The Most Hateful and Angry F*cking Lullabies (2024)

I’ve been lucky to become a godfather recently, and in response to that I have pondered about multiple aspects of family life and of children. As all the sweetness that usually surrounds newborn babies I wanted to do something different. 

I had been examining the music box as an instrument and wrote an actual lullaby for my goddaughter. However, I felt like I was not quite done with a little lullaby and I wanted to write completely opposing pieces as its sweet and innocent, lullaby-like sound suggests. These miniatures represent different, conventionally speaking, annoying and anger-triggering, even sad, family and children dynamics.

With outstanding:

Federico Altare – flute

Matteo Marra – violin

Adrián Bartolomé Manzanos – clarinet

Lucas Arango – mixing & video editing

Otto Rissanen – compositions & music box
