Pressetext:
"Respiri" is the new folk-ethereal-ethnic album from the guitarist-composer Riccardo Prencipe, already mind of the LUPERCALIA project. CORDE OBLIQUE is the name that Riccardo gave to the equipe of sound artists' that collaborate to this new album. A precious musical chapter, a resonant journey that takes us from little rainy harbours to distant valleys. From the ancient town of Assisi to the beauty of Paris, from the myth of Miseno to the ancient Caserta's splendours. Those who love music that gives visions can't miss this release. Over 60 minutes that flow with the desire of listening to it again. Fundamental base of music: fine arts from which emerges each note.

Riccardo Prencipe:
Composer, ensemble's mind, plays all classic guitar's lines, percussions, synths, working on the arrangements and lyrics. Experienced LUPERCALIA's composer-guitarist, with two album released that have had lots of excellent reviews throughout Europe. He released the first instrumental album "Soehrimnir" (World Serpent - 2000) with the violinist Pierangelo Fevola and the second one "Florilegium" (Equilibrium Music - 2004) with the soprano Claudia Florio.

Equipe:
Riccardo continues his musical activity changing name into CORDE OBLIQUE by feeling the need of collaboration with different voices and instrumentalists that gave a big contribution to the creation of this album, as executors and in a creative way:

Caterina Pontrandolfo: chant, soprano, spoken voice
Alfredo Notarloberti: violin for ARGINE, ASHRAM, LUPERCALIA
Catarina Raposo: DWELLING's voice
Alessandra Santovito: voice of HEXPEROS, ex-GOTHICA
Corrado Videtta: voice and guitarist of ARGINE
Luigi Rubino: ASHRAM's pianist
Francesco Villani: talented pianist
Francesco Perreca: talented clarinettist

This equipe of sound artists offers us a list of tracks that never bores thanks to the big variety of voices and styles which, at the same time, well melt togheter.
