The output is a strange chamber music with sudden strokes of controlled (even not) violence. The relationship finds its way among oblique narrations, with lyrical and dramatic moments, and intriguing harmonic textures . In fact the woodwind-string-brass trio is a very unusual interesting tone melange and the improvisation strategies are here enahanced with subtleness and intensity. Tensive-relaxed ! sincere-cuttin edge ! sculpting light atmospheres ! Contemporary avant-jazz / experimental background and extended instrumental skills give a rich nuance palette, a multi-perspective idea of music and vivid listening experience. Continue reading →

Sounds are like dancing souls in these deeply experienced promenades through Genoa places and rows and docks and voices. Archaic hungarian Tàrogatò surprising tone played in a contemporary attitude by Esther Lamneck finds in Claudio Lugo’s curved soprano sax the perfect partner to melt their horns with the living humours of the town sounds. Recorded live in the streets and on the docks. Beautiful video track by Roberto Merani, filming the transformation and the evolution of this magic sea town, adds fresh and nostalgic sights, a sort of keen sounding image. Deep feeling work!

A morphing thunder pushed by acoustical swords, generating long distance waves and slow, inexorable tides. A stunning contemporary work deeply conceived to get perfect sounding ideas, dancing with the space around. Continue reading →

Second excellent work for ElectroAcousticalSilence on Amirani, here is an awesome sound investigation, with lyrical flights in a contemporary atmosphere and sudden perspective changes in depth, space, drama and warmth.Pisani’s bassoon poetry and Cosottini fluegelhorn sweetness find in Taketo Gohara‘s sound design a new teathrical dimension and a vertigo delight, excellently sustained and pushed by the groovy dash of Pedol’s grounding bass and the Melani’s refined drums.

Recorded live at 2007 Bari jazz festival here is an excellent and vivid performance. The free violin legend Carlos Zingaro along with the subtleness of Gianni Lenoci ‘s touch on and in the piano and the colourful energetic percussion of Marcello Magliocchi deliver a fresh, deep, sometimes joyous music. Like children with precious thing in their hands, the trio dangerously manage the sound developments with a great sensitivity and brave directions. The attention to quality and drama of what is taking shape under their playing seems to get back in a sort of reflection, a surprising discovery of an unexpected beauty. Continue reading →
