Travel Notes

New Solo Album by Marine Moletto

The mandolin, between heritage and modernity, an endless journey...

The mandolin is an instrument in perpetual motion, both rooted in history and very active today.

With this album, I wanted to tell a story, that of an often unknown but incredibly rich instrument, capable of dialoguing as well with baroque music as with contemporary sounds.

This musical journey follows three major routes: Germany, Italy, and Japan, three lands where the mandolin has left a strong and unique mark. Each piece I've chosen is a stopover, a soundscape that touches me and that, I hope, will transport you in turn.

It's also a more intimate journey. This first solo album is a way of revealing myself through my instrument, sharing what drives me and what connects me to music. I wanted to put my sensitivity, my musical identity, and this passion for the mandolin that never stops pushing me forward.

I invite you to embark with me, to let these Travel Notes take you where sounds become emotions, and where the mandolin reveals itself in all its plurality.
