About the musical techniques used in STALKER/ZONE, it is worth noting the use of the piano stringboard, already employed in previous works, but here often in combined use with audio effects (live electronics) obtained via pedals. Moreover, in this work, the vast majority of the piano stringboard parts are played using some objects (glass spheres, plectrums, putty knives, brushes of different sizes, bottlenecks, and a rubber hammer).

From "Roadissea rock opera"

The new work entitled Stalker/Zone (SZ, LP – 100 numbered copies, out in December 2023) is issued, a sort of experimental “psychological soundtrack” for the film Stalker (1979) by Andrej Tarkovskij. This project was conceived to offer an in-depth musical interpretation of the film, going beyond the rules of traditional soundtracks. Actions, behavioral patterns, feelings and fleeting thoughts of the three main characters are analyzed extensively, in a musical opus consisting of notes and sounds which are an interpretation of images and of their underlying meaning, and of the psychology of the three protagonists, paired with an analysis of the philosophical connotations hidden in the movie.
