Masin, Gigi
Plays Venezia
back in September 2016, Stefano Gentile published a photographic book entitled IL SILENZIO DEI TUOI PASSI (The Silence
of Your Steps), which collected a series of 56 pictures, both in b/w and colour, dedicated to the nights in Venice. The
book was a journey through the most remote "calli" and "campi" (streets, alleys and squares, as they're called in
Venice) in search of the true 'breath' of the city, far away from the hordes of tourists who 'attack' it every day
during daylight hours.
On such occasion, renowned musician Gigi Masin composed a 30 minutes epic ambient track entitled VENEZIA 2016 which was
the perfectsoundtrack to the images included in the book. The track was published on CD and released bounded with the
book itself in a limited edition of 480 copies only, and has been unavailable for years now.In 2021 Gigi Masin returned
to that great piece of music and to its timeless sounds. Finally, Silentes can now offer PLAYS VENEZIA, Masin's latest
work contanining a re-edited version of that 'pearl', accompanied by two unreleased tracks composed and recorded in the
same period.
Once again inspired by the city, Masin created an enduring and wonderful ambient masterpiece, a sort of return to the
origins, to his home. Adding to the intrinsic quality of the originals, the tracks were beautifully mastered by
Brandenburg Mastering in Amsterdam. PLAYS VENEZIA is simply an unmissable release and one of Masin's greatest
accomplishment in a long carrier that never ceases to amaze us.
