Intermezzo è un pezzo per chitarra acustica da me scritto in omaggio a Saro Liotta, uno dei pionieri del fingerstyle italiano.
Di Liotta, vorrei qui ricordare Goa e il meraviglioso album intitolato l'Attesa.

Assaprassa è una parola inventata da Hugo. Ha però un significato concomitante con la presenza ideale ad un ballo che sta avendo luogo proprio in una Piazza (nella variante bariese la piazza è sa prassa), quella di Chiesa, in un piccolo centro rurale dell'Ogliastra.

All'interno della nota, un RudyMental Video che descrive ricordi sonori delle feste estive a Bari Sardo, in Sardegna.

Recorded @ the RudyMental Studio in Turin

Intermezzo is a guitar instrumental I dedicate to Saro Liotta, one of the pioneers in the technique of fingerpicking guitar in Italy. I will never forget the first time I saw him in Turin, in the late seventies of last century. I have to say his music was absolutely new for me and I found it beautiful and fantastic. I bought all of his LPs and I still have on tape his L'Attesa, which is, in my opinion, one of the best expressions of fingerstyle guitar I have experienced in my life.

C'Rage (Ocean & a Continent)
Recorded @ the RudyMental Studio in Turin

C'Rage (Ocean & a Continent) is an instrumental tune I composed thinking of huge distances or great challenges, the most difficult to overcome. For this reason I thought of vast oceans and continents, which are still a metaphor of the obstacles that each of us faces every day in real life.
