Sometimes the creative process of producing is amazing. I wondered, listening at old recording by Keith Tippett or Lino’s Aktuala 1st album, how could they sound if members of a band, like new Ovary Lodge.
So I took the chance to organize this performance in my hometown for “Musiche
Nuove a Piacenza Festival”. I had worked before with all the four musicians and I felt it could work having them play together. They all were so generous that accept to make this new band and I am sure there will be more in the future.
It really was a magical evening. The four musicians never played together before and that was exactly my plan: just a brief sound check.
The music was purely spontaneous and flowed freely like thoughts. Moving from soul to soul between them and the audence. This recording is witness to that magic. No Tricks, No overdubs.
It is spontaneous music at his best, far beyond any genre where four living legends in avantgarde and new music describe the emotion of the
autumn night.
A stunning masterpiece recorded in demonstration - like quality by Alberto Callegari of Elfo Studio.
