"Il Lungo Inverno" ('The Long Winter') is not a soloist project, but a four-hand collaborative project by brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio. The juxtaposition of visual matter and sonic matter is intended to be creative and enlightening. The artists' establishment of a relationship of consonance or dissonance between each other's work generates an expansion of the entire work of art, interacting with the true and proper creative impulse. The visual work of one artist relates to the musical work of the other, as a creative action responding to a creative action. In the more and more desolate and desolating landscape of this beginning of the third millennium.
