The title “City of UR”, alluding metaphorically to the city and Mesopotamian civilizations disappeared, want to invite to a reflection on the terminal state of contemporary civilization.
9 tracks that speak of the individual’s sense of impatience with the institutions and impotence towards the elites maneuvering behind the scenes of entire peoples fate, the man-machine relationship and the indiscriminate exploitation of resources, the war, the concept of “other” in a historical moment in which political and religious ideologies, continue to divide men fomenting hatred and inciting to point the finger at “the other”, a refugee, infidel, or the minority of cases.
