Read "When the sleeping fish turn red and the skies start to sing in C major I will follow you to the end" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

Jason Roebke Octet: Cinema Spiral

Read "Cinema Spiral" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If entropy is a scientific theory that describes how all things in nature tend towards a gradual decline and disorder, then Jason Roebke's Octet is the anti-entropy.

Una serie di concerti memorabili aveva lasciato il segno nel cuore e nella mente degli spettatori ma per il duo formato da Gabriele Mitelli e Pasquale Mirra sembrava inevitabile il confronto con il disco, con la sua fisicità, i suoi limiti, le sue regole, le sue ...
