Released on Le Vele (Egea Records), *Økarine* is the new album conceived by Økapi based on the puppet show *“Isabella Ambasciatrice di Armonia”* by Riccardo Pazzaglia, created for Ocarine Factory of the Fondazione Entroterre.

Blending electronics, timbral manipulation, and acoustic suggestions, Økapi’s sound—shaped through years of activity on the international experimental music scene—moves between memory and invention, between analog and digital, within an immersive and imaginative sonic landscape. The sonic universe of the ocarina becomes a living material to explore and transform: samples, resonances, and acoustic fragments are recomposed into a refined electronic texture where echoes of tradition and contemporary visions coexist.

The result is a work that takes on a life of its own: through cinematic atmospheres, micro–soundscapes, and lyrical openings, *Økarine* is a musical journey that preserves its original narrative spirit while expanding it in new directions, revealing Økapi’s compositional freedom and visionary irony.
