Frantic Movement from Iter by Calgolla
A piece whose rhythm imitates the tension of displacement, evoking images of bodies in forced movement, in transit on the routes of survival. The sea here is barrier and abyss, hope, threshold and condemnation, carrying fragmented identities and forgotten histories. The disquiet is palpable, like an accelerated heartbeat. Human cargo forced into mobility, swallowed up by borders, markets and control systems.

Lyrics
concave surfaces
spray gasoline
silence of those
who know how to speak
seagulls
going up low
nets
descending high
slipknot
centers the volume
of the bollard
they'll find
pieces of us
fitted between the meshes
in fish stomachs
or clothes
we believed we had
before all this
we climb
on the docks of the Harbour
we saturate
the docks of the Harbour
together
we are flow
parcels
held together
by weak links
together
we are frantic movement
someone want us
inside bowls
inside aquariums
to be enclosed in the living room
in single line
at border checks

Calgolla was born from an attempt to combine different contemporary sub-genres of rock music with the spoken word, influenced by the beat poetry of the 1960s and the poetry slams.
It is a project that works on the song form, winking and trying to integrate more open musical forms (free-jazz, neue music, math rock). To this end, the songs often feature long outros.
