Divided into eight chapters – Sunset, Twilight, Dusk, Nightfall, Midnight, After Midnight, Predawn, and Dawn – the album traces a natural arc from the fading light of day to the awakening chorus of morning. From twilight frogs and nocturnal beetles to the haunting calls of owls, the roar of stags, and the distant howls of wolves, the album reveals the hidden symphony of the night.

Beyond sound alone, Nokturno invites reflection on the inner lives of animals - creatures that think, feel, and navigate their world with subtle intelligence. It is an intimate, immersive celebration of nocturnal realm, a journey into the fragile ecosystems that sustain life under the veil of darkness.
Immersive and atmospheric, "Nokturno" captures the beauty, mystery, and fragility of nocturnal life. It is both a celebration of nature’s hidden orchestra and a reminder of the importance of protecting the habitats where these sounds still resonate.

Started in 2021, "Écologies de la brousse – Aadaajii laɗɗe" is a non-linear project of photographic, textual (Katia Golovko) and sound (Cristian Adamo) exploration of termite mounds and the savannah environments of northern Senegal.
These are conceived as metaphors for synergy, complexity, and symbiosis in the more-than-human environment, and as a search for alternative paths to the inherent violence of capitalism.
Termite mounds are living monuments, self-contained ecosystems, straddling the visible and invisible, serving as refuges for both living and non-living inhabitants of the savannah, and as examples of cosmic conviviality.
This audio track was initially made for Katia Golovko's installation "Écologies de la brousse – Aadaajii laɗɗe" on the occasion of "Branching Streams - Sketches of Kinship’"exhibition in May - September 2024 in Dakar. The recordings included in this composition were made between late December 2023 and early January 2024 on the Île à Morphil, in the department of Podor, Senegal. Panoramic microphones, Geophone and radio tuner on different frequency bands were used for these recordings.

Installation: Katia Golovko
Recording and editing: Cristian Adamo 
Mastering: Giuseppe Ielasi
