Calm, come and see 
 Your Dusk, burns in HE 
 Come, come and be 
 Your Life, sleeps in SHE 
 Her grace has drowned In black now bound 
 To catch the unfound 
 Recall that dream 
 Something went lost in thin steam 
 SHE's your mark to trace 
 Life being night to face 
 Calm, calm ven ca
 Il sium, nê tal lat Lat, nee tal lat E il sium, no l'è il ca Ca il cûr nol bat HE's milk ink but Maglât l'è il sanc Colât tal sium Alc ta rosade ti ten la lum LUI il to pont tal gnot Gnot nee gnot Tal sanc, nue sium Black within milk cannot bloom 
 Cui il to tai sul gnot? Life being dusk on rot 
 Dusk's just life on rot

Cold, will be cold enough to lead my trail up to your warmth gather ages in just one sore and keep, keep your taste on my lips let them rest there from your breath to all tides held in your chest where body has meaning a scent from core beloved by word untold by cold May my frail singing melt on your golden skin will He fit you? will He fit you? May my frail singing dress all your golden skin will He fit you? will He fit you? Warm, now it's warm enough to spread your taste to all seas carve your skin on every tree To chase the first meaning what is kept in bone neither touched by word nor reached by cold May my frail singing melt on your golden skin will He fit you? will He fit you? May my frail singing dress all your golden skin wish He'd fit you wish He'd fit you

Lower your cry ears won't hear walls eat rooms, tears Voids know doors Fears load grief Lone smoke leaf Chambers eat sights, breeze Peace leads to dust measures No tune moves things Dead air, same things Riddles in treasures Same scale, lost rings Time's wreck, time's fall Collapsed in this... Raise your cry ears shall hear Pain fills blooms Ruin dwells gloom Heavy times teach fog Stale flow, scar, blemish No beat moves chimes Dead air, perish Shadows in measures Dead scale, dead rings Time's wreck, time's fall Collapsed.

"striking"

Massimo Silverio is a songwriter and musician born in 1992 in Cercivento (Udine) in the heart of the historical-geographical region of Carnia. He writes and sings in his native language, a minority language called “carnic” spoken in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

<<I have always had a strong attraction to the sound and meaning of the words I used to hear from my grandparents and parents. Timbres, melodies and nuances of senses that I have no longer found in those of my peers. So for my music I've used the language of my heart, the metrics and the taste of the Friulian “villotta” combined with a raw, evocative and contrasting sound.>> (Massimo Silverio)

Between the charm of the borderland and the tradition of an ancient language, Silverio has created his very personal aesthetic made of poetry and sounds, mixing classic and contemporary, folk and experimental, acoustic, electroacoustic and electronic.

A research began at a very young age which led him to the creation of an imaginary made of places, montains and rivers, faces and ancient rites translated into music through the use of classical instruments such as the cello, double bass, prepared percussion, piano or folk ones such as the guzla - instrument of the Dinaric Alps - but also synthesizers, guitars, organs and above all the voice which becomes the guide with its light and intimate timbre, mixing Carnic and English to tell a minority yet universal story.

After 2 self-produced EP and a collaboration with the welsh band Adwaith, he arrives in 2023 at the release of his first album entitled "HRUDJA" as the result of the meeting with the eclectic producer Manuel Volpe (Rhabdomantic Orchestra) and the decisive contribution of the italian musician and performer Nicholas Remondino (Lamie, Stefano Battaglia, Vieri Cervelli Montel ). Together they created a work of contrasts, of silences full of sound that go beyond the boundaries of a musical genre.

“Hrudja” is the Langobard ancestor of the word “Grusa” which in Friulian indicates the crust of a wound, a metaphor of rebirth and healing but also of a coat of arms, a memory of something that is disappearing.
