Description
The active observation to which the title of Genera’s first album refers is that of a participatory and attentive gaze that contrasts widespread indifference with an experimental attitude, a process of trial and error that can allow us to give worth to any possible experience drawing valuable lessons.
It’s the same spirit that animates the music of the album, recorded in one single session after a period of research lasting several months. At the time of recording, the trio chose to reduce any predetermined structural constraints to the minimum necessary to give each piece a basic character, leaving the rest entirely up to the improvisational flow. The strength of the album is therefore that of combining extreme freshness and a great awareness of the sound and formal elements used, with a remarkable sense of listening and interplay.
Despite the strong underlying stylistic coherence, the eight tracks of the album each explore different and varied sound territories, behaviors, and atmospheres, from free-form explosions to more intimate parts, from vigorous and deconstructed grooves to sections whose rarefaction approaches that of ambient music, benefiting from an extensive timbral palette in which the sounds of acoustic instruments are expanded by the use of non-conventional techniques and combined with those of electronic devices.
