Rossana is the name of a loved one who has passed away. ROSSANA is the new electro avant-pop concept album by Francesco Perissi XO – producer, sound designer and multi-instrumentalist from Florence – out on September 18, 2020 and anticipated by the singles wordless, fxx , venus and cherish, now available on all digital platforms.
ROSSANA contains a symbolic imagery of the emotional sphere of affectivity, often marked by destructive and constructive impulses. Mourning can be defined as the psychological state following the loss of someone or something which has been a significant and integral part of existence. The description of these processes occurs through five progressive phases, borrowed from Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1926-2004), describing the overcoming of a traumatic event: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. In ROSSANA each phase is represented in its sensations by two tracks, for a total of ten tracks.
In cherish we accept the fact that we are a concentrate of lived experiences, which must be proudly preserved because they make us free to be what we are today. The idea of the title of this track comes from a sentence of a close person: “We had indeed amazing moments to share that I cherish like a treasure box”. cherish holds the relationship with our memories: what would happen if we had the courage to put in the “treasure box” even the sharpest memories?
