Very rare private CD re-issue of Franca Sacchi's privately released artist's records from the mid 70's "Ho sempre desiderato..." and (one piece from) "Essere". "In the early 70's Franca Sacchi approached feminism thanks to the group Rivolta femminile and began a period of reflection that led her to repudiate formal research and to dedicate herself solely to improvisation as a method to manifest her deepest and most universal authenticity. She then shifted her attention from the organization of sound material to the organization of her own Self, integrating all her knowledge in the various fields of music, singing, dance and yoga. To underline this rebirth, for her first album she chose a title linked to a childhood wish: Ho sempre desiderato avere un cane, un gatto, un cavallo. Ora ho un gatto ed un cavallo, mi manca soltanto il cane (1973). The second album was simply Essere (1975). To avoid any “external” distraction, from now on she would perform her musical improvisations in almost total darkness, and her dance performances without sound accompaniment."
