“The wait”, the book-disc by Marco Rovelli
It is the sixth album in the name of Marco Rovelli, winner of the Tenco plaque for the best project album with the album he edited “In the night we guide the stars (Songs for the resistance”), published by Squilibri.
the wait is a record-book: each of the fifteen songs on the record is linked to an “ethical” concept – Waiting, Love, Becoming-other, Metamorphosis, Wonder, Creation, Body, Empathy, Care, Utopia, Resistance, Desertion, Liberation – and for each concept there is a dialogue made by the author with: a poet, Maria Grazia Calandrone; a writer, Antonio Moresco; two philosophers, Felice Cimatti and Ubaldo Fadini; a psychoanalyst, Miguel Benasayag; a neuroscientist, Vittorio Gallese; a theater director, Armando Punzo; a psychiatrist, Peppe Dell’Acqua; a historian, Alessandro Portelli; and two philosopher-activists, Bifo (Franco Berardi) and Silvia Federici.
Musically, the album has electric sounds worked by Paolo Monti. Among the songs, two were written together with the novelist Antonio Moresco and the poet Maria Grazia Calandrone, and one set to music with Teho Teardo. Two are Italian adaptations of fundamental songs in the history of rock: “Sympathy for the devil” by the Rolling Stones and “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. One song has unpublished lyrics by Claudio Lolli. And there is a cover: “Until the last minute” by Piero Ciampi, which won the plaque that the Ciampi prize awards to the best interpretation of a song by the singer-songwriter from Livorno.
