Opus Soup: Opus Soup
Sono con lui il DJ G-Love, il cantante Matteo Gosi, il saxofonista Achille Succi e Paolo Botti, impegnato alla viola, al banjo e al dobro. Le atmosfere iniziali ci portano dalle parti degli Scritti Politti e altre band inglesi di fine anni ottanta, per poi spostarsi nel mondo della musica hip hop densa di loop, caratterizzata da suggestivi richiami elettronici e condita di piccoli stilemi jazzistici in maniera accattivante e moderna.
La sensazione è quella di essere immersi in un open space dove le cose si sovrappongono, sfiorandosi e spingendosi dolcemente, come sullo schermo di un iPad colorato di sfumature vivaci. Sempre alla ricerca dell'onda magica che sostiene il groove all'infinito, come surfisti del suono dei giorni nostri.
