about

In Greenland I knew a world without fences, authentic in all its parts, a glimpse of a primordial world that lives on in the past, in books, in fantasy. Its tangibility disorients and confuses, it's an illusion that takes shape.
My music aim at recreating the sound of ice melting quietly into the sea, when it reaches the end of its track, when it seems a precious crystal; it is delicate, mild, restful, charming.
The sound of big icebergs on the contrary is menacing, they lost in the water waiting to break and crumble. When this happens it’s shocking, the sound is like a thunder, deep and sinister. These huge creatures turn over in the water again and again and crumble into large fragments that raise high and dangerous waves. Sometimes you hear them roaring in every direction, in this space without dimensions.
At other times, there's no movement, but you can occasionally hear from the deep water a sharp blow, a piece of ice breaking.
Slipping into these icy waters ...
Silence.
Silence is surreal, is like a large and totally white painting. There are hardly any sounds, when the large blocks of ice don't break. You can only hear the delicate dripping of water and the gentle hum of seagulls in the distance, almost suffocated by the absence of sounds.
The fog conceals the view, you can only see an expanse of soft and crumbly whiteness, on which stands out the more intense and solid white of the icebergs.
Is a place that compels you to observe it with deference; is solemn, almost supernatural.

Godhavn is dedicated to my Mother and to all those who have lost a loved one

Galati is a solo project by Roberto Galati

Born in Italy, he grew up between Padua and Trieste. The roughness of the Karst Plateau is the key to understand his musical sensivity.
On the Karst you can smell ice in the air, you can see the vast stretch of limestone riddled with caves.
He is passionate about the icy wastelands of Ambient music and the abstractions of Post-Rock. ... more
