In Journal de Bord, the composer and sound artist Alessandro Bosetti presents an autobiographical work. It is the logbook of his mother who, in 1978, begins a long journey on a sailing boat from Gibraltar to the Canary Islands, a journey that is also the beginning of her separation from her family.
It is a handwritten narrative divided into twenty chapters - one for each day of navigation - in which we speak of dolphins, flying fish, sudden storms and the watches imposed for the turns at the helm. The composer traces the itinerary of the diary and the voyage with his own voice, working on the border between spoken language and song, but also choosing the form of a lyrical monodrama inspired by oriental theater and radio fiction. The voice of Alessandro Bosetti retraces a lost segment of his childhood. A vocal caligraphy that faithfully follows the mother's voice in the form of a musical monodrama, also performed by three musicians on stage. An ultimately autobiographical piece that delves into the memory and intimacy of the voice.
