About

Sognata

Sognata is a studio project by BackHAUS.

Every work starts as a written score, and recordings of real musicians play it. None of it is generated.

BackHAUS

The name

Sognata is Italian for "dreamed", and it sits one letter away from sonata. A piece starts as music someone hears in their head. Sognata carries it from there to a written score, a performance and a film.

The logo is set at night for the same reason. The "o" is the turning disc from the films, drawn as a moon: the lit side holds the music already heard, the dark side holds the parts still to come, and the note playing now sits on the line between them.
