Love Letters Beneath The Doric Tomb

Digital / Vinyl · XJM22006

„Love Letters Beneath the Doric Tomb“ is a declaration of love to our time, cast as an intimate musical journey. Recorded between Berlin, Dresden and Rome, the album was performed entirely by composer, guitarist and producer Enrico Olivanti himself — on electric and acoustic guitars, slide guitar, synthesizers, percussion, piano, voice, bouzouki and Tibetan bells — and co-produced and mixed with Stefano Barone. The title comes from a true story: two secret lovers in 1920s Rome who exchanged love letters for five years. Toward the mysterious end of their relationship, the man chose to bury the letters beneath a Doric tomb on the ancient Via Appia — where they were rediscovered seventy years later. Inspired by this, Olivanti builds a narration across eight compositions in which spontaneity and meticulous care for sound and form coexist: from the drone-based „Oltre la Curva“ and „Laos Ergon“ through the meditative „Piani“ to the dramatic „Wuhan“ and the title track. The album was released in October 2022, also on vinyl.

Enrico Olivanti

An Italian composer-guitarist whose solo-played album Love Letters Beneath the Doric Tomb turns a true 1920s Roman love story into an eight-part, multi-stylistic journey.

Enrico Olivanti is a composer, guitarist and producer whose album "Love Letters Beneath the Doric Tomb" is an intimate musical journey and a declaration of love to our time. Recorded between Berlin, Dresden and Rome and played entirely by Olivanti himself - on electric, acoustic and slide guitars, synthesizers, percussion, piano, voice, bouzouki, Tibetan bells and sound design, with co-production and mixing by Stefano Barone - the album takes its title from a true story of two secret lovers in 1920s Rome who exchanged letters for five years before burying them beneath a Doric tomb on the ancient Via Appia, where they were rediscovered seventy years later. Inspired by this tale, Olivanti builds a narrative across eight compositions in which spontaneity and a great care for sound and form coexist across many styles: from the drone-based pieces and hypnotic, meditative passages to the dramatic and the romantic, culminating in the title track.
