Popis - HRUDJA [VINYL]:
Massimo Silverio is a songwriter and musician born in 1992 in Cercivento (Udine) in the heart of the historical-geographical region of Carnia. He writes and sings in his native language, a minority language called "Carnic" spoken in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. "I have always had a strong attraction to the sound and meaning of the words I used to hear from my grandparents and parents. Timbres, melodies and nuances of senses that I have no longer found in those of my peers. So for my music I've used the language of my heart, the metrics and the taste of the Friulian "villotta" combined with a raw, evocative and contrasting sound." (Massimo Silverio). Between the charm of the borderland and the tradition of an ancient language, Silverio has created his very personal aesthetic made of poetry and sounds, mixing classic and contemporary, folk and experimental, acoustic, electroacoustic and electronic. A research began at a very young age which led him to the creation of an imaginary made of places, mountains and rivers, faces and ancient rites translated into music through the use of classical instruments such as the cello, double bass, prepared percussion, piano or folk ones such as the guzla - instrument of the Dinaric Alps - but also synthesizers, guitars, organs and above all the voice which becomes the guide with its light and intimate timbre, mixing Carnic and English to tell a minority yet universal story. After 2 self-produced EP and a collaboration with the Welsh band Adwaith, he arrives in 2023 at the release of his first album entitled 'Hrudja' as the result of the meeting with the eclectic producer Manuel Volpe (Rhabdomantic Orchestra) and the decisive contribution of the Italian musician and performer Nicholas Remondino (Lamie, Stefano Battaglia, Vieri Cervelli Montel ). Together they created a work of contrasts, of silences full of sound that go beyond the boundaries of a musical genre. 'Hrudja' is the Langobard ancestor of the word "Grusa" which in Friulian indicates the crust of a wound, a metaphor of rebirth and healing but also of a coat of arms, a memory of something that is disappearing.

"These songs create a beautiful world to spend time in and the unconventional but sensitive arrangements combined with Massimo Silverio's heavenly voice makes this a likely contender for one of my albums of 2023."
