NOT JUST A SOUNDSCAPE
Can music shape a landscape?
The trio New Landscapes leaves this question open, relying on the publicís
awareness, to choose a repertoire capable of shaping and designing a series of
sound and emotional images that constantly evolve.
It is a recent phenomenon where concert festivals are organized in places and
at unusual times. In this context the environmental component is very strong in
the execution, and the musician is called to "play the environment." And
recently, the theme of soundscape has taken center stage in Italy.
It is interesting to note that in ethno-musical, historical documents, sounds and
noises of everyday infiltrate the music. It is a sort of fusion of background noise,
soundscape and musical object. The music appears to be in a relationship of
osmosis with the environment that created and shaped it over time.
NEW LANDSCAPES
The Trio was founded because of a need of exploring the expressive
possibilities of a chamber ensemble in which instruments and musicians from
different backgrounds coexist. Baroque and contemporary music, improvisation,
and original compositions of the trio musicians become possible variations of a
single way of conceiving music: the search for a sound and a balanced and
evocative gesture.
Three musicians, whose curiosity is probably the main characteristic, come from
rich and varied experiences: from ancient music to jazz, from traditional music
to contemporary sounds. But is not the "contamination" at the heart of the Trio,
rather the natural quest for playing together, looking for the common traits of
an universal language.
It has been recognized through the
centuries in the tradition of song and
instrumental composition, that a kind
of cross-over genre is achieved with
the simplicity and clarity of musical
and textual ideas. Every era gives us
songs and melodies suggestive of
their disarming simplicity.
There is something that unifies and
approximates that effect of the vocal
and musical worlds of artists who
have lived in different centuries and
latitudes. And their musical
production ends up placed in the
same kind of aesthetic horizon: one
of timelessness.
