about

Sud e Magia was written as the soundtrack of ‘Sow the wind’ a movie by Danilo Caputo that was presented at the 71th Berlinale Film Festival.

The title comes from ’Magic: A Theory from the South (or 'Sud e Magia' in italian), a seminal 1959 anthropological study by E. De Martino which investigated the persistence of pagan rituals in the southern regions of Italy.

Southern Italy is precisely where the movie is staged, where everyday life is interwoven with ancient beliefs in magical forces, coexisting with catholic religion and even with science.
The main character is Nica a scientist herself that tries to reclaim her ancestral land, clashing with her father and a general sense of inevitable defeat that permeates Italy these days.

It was a lengthy process, we explored several avenues, listened to a lot of Toru Takemitsu - mostly for the connection his music has with nature - and settled for a few cardinal elements: a custom scale was created and used to build modal harmony, the music had to be played by a small ensemble and rhythmically I would use euclidean rhythms as their circular qualities fitted with the cyclical phases of nature.
