This is the first EP published by the italian independent artist Dialogue.
1) Bapu: in Gujarati, one of the main Indian languages, "bapu" means "father" and was how indian people used to call Mahatma Gandhi. The track represents the contrast between the violence of acid sounds, a distorted voice screaming, aggressive and glitchy drum breaks and the calm voice of Gandhi who prompts the non-violence.
2) Rottami: in italian "rottami" means wreckages. The track is an evocative soundscape of tiny broken sounds in a constant movement through an ambient texture where a simple melody evolves.
3) Escape from Leonia: the track "Escape from Leonia" was inspired by a short story against consumerism called "Leonia" written by Italo Calvino. It describes a dystopia of a city called Leonia where its inhabitants buy items they'll never use more than one day and that's why the city is slowly dying submerged by hills of trash.
4) Zulu 41: this last track describes the landing of a spaceship called India Zulu 41 on a lost planet. The astronaut realizes he's completely alone and no one can hear him in space, except for a man through a radio
