PRESS:
Three CDs (one
of which double) for a debut. It is not logical, it is not rational.
Prudence would have recommended a more cautious approach, more smaliziatos.
But music born from the EMOtions, in antithesis with rationality. His music
derives from different experiences, and in different languages it is expressed.
Doesn't surprise then the variety of these three "artist's tests", different among
them but tied up together from the same ingredients of base. In common they have
the roots, that sink from the Mediterranean, to the Indian subcontinent, there you
find origin in the music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays and in that of Joe Zawinul,
as much as in the bagpipes of south of Italy or in the African percussions.
"Awakenings" could be the sonorous column of the film of our
life, done of high and low, of frantic moments and of breaks of reflection.
"Colors" is the trip of the dream, when the soul detaches from
the body and vague in search of herself, improvising the present.
"Sounds Lands" it is the sun, the sea, that feeling of lacking
happiness never of a pinch of melancholy that gives the conscience of the reality,
as pleasant as can be.
The percussive element entirely remains (how can't this be real for an
artist that is a drummer?), discreet but always present in conclusive way, so much
apparently simple to be terribly difficult to get, so much determinant to be been
the truth compositions sing.
So what to do of a music that is not able to sing or to dance?
You listens.
