Nucli trio Ruralitats - book-album-

Ruralitats is the third work by Nucli trio; it is a conceptual book-album. All the music is original and inspired by the rural world: toponyms, birds, mountain bowls, or paths have been the source of inspiration to approach nature as an idea of returning to origins, with the pretext of disconnecting from this technological and hyper-connected world that often sweeps us away like a flash flood.

The music is accompanied by a series of poems by both contemporary and classical writers, and also includes some unpublished writings directly inspired by the album's music.
