Introduction by
Gianni Morelenbaum Gualberto
Two ensembles, one inspired by the Balkan tradition, the other by contemporary music, meet on the same track at a train station.
Is there a language that can help me come to terms with the modern world as represented by the Absolute Ensemble? If we imagine that I represent a culture left behind compared to civilized Europe, and that the Absolute Ensemble represents contemporariness, then our dialogue would be an imaginary encounter, an encounter between two opposites that otherwise would not meet and speak with one another so easily.
But they can do this through the common language of music. This work consists of three movements in the form of letters to three Prophets, based on a dialogue
which ranges from "clash" to "reconciliation".
The country I come from has a terrible and tragic history, where for centuries three religions - Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam - have fought one another. I want to believe that writing musical letters to three Prophets will not be perceived as a disrespectful act.

Èlia
India Song is a quiet place where, along the fil rouge of writings by Marguerite Duras, windows are opened onto lands and stories that are only apparently distant.
This pathway unites the hills that surround Siam and the city of Jacques Brel, the love story between the characters in Nemmeno il destino, a film by Daniele Gaglianone, and the relationship between Marguerite Duras and Yann Andrea Steiner, workers at the Renault Boulogne-Billancourt plant and the child from the south that arrives at the train station in Torino.
Pietro Salizzoni and Lalli have been a songwriting team for the past nine years.
Their work and growth expressed the need for a name.
The duo has been known as Èlia since March 2006.
Èlia is also the title of their latest album.
Through affinities of intents and sensitivity, their songs are born out of a search for simplicity.
Sometimes they tell stories, other times they recount the emotions and feelings of our age.
