What if man's salvation lay in forgetting rather than remembering?
I was in Cambodia, on a long journey up the Mekong, seeking oblivion as salvation. The banks of the great river, the dry spring season, gentle and luminous notes of Helichrysum, Incense, and Orange open this flow, in a golden river, a shining labyrinth of the soul. The sound of drums in the night overpowers the silence in the temple; it is the dawn of a new day. L’oblìo narrates man's journey in search of forgetting, with Tiziano Terzani as a spiritual and literary guide. An invitation to travel, a bond increasingly tight for me with the East. Memory flowed slowly, among the vegetal and smoky notes of Mate Tobacco, the welcoming Iris speaks to the soul; we are now in the heart of Oblivion. As the long journey nears its end, the gentle woody notes of Sandalwood and Palo Santo bring us back to the depths of balance. Only the sunset is missing to define the end, but oblivion remains, like an eternal scent, like dust in ancient temples. A fragrance that not only narrates a journey but celebrates a close bond between memory and forgetting. L’oblìo is a spiral of tranquility.
[L’oblìo was conceived, created, and arranged, listening to the album: Eternity by Anathema at each stage]
