“Salt Way," the song from the video, is an original track written by Enzo Favata which brings back memories and travels in Ethiopia, along the salt road of Danakil, touching experiences of meeting and comparison with local musicians nonetheless their unique ways of approaching scales and rhythms. A passionate approach and respect for the musician who loves to travel between cultures dialoguing with them.
The video by Massimo Dasara is the fruit of collaboration between the two Sardinian artists, in search of the perfect symbiosis between sensory and music and video, the latter elaborated live, “played" in the literal sense of the term. As the video maker likes to remember: “The common thread between the two universes is the psychedelic vision of the live performance, intended as the psyche's journeys through the senses". In this video, through compositing techniques, chroma key, animation and of course on caravan-like suggestions of the images of the salt road, the atmospheres and suggestions of the concerts are recreated.
The CD version is available from August 2nd via Bandcamp and then will be distributed worldwide via Goodfellas.
