Description
Underwood Songs, The Ocean of Scriptures
Book Summary
This volume brings together two key works by Ángel Petisme in a dual format that includes a CD. On one hand, it presents an expanded version of "The Ocean of Scriptures," one of his first poetry collections. On the other, it rescues "Underwood Songs," a 1989 musical work. The collection allows the reader and listener to trace the origins of Petisme's unmistakable style, both in his writing and his music, always linked to the city and rock. An essential testimony to understanding the evolution of a multidisciplinary artist.
What is it about?
The work is presented as an artistic diptych. The poetic section, "The Ocean of Scriptures," is a collection of poems that explore the author's early lyrical obsessions: the city as a stage, the rhythm of urban life, and a critical and sensitive look at the contemporary world. The musical part, "Underwood Songs," is the recovery of an album that serves as a sonic complement to that same sensibility, where word and music merge. With a prologue by Luis Eduardo Aute, the book-disc becomes an archival piece that documents the birth of a unique poetic and musical voice.
