ALBUM NOTES by Roberto Laneri:
I founded this quartet in 2016, both to realize new compositions and to revisit old ones, some of which actually going back to the seventies. This repertoire finds a common ground in the jazz area, although following different and sometimes roundabout ways to get there: after all we all know that the roads to jazz may be infinite and infinitely personal. In my case these roads are many of the “other” musics I have met and practised: from European classical music to American minimal music, from the Northern Indian tradition to Australian aboriginal music, plus any music from any time and place which has captured my interest for any reasons.
The result is a music with a strong compositional identity (i.e. many written parts) and a strong oral component as well, leading to a series of impromptu decisions idiomatic to each piece, as different approaches to improvisation.
Therefore each piece may be listened to as a ticket to both real, specific soundscapes (Southern California, Mexico, India, the desert) and purely mental ones (the Great South, ancient Egypt). Last but not least, my thanks to the wonderful musicians in the quartet, at ease in a great variety of contexts and open to the “winds of change.”
Composer(s)
Roberto Laneri a composer, wind player (clarinets, saxophones, didjeridoo) and overtone singer. Studied philosophy on Rome and music in the U.S. (Ph.D., University of California, San Diego). Among his teachers, Lejaren Hiller, Charles Mingus, William O. Smith, John Silber and Keith Humble. After many years of activity in the field of contemporary music, now his music defies definitions and current space-time dimensions. Recordings with Charlie Mingus and Peter Gabriel as well on his own (Two Views of the Amazon, Anadyomene, Memories of the Rain-Forest, The Tail of the Tiger, Sentimental Journey, Escher, Breath, Winds of Change). Has published two books on the theory and practice of overtone singing: La voce dell’arcobaleno and Nel cielo di Indra. A member of the Budapest Club, founded by Edwin Laszlo for a planetary consciousness, has taught at the Florence Conservatory until 2011.

Paone, Giuppi (Vocalist), has had her music training in Italy, during a time of great cultural excitement, exploring various types of vocal techniques and expressions and seeking a personal synthesis among her several interests: Jazz improvisation, the technical control of Classical Singing, Indian Raga, the vocal character of regional Italian peasant traditions, various ethnic vocal expressions, the contemporary music approach, voice and gesture and finally voice teaching. A collaborator with Roberto Laneri for over 25 years, offering her voice for his multi-faceted music.
