« L’ascolto non si stanca mai. Non è facile ottenere questo. Mi incuriosiscono in “ENTROPIE, canto dei Litofoni II” gli oggetti sonori che hai utilizzato. Voglio inoltre dirti che il concetto di canto mi è molto caro, da tempo porto avanti questo approccio legandolo al concetto di detrito e di nenia. Ne ho riconosciuta una bellissima alla fine di “SGUARDO SOSPESO, Transizione”. È meraviglioso notare la forza della ridondanza di un semplice intervallo come per esempio quello di seconda maggiore; ed è proprio qui che il canto si articola. Complimenti per la poesia che crei. »
