[ music ] Sognando by Don Bucky. A song about mental health under censura
In 1971 Don Backy composed "Sognando", a difficult song on the theme of mental illness, which did not convince the record companies to let him record it. In 1978 he succeeded, inserting the song in the experimental musical comic comedy (another of his impromptu initiatives), which also bears the title: "Sognando". The song was recorded - in the same year - in a superlative way also by Mina. "Sognando" then also becomes a comic strip created by the singer-songwriter himself.
Here is the text:
DREAMING
I sit there and absent
With a hat on his forehead
and strange things that go through my mind.
I'd have a urge to scream
But I don't understand for what purpose
Then all of a sudden I cry a little
And I laugh like it's a game
If I hear voices, I don't answer
I live in a strange world
where there are few problems
Where people don't have patterns
I have no future and no present
And I live now eternally
My past is now distant from me
But I've got everything I need
Not even the sea in its casket
He's got those things that I dream of
And I don't understand why I'm crying
I don't know what love is
And I don't know the heartbeat
For me, women represent
Who cares for me and supports me
But every once in a while I feel that
The Black Claws of the Night
They make me do inaccurate actions
All of a sudden I hear that voice
And here begins my cross
I'd like to forget and remember
My mind is about to burst
And I smash everything I find
And then I'll try to finish it
There's no hope for me anyway
To ever leave this room
On top of a squeaky lounger
In this hallucinatory place
I often try to fly in the sky
I don't know what harm I can do
If I'm just trying to fly
I don't understand my guardians
'Cause they tie my hands
And at all costs they want
You wear a lab coat for me
Arms back hard I push
And at this point I'm always crying
My god what a big messAnd what a magnificent sight
A clear shadow crosses my mind
Hands hard now I bite
And for a moment I remember
That a time perhaps not so long ago
Someone told me I love you
In a farewell, the voice faded
A peace descended upon the soul
And that's how from that day on
I'm sitting and standing here.
Nel 1971 Don Backy compone “Sognando” un brano difficile sul tema del disagio mentale, che non convince i discografici affinchè gliela lascino incidere. Nel 1978 ci riesce, inserendo il brano nella sperimentale commedia musicale a fumetti (un'altra delle sue estemporanee iniziative), che ne porta anche il titolo: “Sognando”. La canzone viene incisa - nello stesso anno - in modo superlativo anche da Mina. “Sognando” diventa poi anche un fumetto realizzato dallo stesso cantautore

Presentazione del Padiglione #UareMyProblem – 7a Edizione di The Wrong Biennale La settima edizione della Biennale Internazionale di Arte Digitale The Wrong , in programma dal 1° novembre 2025 al 31 marzo 2026, invita il pubblico e i creatori a esplorare il potenziale trasformativo dell'intelligenza artificiale, celebrando la sua capacità di ridefinire i confini dell'arte digitale, della narrazione e della creazione sonora. In questo contesto, il padiglione #UareMyProblem presenta il progetto "Homo (/)Sapiens(?) (??)Sapiens(//)" , un'indagine artistica, filosofica e sociale sul concetto di intelligenza – umana, ibrida e artificiale. Attraverso un approccio critico e provocatorio, il padiglione riflette sugli eventi drammatici della contemporaneità, dalle guerre incessanti alle discriminazioni sociali, per interrogarsi: siamo davvero una specie intelligente? È questo il frutto dell’evoluzione: la capacità di soverchiare e distruggere con maggiore efficienza? L’int...
