"When music becomes the best carrier to explore sensorial suggestions, it means that reality is slowly releasing its hold on us.
When we succeed in dodging it, imagination turns into an idea, a throb, a bird's flight.
Prismosfera is like dipping into a sideworld made of liquid music, deep, multi-shaped music looking for a space to wrap you up.
Let your imagination be the vehicle between dreams.
One substance, five senses, endless imagination"
Franz di Cioccio
