This Sunday, L'Ora Italiana welcomes Alucandra, the Italian singer-songwriter and chemist whose debut album 'ALUCANDRA'S WORLD' transforms life lessons into a musical journey through myth and alchemy. Born from her first 33 years of experience, each track serves as a chapter in this 'musical book,' exploring themes of belonging, resilience, self-love, and ultimately, hope. Alucandra masterfully combines Mediterranean instruments like Bottari wooden percussion, harp, and mandolin with electronic elements, creating soundscapes that evoke elemental forces—water, earth, air, fire—alongside abstract concepts of time, power, and love. Hidden sonic 'easter eggs' reward curious listeners, while stunning visual animations merge alchemical symbols with surrealist imagery. Family and collaborators are woven throughout the album, making it deeply personal yet universally accessible. Alucandra will perform an exclusive acoustic version of 'Fly Away (CHAPTER III AIR)' specially recorded for KBOO listeners, and discuss how her scientific background shapes her artistic vision.
