Keith & Julie Tippett, Capra Vaccina, Tofani - A Mid Autumn Night's Dream (2019)

Sometimes the creative process of production is truly astonishing. I wondered, listening to the old recordings of Keith Tippett or Lino's first Aktuala album, how they might sound if everyone were members of a single band. So, I took the opportunity to organize this performance in my hometown for the "Musiche Nuove a Piacenza Festival". I had worked with all four musicians before and felt that it could work by having them play together. They were all so generous that they agreed to turn this project into a new band, and I'm sure there will be more to come in the future. It was truly a magical evening. The four musicians had 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. A transmission from soul to soul between them and the audience. This recording is a witness to that magic. No tricks, no overdubs. It is spontaneous music at its best, well beyond any genre, in which the four living legends of avant-garde and new music describe the emotion of an autumn night. An extraordinary masterpiece recorded live with the quality of Alberto Callegari of Elfo Studio.
