Daydream: the Quarantine’s Soundtrack

Three composers of the Italian label INRI – Gian Marco Castro, Matthew S and Pietro Roffi joined their talent and creativity to compose a track, to give an important message: music never stops.

Daydream, combines different worlds and atmospheres but related to each other, it was spontaneously composed by three artists: the pianist Gian Marco Castro, the producer Matthew S and the accordionist Pietro Roffi.

From their home while self-isolating because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the three composers combined their backgrounds and experience to make a track which part of the profit will be given to charity. The artists’ talent and expertise united to into a track that crosses Italy: Daydream (will be released on March 27th for INRI Classic) it came to life through some dreamy and melancholy atmospheres, carved into the piano, accordion and synth’s melody.

A mirror in our present but with a look for hope in the future, a belief that music might be a further cure for the tough times.

“The Daydream we’re living right now, a sad dream we want to wake up from but we end up in it every moment. But from the other side it is dreaming for hope, a bright dream we would like to be in.”

The single’s cover has a minimal impact: it represents the little and helpless man in his solitude and immersed in the chaos of the universe. A charming black and white video, directed by Luca Kudu Anello, shows the artists’s creative process, framments of the artists’s everyday life during the lockdown: creating a contrast of the inside and outside of their home, framed by the unaware progress of nature.
