Villa Lontana Records presents Arcangeli, an audio work conceived as a flow of voices and sounds that evokes the many emotions imprinted by the city of Rome on the artists who have passed through it, from 1950 to the present day. The composition weaves together excerpts from interviews and environmental recordings, alongside releases from Villa Lontana Records, into a sound montage of overlays and audio manipulations that conjure an aroma of a plural and countless Rome. What emerges is an acoustic landscape in which languages, repulsions, ardor, and a wide array of figures enter into dialogue, generating a latent, identity-based counter-narrative of the city. The sonic journey embraces irony and criticism at once, fading into dimensions where the intensity of Rome becomes almost indistinguishable from love itself. 

The event will take place in the first-floor room dedicated to UNAROMA LIVE.
Free admission until capacity is reached.
