Snowflake

Updated: May 21

We didn’t expect that day to become anything.It began like any other — a plan, a drive, a meeting waiting somewhere on the other side of the city.

We were meant to meet Guglielmo, a clarinet player, for a concert practice. It was simple. Ordinary.

And then, almost without announcement, something began.

At first, it was so light it felt uncertain — a fine, powdery drift, like dust suspended in air, settling softly over the green fields. I remember watching it, trying to understand what I was seeing.



And then it didn’t stop.

The frame stayed the same — but everything within it began to change.The world didn’t pause for it. It kept moving.

And yet, there was no resistance. Just an unspoken agreement to let it happen.

I think that’s what stayed with me the most.

We drove through it — from the village into the city and back — I was holding the iPhone against the window, filming everything.

I didn’t know then that I would return to these fragments years later.Didn’t know they would become this.

But it stayed somewhere.

This video is from 2017.The music was created in 2020.

Somewhere between the two, this found its shape.

This is Snowflake.



Later the concert with Guglielmo Pagnozzi
