On this occasion it is a small orchestra that surrounds prolific author and musician ALDO PINELLI from Buenos Aires (former leader of the band Habitat).
An open project (which has also found collaborations in Italy for some concerts) called CLAN ALDO PINELLI, an electro-acoustic congregation with an ambient-folk-prog propensity that wonderfully transforms the enchanting images of Patagonia into music, seen through the eyes and the emotions of the Argentine musician.
Bucolic atmospheres, pastoral sounds, luminous melodies, ancestral rituals (in which the flute and above all the violin play a leading role), as in an enchanting journey accompanied by ten instrumental pieces, which have earned the attention of artistic residences in New Zealand , Sweden, France, where Aldo Pinelli was received as a special guest and fine author.
The enchanting Patagonia in ten instrumental tracks, melodiously pastoral ambient-folk-prog.

“My inspiration for this album was the South of Argentina. The landscapes, the cold climate, the Nature keeping on working, my preocupation about the melting of glaziers, the pure aire, the clean water of the rivers and lakes…
I took that photos as inspiration and tryed to compose music as for a film.
The flute, mostly, let the place to the violin. I used keyboards sounds never used by me before.
The process was long in time but I am very pleasured with the final result.”
– Aldo Pinelli
