As an effect of lockdown, Mauro Basilio found himself obliged to create in solitude. This is the first track of a work-in-progress project, for soloist oud and other instruments.
Initially, it’s totally selfproduced : Mauro Basilio composes, plays all the instruments, records and mixes them. The video too is selfproduced, filmed just with a smartphone.
