Alessandro Nespoli (The Holy Hour)
"Between avant-garde theater and pure sound poetry, her voice transforms into an absolute instrument... A sensory and visceral experience of absolute inner honesty."

"The voice is the primary vehicle through which a human being expresses emotions, thoughts, fears, and hopes. It can wrap itself in speech or unravel into pure, ancestral sound. Romina Daniele is fully aware of this, a true researcher of vocal sound who, following her victory at the Demetrio Stratos International Prize for vocal research in 2005, delivers to the presses Aisthànomai, subtitled Il dramma della coscienza [The Drama of Consciousness], entered into the catalog of RDM Records.
Accompanied by a substantial booklet containing explicit philosophical-aesthetic considerations that underline her intent to tear down standard canonical parameters, the artist takes the listener on an intense, dark, and demanding journey across 17 tracks, where her multi-faceted vocal extensions intertwine with minimal, ancestral electronic textures. Between avant-garde theater and pure sound poetry, her voice transforms into an absolute instrument, capable of continuous formal mutations that range from spoken-word recitativo to agonizing screams, from seductive melodies to industrial rattles. A sensory and visceral experience of absolute inner honesty, recommended to anyone who wants to challenge the canonical limits of contemporary sound experimentation."
