"Babel" captures a powerful sense of dissonance and unity lost—a haunting representation of the fabled tower where voices once shared a common tongue, only to be fragmented into chaos. Through layers of Simone Ficicchia' saxophones, each voice seems to rise, overlap, and struggle for expression, capturing humanity’s quest to connect amid discord. Built upon a single, resonant D minor chord, this track unfolds like a tribal dance, grounding listeners in something primal and ancient. Carlo Matti’s composition merges the richness of world music, lounge, and free jazz, with textures from marimba, dulcimer, cembalo, and bells blending with Simone Ficicchia’s expressive sax. The result is an immersive piece that echoes through time, inviting listeners to reflect on the beauty and fragility of understanding itself.
