Shadow Cones: Daniele Ciullini and Le Forbici di Manitù Release Collaborative Album
Founded in 1983, the Italian group Le Forbici di Manitù has launched a new album named 'Shadow Cones' in partnership with Daniele Ciullini, released under the Silentes label. This collaboration deepens the connection between Ciullini and Vittore Baroni, both based in Florence, while linking Viareggio and other network points. The album captures the essence of the city's streets and squares, merging historical and contemporary influences. Featured tracks include 'Shadow Cones' with its electronic elements, 'Traxman Redux' focusing on vocals, 'Oxidized Lieutenant' incorporating theatrical aspects, 'Biancone' with operatic singing, 'Florence Caput Mundanity' alluding to fashion, and 'Lacerba Nights' reflecting literary heritage. It concludes with 'A Mid-July Nightmare,' a playful homage to Riccardo Del Turco's summer classic.
