“La scala capovolta” is the new album from venezian composer Enrico Brion and AstroCo(s)micOrk, which is available on all digital platforms and distributed by Angapp Music
The album, somewhat inspired by Italo Calvino‘s Le Cosmicomiche, was created in 2023, the centenary year of the author’s birth. In terms of musical influences, the author claims that the work incorporates orchestral writing, jazz, and freestyle. There’s also my lyrical aspiration and a little grottesco. Perhaps a summary of my first 30 years in music.
An orchestra, the AstroCo(s)micOrk, made up of legs, ottoni, archi, batteria/percussioni, and some soloists, including the voice. Descriptive and evocative are the orchestral moments, which take up much of the album’s 54 minutes, among themes that are revisited and some rhythmic games, but there are also brief episodes of free improvisation: some fulminee incursions of the duo fagotto-percussioni (Matteo Mingotto e Davide Michieletto), indicating the passage in scene of grotteschi to spezzare.
Brion explains that he believes he has created a synthesis of three significant moments in his musical career: classical music, jazz, and, to a lesser extent, free improvisation. In terms of the first influenza, he refers to classic 90s music, the echoes of which can be seen throughout the album. Jazz, on the other hand, is characterized by the sounds of certain instruments and the language of soloists like as flautist Beppe Costantini, trombonist Sean Lucariello, and clarinetist Stefano Gajon. Finally, improvisation represents a playful period for Enrico Brion, free of harmony and structure. Beppe Costantini (flauti), Francesco Socal (clarinetti e sax alto), Lorenzo Ferro (fagotto), Sean Lucariello (flicorno e tromba), Giulio Tullio on trombone, Alberto Azzolini on tuba, Giuseppe Zanella on tuba, Angelica Faccani on violin, Francesca Canova on violin, Gabriele Thai on cello, Davide Michieletto on drums and percussion, and the ensemble’s leader, Enrico Brion, who also plays two melodies. The following were added to the ospiti’s ruolo: Franca Pullia (voce), Erica Scapin (violoncello), Matteo Minotto (fagotto solo), and Stefano Gajon (clarinetto and saxoprano solo), are among the several musicians involved in the project.
