Maurizio Brunod: Bad Epoque

AAJ Italy Staff By AAJ Italy Staff

View read count
Questo CD in solo del chitarrista Maurizio Brunod sembra spostare le coordinate del suo GPS molto a nord, forse dalle parti di Terje Rypdal, di John Surman, di David Torn o dei fiordi scandinavi.

Dopo molti anni in cui la versione acustica dello strumento è stata prevalentemente utilizzata dal chitarrista piemontese nelle occasioni in cui si esibiva in solo, per questa occasione sono saltate fuori le amate chitarre elettriche Fender e Gibson e gli amplificatori, interfacciati fra di loro da una loop station e da una manciata di pedali.

Anche la versione di "Blue in Green" risente di questa scelta di clima e risulta algida ed elegante, perfettamente inserita fra le composizioni originali di Brunod. La loop station sapientemente utilizzata consente sovrapposizioni, duetti, contrappunti, botta e risposta. Per Maurizio Brunod è una sorta di dialogo lirico ed onirico con se stesso che ci vede spettatori dal buco della serratura.
