--------------------

Five years ago, back in September 2016, Stefano Gentile published a photographic book entitled IL SILENZIO DEI TUOI
PASSI (The Silence of Your Steps), which collected a series of 56 pictures, both in b/w and colour, dedicated to the
nights in Venice. The book was a journey through the most remote "calli" and "campi" (streets, alleys and squares, as
they're called in Venice) in search of the true 'breath' of the city, far away from the hordes of tourists who 'attack' it
every day during daylight hours.
On such occasion, renowned musician Gigi Masin composed a 30 minutes epic ambient track entitled VENEZIA 2016
which was the perfect soundtrack to the images included in the book. The track was published on CD and released
bounded with the book itself in a limited edition of 480 copies only, and has been unavailable for years now.
In 2021 Gigi Masin returned to that great piece of music and to its timeless sounds. Finally, Silentes can now oer
PLAYS VENEZIA, Masin's latest work contanining a re-edit version of that 'pearl', accompanied by two unreleased
tracks composed and recorded in the same period.
Once again inspired by the city, Masin created an enduring and wonderful ambient masterpiece, a sort of return to the

origins, to his home. Adding to the intrinsic quality of the originals, the tracks were beautifully mastered by Bran-
denburg Mastering in Amsterdam.

PLAYS VENEZIA is simply an unmissable release and one of Masin's greatest accomplishment in a long carrier that
never ceases to amaze us.
