
Scene 6:
oh no al fine. In the end, I don’t want to, but here I go. It
does hurt a bit.
More about «exhibit Italia»
The inspiration for this project came from a solo travel to Italy
made in autumn 2018. The insecure feelings of traveling alone, and
the joy of independent exploring of new sites and people, all
mixes together. The music might be dark, but the person travelling
experienced her happiest days, and are longing back. A different
type of salutation to Italy, the «exhibit Italia» concept may give
people a new type of cultural experience, a mix of virtual design
art, video, photo, and of course; recorded music. The album
consists of a total of six scenes exploring different impressions
and feelings, and is based on in situ recordings from the travel.
We hope you’ll enjoy it.
