Laura Sciocchetti - Characters (2020)

A gallery of characters, real and imaginary, who have left an emotional and musical mark that inspires new music.
The quartet created by Laura Sciocchetti, with Lewis Saccocci, Giuseppe Romagnoli and Valerio Vantaggio has recently recorded the first album that will be released by Filibusta Records in 2020.

Musical influences that draw on contemporary jazz blend with nineteenth-century (Emily Dickinson) and current (Nobel laureate Wislawa Szymborska) literary suggestions, in the constant search for a sound that alternates dreamlike dimensions with dense masses of sound, in an attempt to transcend the traditional song form in the name of a wider compositional and expressive freedom.
