Album Description
“…everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear.” (From “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino; translated by William Weaver - Harcourt Brace & Company, 1974) This third work of the Vito Liturri Trio projects the group into a new dimension that the suggestions of Calvino's "Invisible Cities" transform into imaginative sound paths through which one has the impression of entering an unknown space; the literary text becomes an opportunity and a metaphor for physical and introspective journeys towards places that are kaleidoscopic projections and representations, in which each of us can find their own intimate space. The use of electronics gets more incisive than in the past, the sound discovers acoustic landscapes of great emotional impact; the timbre research amplifies the sound range of the three soloists, as if each of them had an electronic alter ego. The jazz inspiration emerges in the complexity and variety of the solos, compositions within compositions, characterized by lucid inventions. However, richness is never disorder. Everything goes in the direction of a gradual accompaniment of the listener, until they become part of the group. The sound space develops into a place of the soul: the cities become labyrinths within which we also have the possibility of finding our way. Not wanting to describe the corners, the alleys or the buildings that make up these cities, the music that accompanies us lets us savour the emotional space that inhabits them. A journey within - an oxymoron of the journey itself -, which, instead of separating, brings closer. It is a journey into the depths, where music provides intimate and visionary suggestions, rather than destinations. (Clelia Sguera)
