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 first singles wordless, fxxk and venus, now available on Bandcamp.
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.
venus was born from the passion for astrology and its symbols. Venus, in Italian language, is the goddess of love and beauty, and the primordial core of the concept. The lyrics express confusion and distance, with the input of the philosophical-musical thought which subsequently marked the backbone of the entire work: “The Sound should always stay on and free“.
