The SACD Master was implemented by transferring the original analog master made with the AMPEX ATR 102 (Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351 -1965) 2 tracks 1/2 inch 30ips modified by David Manley in Pyramix using dCS A/D and D/A converters. The SACD mastering was done by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the Signoricci analog and tube system.
A collection of tracks from fonè catalog, paying tribute to the feminine figure. Each piece, ranging from classical music to jazz and pop, has been selected to tell, celebrate, and honor the world of women, with their strength, beauty, and complexity.
“This album was created as a musical tribute to the strength, sensitivity, and resilience of women. A journey through sounds and emotions dedicated to those who know how to transform every challenge into growth and every silence into melody.”
