This Is Water is based on sound research and the relationships between space, time and memory. A synthesis of improvisation, composition, electroacoustic sounds and ambient, where a series of sound installations that reproduce in different ways the sound of water and the elements, interact with the electric guitar. The guitar at times dematerializes getting lost in a vortex of sounds obtained, as well as with normal techniques, with the rubbing of the strings through the bow, the insertion of foreign bodies between the strings, voices that are filtered by the guitar pick-ups, loops and electronic, magnetic and circular sounds. A musical but also theatrical and scenographic performance.
This project is mainly inspired by Indian classical music, with a rhythmic approach based on a numerical system to build patterns, in which the drums is free to improvise within a rhythmic progression, as a melodic instrument would do on a harmonic progression. The trio's repertoire also extends to the reinterpretation of some melodic trajectories typical of oriental music but with a modal jazz approach, more circular and hypnotic. It is possible to ear, within the compositions, rock, electronic and Middle Eastern characterizations with wide and meditative sound spaces, all with a clear reference to some sounds and experiments typical of contemporary European music.
The Inexorable project is based on the concept of graphic notation. Instead of writing on pentagram, the score was made with two hundred drawings on paper, handmade by the author. The graphic works were then photographed and edited on a video that has the function of both score and interaction with the audience. The concert, lasting one hour, is performed by projecting the video-score on a wall with the paintings flowing from right to left. The audience will thus have the opportunity to see and hear how the musicians interpret the graphic signs and to follow the score exactly as the musicians who perform it. From the sound point of view, the intention of the work is to create a constant visual and auditory surprise, a continuous succession of unexpected sounds, electronic and acoustic, with sound mixtures typical of some experiments of contemporary classical and sound images linked to some science fiction settings. The score is performed by a variable number of musicians depending on the instrumentalists available.
In this project, the influences of oriental echos are evident, from Japan to India, but also contaminations reminiscent of contemporary European music.The duo proposes rarefied and dense atmospheres, almost from science fiction. The dialogue between the two guitars, electric and classical, develops with singable and dreamy themes, the result of mixtures of different languages. A summary of improvisation, composition and electroacoustic sounds.The electric guitar is played both in a traditional way, with the pick, and with brushes, small music boxes, can lids and dishwashing sponges that produce ancestral sounds. The classical guitar, on the other hand, suddenly gives up the place to synthesizers and electronics with the most modern and unexpected sound.
Rossonirico is a work that has to do with the colors, the sound of the unreal and some ancient Japanese music flavors. A dreamlike territory, where the imaginary is a modern fairy tale that enchants, a rich and multifaceted tonal palette, where the liquid modernity of the electric guitar interacts with sinuous and oblique rhythms and harmonies drawn from an imaginary future. A music poised between the real of sounds and the unreal of the dream and its infinite colors.
