Album Description

“Camera Con Camera makes refreshingly original and highly evocative music.” “The bass guitar conveys a wholly unique vibe in Giacomo’s hands.” - Bill Milkowski, author of the liner notes UDNIE presents a set of music originally commissioned to accompany a dance piece by choreographer Chia- Ying Kao. Subsequently, the music was developed into a standalone set of compositions to be recorded and performed in a trio setting with Rema Hasumi and Todd Neufeld. The trio is called Camera Con Camera and the polysemy of the word ‘camera’ suggests soundscapes imagined to breathe well in a small room, with intentional restraint and focus on the objectiveness of multilayered tones and distillate melodic statements. For contrast, the recording opens with three solo bass guitar nocturnes recorded by Merega, which instead feature extreme virtuosic density and thickness.
