With A Screenshot of Now, guitarist and composer Giacomo Susani presents a new song cycle in which he sets poems by Chinwe D. John to music. Screenshot of Now comprises 14 poems by the author, who also works as a doctor, to which Susani has written music for voice and guitar. The music, recorded here for the first time, is intended to reveal the deepest symbolic layers of the texts and interweave sound and word so closely that they are inseparableso closely that they become inseparable. Each poem addresses facets of modern life: the destructive power of global politics, breaking family ties, freedom, the beguiling beauty of nature, love in the chaos of the world, the escape from oppression or a biting satire on the "pirates" of our time. In the end, there is a gentle reminder that simple pleasures lose none of their power despite all the technological upheavalslose none of their power. Three first-class singers share the solo parts: Alexander Chance, Tim Mead and Daniel Norman; Giacomo Susani himself accompanies on the guitar.
