  • S1E8 - 1.8. Frédéric Valentino
    Sep 17 2023
    Episode Notes

    Have you ever wondered what goes through a potential abuser's head the moment he sets eyes on his victim? How does he reason, what strange mechanisms are triggered in his psyche? What alibi does he create to justify his intention? We have the opportunity to hear it from Frédéric Valentino known as Freddy, a character destined to play a crucial role in the story: a charming Italian-Swiss son of a psychiatrist, he is a lucid deranged fully aware of his own psychic pathologies. The interpreter is Eric (AI). Covers and excerpts of the following tracks can be heard in the episode: "Farfallina" by Luca Carboni (cover by Red Sprecacenere); "She's Lost Control" by Joy Division; "Voices of Angels" by Hildegard von Bingen.

  • S1E6 - 1.6. About Mr. B.
    Sep 5 2023
    Episode Notes

    We are in 1994, a crucial year for Italian politics: on May 10 of that year Silvio Berlusconi launches his first government, in a context of imminent economic crisis of which small Italian entrepreneurs, such as the Kellermanns, are deeply concerned. Here we witness a dialogue between Michele, Emmanuel's elder brother, and some of his friends, typical exponents of the middle-upper bourgeoisie of Turin: the judgments they express on behalf of the "Knight" oscillate between doubts and hopes. The narrative voice is the image of Emmanuel reflected in the mirror. All the characters are played by AI.

    Sep 5 2023
    Episode Notes

    Have you ever heard two AIs talk about Platonic philosophy? Here's your chance to put them to the test: both interpreters of this episode, in fact, are AI. Through the eyes of Antonia we witness the first moment of real crisis of Emmanuel, coinciding with the death of Kurt Cobain. Emmanuel seeks solace in Platonic philosophy and talks to Antonia about music and cartoons. In the episode you can hear live songs and covers of the following tracks: "Come As You Are" and "Something In The Way" by Nirvana; "Farfallina" by Luca Carboni (cover by Red Sprecacenere"); "La sedia di lillà" by Alberto Fortis.

  • S1E4 - 1.4. Active, passive and transitive middle - feat. Dexter Britain
    Sep 4 2023

    In this episode we witness a back-and-forth dialogue between Emmanuel and Antonia (both AI) on the banks of the Orco torrent. It is one of the last moments of carefree serenity for the boy, whose hypersensitive psyche is not yet troubled by the brutality of life. Antonia, deeply fascinated by his naive spontaneity, becomes increasingly involved in that magical and somewhat unreal atmosphere. The song that plays at the beginning and at the end is "Nothing to Fear" by Dexter Britain, whom we thank for the concession.
