ELIA

Inspired by the Italian artist Alessandro Greggio ‘Elia’ (1968-2005), this new collaboration between myself and saxophonist Tom Scott is intended to be a nod to Elia's spontaneous and witty attitude to life, as well as a mark of respect to the vibrant and profound side of his artistic oeuvre.
In particular, the album is influenced by an anecdote told to me by Elia who not having prepared anything for his final degree art show, showed-up in front of the examiners with a small wooden gate that he had found in a hallway nearby - or so the story goes. He recounted that he left the gate untouched and presented it as his final work in the form of a story.
From this perspective, I composed the arrangement for the music by connecting the letters E, L, I, A on some of the short stories written by him in the 90s. The resulting graphic drawings were over - imposed onto a score, which was consequently interpreted by Tom Scott in one take, without having previously read it.

The result is a combination of unforeseen shifts, unpredicted repetitions and surprising longer meditative segments. The tracks presented in this album are the undefiled result of a single studio session that can be described as a way of mapping and intertwining the emotional flows of Elia’ way of being, his constant instinctual gesture and chance approach attitude to make work.

This idea leaves his work deliberately ‘unresolved’ whilst attempting to catch new thoughts and actions dawning at a creative crossing. ... more
