Tommaso Iacoviello - Birds (2025)

We live in an increasingly noisy world, where natural sounds are often drowned out by artificial noise. BIRDS invites us to stop for a moment, close our eyes and listen to what surrounds us. Imagine immersing ourselves in an ancient forest, hearing the rustle of leaves in the wind, the melodious song of birds and the slow flow of a stream or the flat calm of a pond. These sounds, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, are a real hidden treasure. A sound heritage that tells thousand-year-old stories and connects us deeply with nature. BIRDS is an invitation to explore a new world, where nature is not only something to look at, but also something to listen to and play. We tried to capture the most intimate nuances of the soundscapes that surround us, transforming them into original compositions. These sounds become the raw material where improvisation blends with songs and soundscapes to rediscover the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Soundscapes are a priceless heritage, which tells the story of a place and its communities. Protecting them means protecting our identity and our well-being. Listening to them means listening to ourselves.

BIRDS is the first album by trumpeter Tommaso Iacoviello. An invitation to explore nature not only something to look at, but also something to listen to and play. With his quartet he tried to capture the most intimate nuances of the soundscapes that surround us, transforming them into original compositions.”
