‘From afar’ (2024) The story behind the song. Co-written by Peter Dulborough and ‘La Marti’ (Martina Magionami) Recorded by ‘La Marti’ with SoundZanobi band at ‘Blue Moon Rec Studio’ with Samuele Cangi & Tommaso Giuliani. Master by Niccolò Caldini. A hymn to creativity and the gift of inspiration. The Ancient Greeks believed the earth was the centre of the universe and the planets revolved around it creating a divine music. This ‘musica universalis’ or ‘music of the spheres’ couldn’t be heard by mortals on earth, but only by immortal souls. This gave the idea for a metaphor for creativity. Inspiration is unpredictable and can never be forced. It is like hearing the ‘music of the spheres’ for a moment – then it’s gone! Divine music revealed ‘from afar’ for few brief seconds before it evaporates into the night sky. As it falls effortlessly to the ground, we need to catch it and not let it escape into thin air. This inspiration needs our response, or it passes us by. We need to act upon it and use this precious gift, or risk losing it forever. Peter wrote ‘From Afar’ with La Marti and it was recorded with SoundZanobi. It became an experiment in sound and inspiration in the studio. Peter enjoyed setting the scene with the piano and organ moods. La Marti was inspired in creating a beautiful tapestry of guitars and sublime vocals that glided effortlessly through the skies with starry assurance in a moving and mesmerizing performance. Credits to: Peter Dulborough (piano), La Marti (vox and guitars), Carlo Gardenti (bass), Leonardo Foggi (drums), Samuele Cangi (flugelhorn and production), Tommaso Giuliani (recording and mixing), Niccolò Caldini @tearoommastering (mastering). The song and recording sessions of ‘From Afar’ gave Peter the inspiration to return to his musical ‘The Prince and Rose’ (based on ‘The Little Prince’ by Antoine De Saint Exupéry) which he’d written more than 20 years before and performed in 1998 in Empoli and in 1999 in Florence in Italy. He found a new direction and inspiration to create a new and revised version of his musical and album called ‘The Music of the Stars’ (2024). ‘From Afar’ was not written with any reference to the Little Prince, but the recording suggested depths of intimacy and wonder. There were parallels too with a Pilot and his story of a Prince from a star and the music and "inspiration from afar". --- LYRICS --- Is there anybody out there just like me Who can hear a song that's aching to be free Do you hear a music moving on the breeze Til it grabs you and it doesn't let you free Ooh... music from afar And it's turning with the stars Sweet and gentle chords The movement of the orbs Stretching to the ground We sometimes catch a sound A song was never written by command But was chosen at a moment to be found A melody that roams across the earth Waiting for the moment to give birth Ooh... music from afar And it's turning with the stars Sweet and gentle chords The movement of the orbs Stretching to the ground We sometimes catch a sound Silence all around To those upon the ground Moments can be found We hear them all around Harmony of sound We hear it all around A moment... then it's gone Is there anybody out there just like me Who can hear a song that's aching to be free Do you hear a music moving on the breeze (moves on the breeze) Til it grabs you and it doesn't let you free Oh, music from afar And it's turning with the stars Sweet and gentle chords The movement of the orbs Stretching to the ground We sometimes catch a sound © Peter Dulborough / Martina Magionami credits released May 3, 2024 Peter Dulborough (piano), La Marti (vox and guitars), Carlo Gardenti (bass), Leonardo Foggi (drums), Samuele Cangi (flugelhorn and production), Tommaso Giuliani (recording and mixing), Niccolò Caldini @tearoommastering (mastering). © all rights reserved La Marti: TIPS AND INFO - THE BUSKING PROJECT https://busk.co/71306 IG https://www.instagram.com/lamartimusic FB https://www.facebook.com/lamartimusic TT https://www.tiktok.com/@lamartimusic ALL LINKS https://www.linktr.ee/lamartimusic WEBSITE https://www.lamartimusic.com

Sì forse manca qualche palma e quell'odore Di zucchero filato Ma che importa quando hai a portata di mano Un fantastico gelato Sei a tre passi dalle onde E il sole brucia la tua faccia Se non è tutt'oro quel che luccica Allora è spiaggia Dovrò abbandonare quella fissa della vita vista mare Devo ancora faticare Per potermi meritare Un tetto rivestito di gioia naturale Ma come si smette di sognare Come si smette di sognare Il rumore delle onde E il sole che brucia sulla faccia Non è tutt'oro quel che luccica È ancora spiaggia Non mi resta che suonare Una canzone vista mare CREDITS: Musica e testo di Martina Magionami / La Marti Prodotto da DrLanda & MrKite (Vista mare); Mat Grey Mad Jaguars Studio (Delusione) https://www.instagram.com/drlandaandmrkite/ https://www.instagram.com/mat__grey/ https://www.instagram.com/mjrecstudio/ Mixato da Samuele Cangi e Tommaso Giuliani al Blue Moon Rec Studio (Vista mare); Mat Grey Mad Jaguars Studio (Delusione) https://www.instagram.com/sam_cangi/ https://www.instagram.com/tom_giuliani/ https://www.instagram.com/bluemoonrecstudio/ https://www.instagram.com/mjrecstudio/ Mastering by Tea Room Mastering - Niccolò Caldini https://www.instagram.com/tearoommastering/ Copertina - ritaglio da dipinto di Natalia Wirkus https://www.instagram.com/wirkus.natalia/

Che ne pensi?” Dico che è faticoso a volte starti dietro Pedali veloce perché sei allenato Invece io ho il fiatone, le gambe in confusione E questa bicicletta dove ci vuol portare? Ad un vicolo cieco o sul lungomare Forse ho un po' paura di poterlo scoprire adesso Chiudo gli occhi, smetto di pensare Cerco riparo da un temporale improvviso A passo lento e un po' impreciso Ma non è distante il tuo sorriso E butto via l'ombrello Che questa pioggia estiva Non può che rinfrescare E in fondo è domenica e voglio dimenticare la routine dei pensieri distorti che non mi fa dormire Se torna lunedì io mi lascerò cullare Dal tuo abbraccio caldo ancora un momento E dal profumo del mare Sono un po' distratta Penso a un giorno lontano A quando la tua mano inaspettata si perdeva tra i sospiri... In fondo è domenica e voglio dimenticare la routine dei pensieri distorti che non mi fa dormire Se torna lunedì io mi lascerò cullare Dal tuo abbraccio caldo ancora un momento E dal profumo del mare

La Marti - Black Snowflakes [EP Anime Fragili - 2024] ©La Marti Music Anime Fragili [2024 EP] Lyrics & Music: La Marti / Martina Magionami Recorded and produced at Mad Jaguars Studio with Mat Grey Mix & Master: Niko Rizza Artwork, cover art & various graphics: La Marti / Martina Magionami Black Snowflakes was written for a singer-songwriters meeting organized by Patti DeRosa and Marisa Gareffa and held at "Sotto Al British". I was given two random words (at first almost impossible to use) and I had 1 month to write a song and play it at the following meeting. I went to bed but couldn’t sleep. I was having lots of sleepless nights but that one was worse. So I started putting down some lyrics and finally, in one day, I had the song! Music, lyrics and tears were flowing so easily. I thought I had lost the ability of writing but eventually I had a full song in such a little time and became so impatient to play it on stage. It was the best therapy I could ask for. https://www.instagram.com/lamartimusic https://www.facebook.com/lamartimusic https://www.lamartimusic.com LYRICS / TESTO: Is that one a fake smile? Or are you really happy to get back to your old life? No It’s none of my business But I don’t really care about How you spend your free time I’m just wondering why You needed to show it off tonight Oh I’m just wondering now Mmmh... Don’t you think you were lucky enough When you found a four leaf clover in a field of grass No, you were seeking black snowflakes Now I think I was lucky enough I was able to get out of a smashed car With no scars, no scars but in my heart No scars, no scars but in my heart As I’m walking alone I keep telling myself all this time I was wrong Time never flies when There are feelings involved Uh I’m just wondering why I needed to show it off tonight Uh I’m just wondering now Mmmh... Don’t you think you were lucky enough When you found a four leaf clover in a field of grass No, you were seeking black snowflakes Now I think I was lucky enough I was able to get out of a smashed car With no scars, no scars but in my heart No scars, no scars but in my heart Just scars, just scars in my heart Just scars, just scars in my heart
