CKD 782

The song cycle A Screenshot of Now is a new work by guitarist and composer Giacomo Susani on words by the poet, lyricist, author and physician Chinwe D. John.

Receiving its premiere recording on this album, the collection is a series of 14 poems in which Susani’s music – for voice and guitar – aims to act as a conduit of the lyrics’ deepest symbolic meanings, in such a way that sounds and words become indivisible. Each poem reflects on various aspects of modern life: the corrupting nature of global politics, family dysfunction, freedom, the beauty and seduction of nature, romance amid chaos, escape from tyranny and satire of modern ‘pirates’. The cycle concludes with a reminder that simple pleasures still hold meaning despite technological change. Three leading voices share the spotlight: Alexander Chance, Tim Mead and Daniel Norman, with Giacomo Susani accompanying on the guitar.
