Voce Sola is Romina Daniele’s 1,000-page philosophical magnum opus

Upcoming Release: Voce Sola (Solo Voice) by Romina Daniele

Voce Sola (Solo Voice): Essay on the Vocal Discourse

is the definitive literary and philosophical culmination of Romina Daniele’s career. Originally conceived in 2009 alongside her triple-album Spannung, this "lifetime work" has evolved into an expansive epistemological essay exceeding 1,000 pages.

Key Elements & Connections

• The Musical Blueprint: The book and the album Spannung were developed in tandem. Key compositions from the record, specifically the Dasein cycle and the piece Resonance, are described by Daniele as literal "writings and essays" from the book itself.

• Philosophical Core: Drawing from Martin Heidegger’s concept of Spannung (the opening or tension of being), the book explores the voice not just as an instrument, but as the "cornerstone" of human existence. It bridges vocal research with contemporary philosophy (referencing Derrida, Deleuze, and Artaud).

• The "Own-most" Voice: Daniele clarifies that her focus on the "own" or "proper" is not a retreat into the subjective. Instead, it is an investigation into the own-mostunderstanding of a shared human property—as original and vital as breath—intended to be shared as the ultimate goal of the research.

• Voice as "Being": The essay posits that "Voice is man here." It investigates the voice as a "powerful expression of the self beyond any canonical sector," moving toward a state of stylistic indifferentiation where music, thought, and breath converge.

• A Responsibility to Humanity: In a "socio-utilitarian" world of material interests and conflict, Daniele views the creation of sense as a necessity. Her work seeks what is most authentic to humanity, viewing the human being as a conscious entity destined to connect with the original sense of existence.

What to Expect

• Scope: A multi-dimensional study covering anthropology, physiology, linguistics, and the "enigma of being-with."

• Content Highlights: Deep-rooted discussions on chapters like «L’in-nato e la risonanza» (The un-born and the resonance), providing a theoretical framework for the vocal techniques and "sound-thought" continuity found in her recordings.

• Status: Currently in the final stages of production.

• Legacy: Billed as a peer to grand philosophical traditions,Voce Sola is Daniele's attempt to map the "original responsibility" of human expression through the lens of the avant-garde.
