Sam in therapy is a psychological rehabilitation journey focused on overcoming childhood traumas. The first part (Recollection) is structured as a confession that retraces the patient's childhood, causing the purity of the dreamworld to dialogue/clash with a state of mind that is corroded by fears and traumas in a disturbing and grotesque way. The second part (Redemption) is a rehabilitation journey, the tiring attempt to overcome (never fully achieved) the psychological disorders caused by a traumatic childhood.
The instrumentation also includes the cuica, a friction drum of Brazilian origin traditionally used in samba. The instrument, outside of its original context, offers interesting and little explored timbral effects and colours, which are well suited to represent and imitate the nuances and modulations of the human voice. Here, out of context and estranged, he gives expression to Sam's torments.
