Artist: NicoNote
Title: Alphabe Dream
Label: Cinedelic Records CNCD29

NicoNote, is a world, a universe between music and performance.
An Italian Siren speaking Austrian. Not definable, she’s a performer, dj selector, a director.
Her path crosses many fields of the underground scenes in Italy and France.
She began in the eighty with a seminal new wave band Violet Eves playing also in France
(La Cigale, Printemps de Bourges, Transmusicales) singing in english, french and italian
and after moving into the theatre scene with Romeo Castellucci director of Socìetas
Raffaello Sanzio with whom she plays in many international tournees. Inventor of
unconventional spaces she collaborated during the ninety with the italian club Cocoricò
creating the Morphine Room with dj David Love Calò.
She lead her own working group NicoNote Dream Action between Italy and France, in
different frames in the world of music, performing arts, clubbing and entertainment,
attending equally important festivals (Actoral Marseilles, Mettre en scene Rennes, vie
Modena, MilanOltre), ramshackle bars, art galleries and foundations like The Fondation
Cartier for contemporary arts in Paris, where she was invited at Le Soiree nomades.
ALPHABET DREAM is her album – produced by NicoNote Dream Action and released by
Cinedelic records with distribution Audioglobe .
It contains materials coming from different performances, original songs and severals
covers reworked in a very personal key , from Tuxedomoon to Henry Purcell, passing
through to the italian poet Luigi Tenco and Robert Schumann or Eisler/Brecht.
The title track was composed with the french musician Mikael Plunian ( Shane Cough,
Fatale).
NicoNote has an independent spirit, visceral and refined at the same time. Evocative, lunar
and melancholy her voice along with her charismatic presence, as a single body floating
in the space of sound.

NicoNote presenta il nuovo Album:
Alphabe Dream
Cinedelic Records CNCD29
Distribuzione: Audioglobe
Produzione by NicoNote Dream Action 2013
NicoNote: Outsider della scena indipendente – performer, dj, inventrice di spazi.
NicoNote alias Nicoletta Magalotti - italiana di madrelingua austriaca - non si
definisce una cantante. Una delle voci più affascinanti del tempo recente a partire
dai mitici esordi nell’underground degli anni ’80 quale voce dei Violet Eves, nella
scuderia del rock italiano insieme a Litfiba , Diaframma solo per citarne alcuni. Da
sempre NicoNote, ha seguito con spirito indipendente il suo richiamo per la scena,
con sperimentazioni vocali, musicali e in teatro, per esempio con la Socìetas
Raffaello Sanzio in giro per il mondo. Negli anni novanta è stata la ideatrice del
mitico Morphine all’interno del Cocoricò insieme a David Love Calò - ambiente
musicale d’avanguardia unico in Italia, dove creò NicoNote ovvero una entità di
suono/presenza e condivisione al di là del mercato, in sintonia con il clima
condiviso. Molte performance e spettacoli da lei scritti e diretti - a cavallo tra musica e teatro creando un vero e proprio linguaggio scenico e compositivo, fatto di percorsi sonori
e luce nella condivisione e nella intimità che NicoNote riesce ad instaurare con il
pubblico ad ogni sua apparizione. Molte collaborazioni con dj /producer della scena
clubbing e nuovi progetti musicali legati al jazz di influsso pulp. Una peculiare luce
interiore che è stata applaudita nei club di culto o nei bar sgangherati o in festivals
e luoghi prestigiosi dell’arte contemporanea come la Fondation Cartier di Parigi. Ha
creato il gruppo di lavoro NicoNote Dream Action col quale produce formati originali
e unici nella linea del suo immaginario. Attraverso un percorso trasversale e non
convenzionale NicoNote ha plasmato la sua cifra dove alla base della sua ricerca
c’è l’incontro con l’altro nella dimensione della musica e della alterità. Vibrante e
incredibilmente comunicativa.
Per parlare della voce di NicoNote bisogna incontrarsi con i suoi mondi ed entrarci
dentro nella misura in cui è consentito a chi ascolta. Solo così è possibile un
incontro con la dimensione di questo Alphabe Dream: album che raccoglie 12
brani provenienti da progetti e momenti differenti, che esprimono un magma/mood
unico. Un viaggio da ascoltare, Alphabe Dream contiene brani originali e alcune
rielaborazioni di brani celebri da Tuxedomoon a Henry Purcell a Luigi Tenco,
passando per Robert Schumann e Eisler/Brecht.
Alphabe Dream affonda le radici in un eros lunare e malinconico, un viaggio nei
reami dell'alterità tra sogno e allucinazione. E’ un magma che si dipana brano dopo
brano come ad episodi, scene di un Alphabe Dream. Un flusso attraverso momenti
di spleen emozionale per suggerire l’idea di un mondo interiore. Una modalità del
sentire e avvertire ciò che ci accade nel profondo raccontando piccole storie,
traducendo stati d’animo.
Lampi d’estate e zucchero bruciato , micro ambienti che si avviluppano tra note e
suggestioni che NicoNote ha nutrito per molto tempo e ora sono in fase di
trasformazione (verso mondi sonori differenti per il prossimo album già in
gestazione).
Alphabe Dream è un album che NicoNote ha prodotto per racchiudere un percorso
ma anche per dare emozione ai suoi fans, che attendono questo disco da anni e
anche per parlare di NicoNote a chi non l’ha ancora scoperta. Ogni brano ha
qualcosa di intenso ma anche indefinibile, dove da subito non è solo la voce a
parlare.
Gesti di suono, pensieri di un infinito presente.
