Andrea Grossi on Four Winds: "Winds (and mythology) have been a pretext for me: characters to take inspiration from, as to define specific musical identities during the composition process. The keystones of this work, which took me almost two years to complete (November 2015-June 2017), are the pieces that bear the names of the four ancient Greek winds: Borea (North), Noto (South), Euro (East), Zephiro (West). This imagery can't obviously ignore the perspective of the 'migrating wind' as an entity in movement, that blends and transforms itself, renovating traditions, identities and cultures, overcoming walls and barriers of all kinds. This music is meant to be a hymn: a eulogy to the differences that nourish and enrich our world. At the same time, with its harshness, it aims to stimulate a reflection about the terrible fate accompanying those who are forced to give up their lives in favor of a greater hope; an aspiration that, very often, remains unfulfilled."
