Today, feb. 1st 2020, is the 10th anniversary of the release of this album, an album that for me means a lot, as it was the start of something "different", in music, for me. Something that is still going on now, and hopefully will go on, still, for long.....

Original liner notes:

In 2006 I had the chance to visit South America and South East Asia, what strucked me most in those trips were the Ombùes in Parco De La Recoleta in Buenos Aires and the Chambaks and the other fabulous trees that grow around and on the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The vision/contemplation of these immense and yet so peaceful creatures inspired me to write music for an ensemble where the "wood" would be its main component and where the apparent immobility (non-mobility) of those beings draws a direct line with the apparent (as well) non-material nature of music.

trees don't "move" and music is an unseizable form of expression; the collection of "mo(ve)ments" found in this album expresses the idea that the way trees "move" foes beyond sensory perception and, similarly, the way one can seize (touch, grasp) music is to be exactly in the "moment" when its being played, heard, felt.

I'd like to thank Ananta, Anja, Claus, John, Robbe and Waso for their dedication and great skills in playing, recording and producing this record, Marco for reminding me always the value of simple things, Pak Yan for sharing with me all those simple (and sometimes less simple) things.

Special thanks to Los Ombùes de la Recoleta and the Chambaks and all the other trees that grow around and on the temples of Angkor Wat for being so magnificent, and to my father Felice Di Domenico for always being there.

Originally released on CD by Spocus Records, february 1st 2010.
