Description
Liner Notes written by composer Mauro Montalbetti
The growth of a musician is determined by the experience, study, resolution and accuracy with which they face the daily quest for a language and a personal sound. In a group, these fundamental aspects multiply, differentiate and, enriched by the personality of the musicians, converge towards a precise artistic idea. This one is a precious record, for it shows the expressive and artistic maturity achieved by the three talented musicians who take part in the Small Choices project. This is a living and untamed music, through which the poetics of the fragment creates unexpected architectures and exhibits its dazzling richness: free improvisation, original compositions, “impromptu” new readings of fragments extracted mostly from the repertoire of the twentieth century are in perpetual dialogue among them. An inattentive listening to this record would be a mistake. Listening to it only once, a serious sin.
