“Regina Silva”
Because the world of nature has long interested me more than the world of humans, the impulse behind the album Regina Silva was the desire to build a musical narrative based on animal communication signals. I began collecting them through field recordings and by processing samples found in the digital realm. From this material emerged a lyrical–rhythmic structure in which biological, micro-formal irregularity merges with hypnotic repetition.
All the compositions were created in early 2024 in Kenya, which proved to be an exceptionally powerful creative catalyst for me—above all due to the intensity and autonomy of its natural environment. The richness and variability of the soundscape, audible at different times of day, led me to perceive the natural environment as a single organism, constantly communicating.
Regina Silva, meaning “Queen of the Forest,” does not refer to a specific figure, but rather to a state of being that exists beyond human intervention. Many of the motifs—especially rhythmic ones—were created by directly translating animal communication signals into compositional material, which became a key form-shaping element of the entire album. The record affirms a vision of the
world devoid of human centrality, in which music functions as an equal mode of existence and communication.
