It draws inspiration from mid-1980s Japanese ambient music -- Hiroshi Yoshimura , Satoshi Ashikawa , Takashi Kokubo -- and, more subtly, from Italian experimental echoes rooted in both personal and cultural memory. These tracks reflect an emotional and urban landscape, shaped by a gaze cast upon the mid-1980s and early '90s -- a time of subtle yet lasting changes in the form and meaning of shared space. That period marked a delicate turning point, later described as les années d'hiver: the slow onset of fragmentation beneath a surface of creative openness. Still Forms in Air doesn't dwell in nostalgia (though it draws from it), but reimagines that duality through a contemporary lens. Its sound blends memory and presence, layering ambient textures with a refined spatial sensitivity. It is a dialogue across decades -- clear-eyed, affectionate, and quietly luminous. Written, arranged and recorded by Francesca Marongiu in Rome and Pistoia between May 2024 and March 2025. Francesca Marongiu: electronics, synthesizers, vocals, sound objects. Antonio Gallucci : wind arrangements on track 1 and 4, bass and sound objects on track 3, drums on track 3 and 4. Mixed by Francesca Marongiu and Antonio Gallucci.
