Part 1 | Part 2 The entire world was in lockdown during the COVID-19 crisis, and of course, that included musicians.

Ivo Perelman: Special Edition Box: Procedural Language

by Mark Corroto
Ivo Perelman and Matthew Shipp: how many duo recordings have their been? Five? A dozen?

Matthew Shipp: The Piano Equation

by Giuseppe Segala
È difficile non riconoscere fin dalle prime battute lo stile pianistico di Matthew Shipp: l'articolazione del tocco che combina geometrie complesse, dure, spigolose, e volate leggere, quasi noncuranti su alcuni passaggi; l'indugiare sulle sonorità scure di certi accordi e cluster; il soffermarsi su motivi ostinati, liberandosi di essi attraverso virate repentine di atmosfera; i contrasti dinamici. ...
