"I am a musician and in this moment of my life I am dealing with pain and all that follows... This is an album based on the concept of physical pain, its title taken from the name of a famous theory about it. I have attempted to communicate – through the sound synesthesia and its movements — the same sensations and disorientation that we can try in times of difficulty and suffering. However, in every track there is a strong dose of energy and struggle, obtained from the timbre and dynamics of many analog instruments (not least the Buchla at EMS in Stockholm). I also used sounds from acoustic instruments, effects, tapes, Walkmans, reel-to-reel recorders, a modular synth and more... My aim is to work on the perceptions of the listener, making them participate with the emotions – main actors in the relationship between suffering and struggle." - Marie e le Rose
