ENGLISH lyrics:
"Ten Cocoa Children
We played blind man's buff
Aboard a boat
The fine for the one who lost
Was a dive into the deep sea
In the midst of fish and the warm waves
In search of the king of kings
Un da du dei du da
There was nothing left to eat
Daidu dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
Then there were only nine left
Dadu dei du da-ah
To whoever asks you "who are you"
You will say "we are the wizards"
So the mothers
Bring gifts of cocoa
And cane sugar
To the king of kings...PUFF PANT
Un da du dei du da
One of them feel asleep
Daidu dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
There were only eight left
Dadu dei du da-ah
We followed a comet
Which took off from a ship
It turned into a ghost
It appeared and disappeared
On it were people with masks
Like pirates...OOOOOOOH
Un da du dei du da
We couldn't find one of them
Daidu dei du da ah
Un da du dei du da
There were only seven left
Dadu dei du da-ah
In the darkness of the ship's hold
Together as tight as could be
The sweet fables...UHMMH
We heard a siren
One looked up
His hand going here and there
Un da du dei du da
One of us broke in half
Du dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
And only six were left
Dadu dei du da-ah
We swam in circles at the bottom of the sea
In chorus, we sang, we laughted, we played
As tight as could be
Like the portholes of a space ship
A thousand colours from a spinning top which
Lifts itself up towards the sky
We left in secret
To play with the sea gulls
On the high banks...EHHHHHHHEHEHEH
When out of the darkness came
The shadow of a pirate
With a sword...RUNRUNRUNRUN!
Un da du dei du da
One of us was speared in the side
Dadu dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
Only five were left
Du dei du da-ah
A boat approached us
And a gentleman with a cloak stepped out
He gave us a new name
But for my brother
He couldn't find one...OHIBO....OHI!
Un da du dei du da
One cannot live without a name
Daidu dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
Only four were left
Dadu dei du da-ah
Then a strong wind came
And we blew into the sails
Not to be carried away....PFFFF!
One of us leaned too far over
He slipped into the sea
A crab snacked him....SGNACK!
Un da du dei du da
A crab took him
Du dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
And only three were left
Dadu dei du da-ah
While we rested
A guardian angel
Looked over us.....RONF!
He took the most beautiful of us
And covered him with lotus
And kissed him...SMACK!
Un da du dei du da
He swallowed him with kisses
Daidu dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
And only two were left
Dadu dei du da-ah
Then the summer came
There were only two of us left
Waiting
For the arrival at Bethlemme
With gifts tightly held in hand
And eyes fixed on the sky, on the sky...UHM...
Un da du dei du da
One of us melted like wax
Du dei du da-ah
Un da du dei du da
And only one of us was left
Dadu dei du da-ah
We swam in a circle at the bottom of the sea
In chorus , we sang, we laughed, we played
As tight as could be
Like portholes of a space ship
A thousand colours from a spinning top
Which lifts itself up towards the sky
Now it's only me left
..............

62 musicians from 5 continents.
This work that refers to the idea of "itai doshin" (different bodies, same mind), was conceived with the moniker InSonar (Claudio Milano & Marco Tuppo).
It shows the extreme possibilities offered by networking.
Starting from the desire to investigate all the possibilities offered by the human voice, electronics and musical instruments of all kinds and latitudes (including 12 theremin players and Thomas Bloch at Onde Martenot), complete freedom was given to the musicians involved, who responded with an unexpected enthusiasm.
The lyrics of CD 1 speak of the ability of children to transform horror into wonder.
The second CD has the theme "the journey" (mental and physical).
Legends of rock, pop, jazz, classical, ethnic and electronic music, from different corners of the planet, engraved with genuine enthusiasm, after listening to the original songs for voice and electronics.
The mixing process lasted three years.
Something unrepeatable.
About InSonar:
The duo began their collaboration with "Red Submarine", track included in Liir bu Fer's "3 juno" (ZEIT CD 003 - 2011) and with an alternate take on "Neve Sporca" (SCR07CD 2013). A second act of the project was the recording of "Gallia" and "Plaisir d'Amour", both on Pierrot Lunaire's "TRE" (MPRCD0063).
Together with "L'Enfant et le Ménure", a collector's item CD called "Neve Sporca" was published. It contains unreleased, alternate takes, live versions
On December 16, 2015, a new track was released. It was called "Nyama" and was published for electronics only with some sparse vocal contributions on Alfa Neu's "Introducing Mr K" (Drummond Records – DSP 011). This track, credited as InSonar, in the form of an extended version, was published online in 2016. "Nyama", in a completely different form, will be part of NichelOdeon / InSonar & Relatives first album, called "INCIDENTI".
Few were the concerts of the project, one only with Marco Tuppo (feat. Walter Calloni, Vincenzo Zitello, Lorenzo Sempio, Stefano Ferrian, Andrea Quattrini, Francesco Chiapperini, the dancers Andrea Butera & Ines Ambrosini), the others with Raoul Moretti and Luca Milano.
