Night Caves by Jolanda Moletta
Italian artist Jolanda Moletta returns following her acclaimed 2022 album Nine Spells, which reconnected her with her female ancestors with a new album called Night Caves. This is a transformative album that delves deep into themes of ancestry, nature, and inner exploration. Through field recordings and vocal performances captured inside ancient sea and mountain caves in Italy, Jolanda forged a profound connection between her music and the land, weaving a sonic narrative of healing, self-discovery, and belonging.
Caves, as symbols of the unconscious, serve as the album’s central motif. Jolanda describes them as sanctuaries for humanity, offering insights into ancient spirituality and creative expression. In these spaces she confronted her own shadow-self, fears, and hidden treasures, ultimately rediscovering the creative fire within. The album’s artwork features photos of these caves, interwoven with black-and-white self-portraits which reflect the duality of light and shadow, serving as portals to the inner and outer worlds. Jolanda's art bridges these realms, inviting listeners to explore their own subconscious and creative potential.
At the heart of Night Caves lies Jolanda’s artistic philosophy. She describes her work as 'Sonic and Visual Spells,” which connect the audience to their own intuition and inner world. Drawing inspiration from archetypes and shared cultural symbols, Jolanda’s creations transcend the boundaries of time, space, and tradition. Her holistic approach integrates music, imagery, and symbolism to craft immersive experiences that inspire transformation. The human voice, she believes, is a bridge between the visible and the invisible, with the power to evoke emotions, spark imagination, and connect listeners to their deeper selves. In Night Caves, Jolanda expands on her commitment to blending sound and visuals, offering listeners not just an album, but an invitation to experience art as a sacred, transformative ritual.
