I Maestri del Colore

Sixth album by Corde Oblique.
Conceived as a wooden palette used for mixing colors with sounds, the sounds of the colors are evoked by using lot of different  instruments and styles.
Almost all existing music tonalities have been used for the songs; moreover, every title refers to a different color and the graphic design is inspired to one of the most famous italian art history encyclopedias printed in the '60s.
The cover Picture is a photo from one of the main italian photographers: Franco Fontana.
