The sixth album by CORDE OBLIQUE was conceived as a wooden palette used to mix colors with sounds. The album title accordingly stands for ‘The Masters of Color’. The sounds of the colors are evoked by using a wide range of different musical instruments and musical styles. Almost all existing music tonalities have been involved to create the songs; moreover every song title refers to a different color and the graphic design was inspired by one of the most famous Italian art history encyclopedias printed in the '60s. The cover Picture is a photo by one of the most prestigious and acclaimed Italian photographers: Franco Fontana. The album includes 13 unreleased songs written and produced by the mastermind Riccardo Prencipe. Over 50 minutes of refined Progressive-Ethereal-Folk music in the well known, high quality CORDE OBLIQUE sound. The album features various musicians and guests from IRFAN and ASHRAM to the ever present violin player EDO NOTARLOBERTI and many more.
Released July 2016 on Infinite Fog.
