The voice in its differing, unexpected and sudden shades, dominates a sign universe, in which faraway melodies and ancient calls meet contemporaneous technologies of composition; weaving the way to explore the perception territories and its processes.

Between construction and dismantling, composition and instinct, Romina Daniele performs the tragedy of consciousness in an open comparison with the listener. ess
