His music is simultaneously a skin and a shell, an inside and an outside, in it we find layers of meticulously carved surfaces, overlapping sonic textures of the most delicate kind, and an ingenious web of repeating elements draped around a nameless, unacknowledged kernel.
In this sense, Tuniche also represent for Simone Movio the sensory manifestation of a mental, or even spiritual experience, namely the preliminary yet necessary image of what can only be truly experienced through contemplation.

They hide something while also hinting at its existence. Besides the idea of a simultaneous disclosure and dissembling, this also brings focus to the image of multiple layers arranged in succession.
