The classically trained, Italian composer Ezio Bozzo, scored this love story of a man and a woman constantly exploring the world (although not literally) they are living in.

Bozzo uses a small ensemble, sometimes just one instrument -- the piano or contrabass, for instance, to dress the drama with a minimalist, often atonal score. The music in each track is a constant repetition of a basic motif, and is quite hypnotic. A few tracks stand out such as 'GIOCHINI' with its delightful one-dimensional simplicity, 'A

LITTLE WALTZ FOR A LITTLE PIANO', with it sweet lullaby-like piano melody, or 'DIRTY TANGO' and 'MMM' which are actually quite enjoyable, and exhibit a higher level of colour and texture.

Most tracks sound like mini quartets or trios for strings and piano etc. Basically, Bozzo consistently combines a couple or several of his 5-6 instruments and experiments in minimalist music. The result is somewhat repetitive and monotonous. Those who appreciate minimalist music will probably enjoy this work. Others may find it just tedious.
