If you listen to this audio material with tablets, computers, smartphones, (of course with headphones), turn the volume to maximum. The superficiality, or the haste to listen without adequate headphones, heavily compromises listening to the music featured here. Ergo: good headphones reproduce, or at least partially approach, the frequencies desired by the musician or conceived in recording studios. Opera houses were built with appropriate materials and studies and so were concert halls or open-air structures, as well as recording rooms. Unfortunately, if you are only technicians and not full-fledged musicians, you cannot conceive that listening to any musical genre needs an adequate environment. Why do we insist on the use of headphones? Because in recent decades, with the introduction on the market of various technologies aimed at perfecting the sound, a little bit of everything has happened: analogue, digital and so on and so forth, leading to sounds sometimes cleaner, but with a different impact compared to what the author aimed to. Of course we are talking about good quality headphones (the small earphones normally used for mobiles are often lacking in ideal frequencies). The best choice: getting into bed putting on the headphones and dedicate at least a good hour to this listening doing so the various sounds and sensations are perceived and we can abandon ourselves in the arms of Morpheus. It must also be observed that all the compositions by Ciato we will listen to relate to last century, from the 1950s to the 2000s, and are an expression of that historical period. An art rich with his compositions reflecting his most intimate nature, his moods, even his schedules, the fascination for the “big night”, when the most hidden thoughts of one’s “inner feeling” gather together. In fact, what we are going to listen to does not coincide with a “daytime” listening but fills the soul of those who, instead, after concluding a day full of problems and toil, try to abandon themselves to the “nocturnal” pleasure that corresponds with the art of a musician like Arnaldo Ciato. The name of this site is already representative of a trend, of a state of mind, of a particular world of dreamers, namely those who let themselves be seduced by a music close to the solitude of the night and its spells. Or you can read and listen to the ‘peculiar’ music of a musician from the second half of the 1900s, considered great but little known.
