Sylvia Pagni y Vince Tempera unen sus talentos para crear "Le Ragioni Dell'Acqua" (Los significados del agua) - Italiaby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 Vince Tempera (nacido el 18 de septiembre de 1946) es un conocido músico, compositor, arreglista, productor discográfico y director de orquesta italiano, famoso sobre todo por componer bandas sonoras de películas. Vince Tempera es también un gran admirador de la popular acordeonista italiana Sylvia Pagni, y juntos han estado trabajando en una obra musical con un título muy tópico y filosófico: "Le Ragioni Dell'Acqua". En español: "Los significados del agua". Según Pagni y Tempera, estas composiciones tienen la función de concienciar al son de las notas, sobre nuestro recurso más importante, EL AGUA, un recurso público a la vez que fuente indispensable de vida, que hay que proteger y preservar. La música que han creado, es una banda sonora que invita a escuchar con los ojos cerrados, dando a los oyentes la sensación de emprender el vuelo con la mente alrededor de nuestro gran, maravilloso y frágil planeta "Tierra", con colores encerrados sobre los 5 continentes. Las 12 pistas han sido adquiridas por R.T.I. Mediaset, sección música y, están siendo masterizadas en los estudios de la Academia de Entretenimiento S.L.M. Sound Light Music S.r.l en Pineto (TE). La música se publicará en formato digital y CD-audio, con lanzamiento previsto para el primer semestre de 2024. |
