This selection is conceived as far more than background music: it is a sensorial extension of the Alta Marea world. Moving across genres and decades, its coherence does not lie in sonic uniformity, but in the deliberate embrace of a plurality of voices held together by a single matrix: the female perspective.
Sound becomes matter, presence, surface: it settles on the skin and in space, accompanying the daily gesture of sun protection and transforming it into a ritual. An experience where texture, light, and listening converge, drawing attention to what often goes unnoticed
Presente in atto
The opening is shaped by a new generation of artists redefining contemporary language. Daniela Pes, LA NIÑA, Laura Agnusdei, and Marta Del Grandi: distinct voices united by an instinctive, tactile approach to sound. This is not a reinterpretation of the past, but a present in the making, deeply connected to landscape, voice, and body.
Una Solgia
Within this space appears Róisín Murphy, as a figure of connection. Her work acts as a bridge between generations, capable of moving through the legacy of Italian music and transforming it into something new through sound and interpretation. Not a quotation, but a reconfiguration.
Presenze senza tempo
From here, the great figures of Italian music gradually emerge. Mina, Ornella Vanoni, Patty Pravo, and Gabriella Ferri enter the narrative without nostalgia, not as memory, but as living presence. Their modernity is not retrospective, but still active, in dialogue with what follows.
La superficie in movimento
At its center, the playlist opens outward. Elements of pop, disco, and lighter textures begin to surface, introducing rhythm and immediacy. It is a moment of expansion: the sound becomes more accessible, yet retains its depth. Here again, the return of Róisín Murphy functions as a subtle echo, maintaining continuity across different layers.
From this movement, the playlist naturally dissolves into a more abstract, cinematic dimension. The compositions of Nino Rota, Nora Orlandi, and Ennio Morricone do not interrupt the flow, but thin it out: rhythm stretches, sound becomes space, image, memory. It is a closing that does not conclude, but lingers, like light on the skin at the end of the day.
