Eighteen strings, little hammers, propellers, springs, separated output for each string, objects stolen from everyday life. Every performance is lived through the practice of free improvisation, and represents for Paolo the chance to mould the sounds generated by his ‘orchestra’-guitar. Creating shimmering drones and bass-lines, Angeli bows, strikes, plucks and strums while producing rhythmic musical atmospheres by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly. The result is an ever changing portrait where, in real time, can be found remnants of the ‘canto a chitarra’, tasgia choirs, free jazz, punk noise, drum & bass, avant pop.
This concerts is presented in collaboration with Istituta Italiano di Cultura – Toronto.
The post-show reception is made possible with the support of the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver.
