Read "Start from Scratch" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Fresco del suo diploma al conservatorio di Monopoli, ottenuto anche svolgendo una ricerca sulla musica di Henry Threadgill, il giovane chitarrista e compositore tarantino Livio Bartolo ha approfittato del tempo e degli stimoli offerti dalla pandemia per sviluppare un complesso lavoro per la sua formazione, la Variable Unit, caratterizzata dalla composizione strumentale piuttosto singolare: accanto a lui, infatti, ci sono il violino di Anais Drago, tre fiati --Andrea Campanella ai clarinetti, Aldo Davide Di Caterino ai flauti e Pietro Cobascio ...

Francesca Remigi: The Human Web

Read "The Human Web" reviewed by Troy Dostert


Drummer Francesca Remigi describes herself as a “polyhedric" percussionist, and a careful listen to her sophomore release, The Human Web, indicates that the adjective is entirely apt. Possessing not only impressive technique but also undeniably ambitious compositional abilities, Remigi's many-sided creativity is amply manifest on the eight far-ranging pieces on this endlessly surprising, and often stirring, album. Remigi has broad conceptual interests here, with particular emphasis on social media's detrimental impact on self and society. It's a multifaceted ...

Michael Gregory Jackson, Francesca Remigi & Oles Brothers

This show reminds me of a calzone stuffed with just about every imaginable filling. Appropriately, there's a wonderful new release from Italian drummer Francesca Remigi and her band Archipelagos. This is definitely one of the finest debuts of 2021—deep, contemporary and socially aware. The very respected guitarist, Michael Gregory Jackson, is also debuting his Frequency Equilibrium Koan, the difference being this music was recorded back in the 70s during the loft scene. Julius Hemphill, Abdul Wadud and Pheeroan akLaff were ...

Francesca Remigi: impegno sociale, innovazione e crescita

Read "Francesca Remigi: impegno sociale, innovazione e crescita" reviewed by Serena Antinucci


Il primo disco della batterista e compositrice Francesca Remigi, Il labirinto dei topi, realizzato insieme al gruppo Archipélagos è un progetto complesso e importante, in cui si osserva la società e si esprimono le sue profonde contraddizioni. La batterista di Bergamo ci fa ascoltare il deterioramento delle logiche capitalistiche, lo sfaldamento del sistema sociale e culturale e instilla nella mente, goccia dopo goccia, l'urgenza della riflessione che diviene poi un'occasione conoscitiva. La Remigi richiama il pensiero di scrittori, filosofi, storici ...
