KOINE 'is a meeting point for different cultures and languages.
In a world that loses its colors and its peculiarities due to an imposed globalization, Rita Marcotulli wrote this album, which she sought in its deepest strings, thus creating a coincidence of feelings, chromaticity and ethnicities. This album is a rhythmic, melodic, harmonious journey that has been created with other artists from different and distant countries who share their inner perceptions about this world. It is done through a fairy tale that recalls life (or vice versa), sung with such an incredible voice as if it came from nowhere (Lena Willemark); the other expresses subtle feelings with an even finer voice (Anja Garbarek), which contrasts with the explosion of vitality of Arto Tuncboyaciyan's interpretations and the urgent and happy rhythm of Gianmaria Testa's warm voice. All with the passion and vibration of the respective instruments.
The re-mastering was realized by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the entirely analog and valve Signoricci system.
The Master for the SACD was created by transferring the analog master recorded with the Ampex ATR 102, 2 tracks, 1/2 inch, 30ips to Pyramix using the dCS A/D and D/A converters
