International Premiere
In two villages in Southern Italy, Basilicata, Vincenzo and Quirino shape zampognas from wood of the surrounding forests. Vincenzo seeks the perfect timbre with an almost scientific ear. Quirino remembers the history of music in the region, and listens differently – the sound emerges from the process itself. For both, music renews bonds to the landscape and their community.
