Back

Early morning in Dhaka.

After a series of seismic evenings, two final morning eruptions…

The last couple days, and the grand finale: everyone was already gone, or on their way back. Only Alec Curtis and Marina La Verghetta were left inhabiting the extravaganza echo-chamber in the auditorium of the Shilpakala Academy. Amidst the curtains and the mobile structures that for the last time assumed a steady position…

He, as always, in the control cabin. Left with the task of producing, promoting, playing the first mixtape, as an echo and a tail of all that happened in the previous days… like the interaction between the soundscape of Haroon Mirza and the syncopated movements of Cecilia Bengolea, while in the background This Much is Uncertain continued to flow…

For one last time, voluptuous swirls of smoke enveloped the inside of our volcano… for one last time, the charade of green and blue lights shined in the darkness…

For one last time…. until next time!

See you in July, in our beloved Stromboli…
