Tuonando
* Limited Edition 300 Copies + 12 Pages Booklet * The album contains several and unpublished performances by Vicinelli and tries to return all the vocal grades and timbric spectrum of her practice. The performative overstatement of the meaning alternates with purely phonetic aspects of poetry.

Sodorome Vol. III: Les Romans de Massou
