Francesco Messina - Le Api Dell'Invisibile (Vinyl)

Francesco Messina, the Italian ambient pioneer whose 1979 debut Prati Bagnati del Monte Analogo was produced by Franco Battiato, returns with new piano-centred compositions that speak to that cult record. The project grew from a 2023 staging of Prati Bagnati in Milan; Messina then spent unhurried time at his century-old Schimmel piano, and those explorations became this album, which takes its title from a line by Rilke.

Released on vinyl LP via W.25th / Superior Viaduct, following its preview at the Biennale Musica 2026 in Venice.
