"Alessandro Baricco is Italy's most famous contemporary writer, known for his unusual characterizations and lyrical, poetic style. He contacted Air In summer 2002 for a live performance in a theater during readings of one of his best selling novels City. The show premiered last November in Rome's Teatro Valle with such artistic success that both decided to make a record out of it and the result is City Reading. On City Reading, Air have recorded over one hour of original music separated into three 20-minute pieces, mixed by Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, over which Baricco recites his own texts in Italian with his unique voice. The result is a deep voyage into western stories, underpinned by Air's unique musical know how, exploring both sentimental and cinematic moods."
