"You can listen to and read Aisthànomai like a theoretical work, an organized anthology, and a poetical-musical form... mainly a sensory experience with the vibrating body into the urgency and impact of reunification."

"Romina Daniele has been awarded the Demetrio Stratos International Award, and in her new album we can notice not only a great vocal ability—power and versatility—but a great talent interpreting the sense of music and composing abilities as well. You can listen to and read Aisthànomai like a theoretical work, an organized anthology, and a poetical-musical form.
First, it is necessary to read the booklet texts where the aesthetic topics are discussed: 'Voice-Matter-Nature. Electronics-Sound-Technique. Language-Text-Concept'. These are the territories in which Aisthànomai takes shape… and where my cognitive non-condition law is placed as an expressive aim freely pursued. From a second point of view, the work offers a charming performance and interpretation: the transfiguration of the song form through the organic changing of the voice (Materia), vocal-electronics assimilation ('Echo', 'Vero Remake II'), the dramatic experimentation on text-vocals ('Dix ans, vingt ans'), sound poetry ('Vero Remake I'), and total theater-song ('Poesis I').
Finally, almost in despite of her theoretical will (which can hamper total fruition), Aisthànomai is mainly a sensory experience with the vibrating body into the urgency and impact of reunification. 'I do not enjoy all the happiness, remember, it is divided in two parts, and both include emptiness', it seems like Emily Dickinson. But it is necessary to get into the voice labyrinth."
