Maqām

Spiral was born from a simple, almost distracted gesture: a spiral drawn with a pen on a sheet of paper. That imperfect and repetitive mark became the conceptual starting point for a composition entirely created in the digital domain and developed as a circular, constantly evolving process. The sound follows the motion of the spiral, returning to itself without ever being the same, expanding and contracting while always retaining a memory of its origin. The piece was also conceived in relation to a visual dimension, where the drawing is not only an inspiration but a structural element, and the graphic gesture is translated into time, frequency, and sonic density. Spiral explores the relationship between gesture and form, repetition and variation, control and release, inviting the listener into an experience that does not move in a straight line but through successive approaches, like a motion that turns and slowly transforms.

“Maqām” is a piece dedicated to the victims of the Palestinian massacre — and to all lives shattered by acts of collective violence around the world. The title refers to the modal system of Middle Eastern music, a language shaped by memory, emotion, and the subtle tension between grief and resilience. In this composition, the maqām becomes a space of mourning: suspended drones, fractured melodic lines, and unresolved harmonies trace the outline of a sorrow that finds no consolation. The music moves in slow circles, like a ritual of remembrance, allowing each sound to carry the weight of a story that can no longer be told. “Maqām” is conceived with the future in mind, giving room to silence and to mourning. A moment of listening for those who can no longer speak. A place where sound becomes witness.

“The Dead Childrens of Jingle Bells” is a piece dedicated to the memory of the approximately seventy thousand children who lost their lives in Gaza. The composition, 05:45 in length, unfolds as a sonic requiem: electronic textures, distorted guitars, suspended harmonies, and fragile acoustic traces that evoke absence, silence, and interrupted lives. Only twice, and for just a few measures, the melody of Jingle Bells briefly appears. This delicate, almost whispered quotation creates a stark contrast between the festive imagery of our traditions and the horror of the massacre. It is an emotional rupture — a reminder of how the world can keep celebrating while childhood is erased elsewhere. This piece is not meant to be political; it is meant to be human. An invitation to listen, to pause, to remember. To never grow accustomed.

This vinyl features ten tracks of warm, soulful jazz with hints of world music. Each piece was recorded live and entirely improvised, capturing an intimate dialogue between double bass and saxophone. It’s an authentic, warm sonic experience for anyone who loves improvisation and enveloping atmospheres. Recorded in 2024 at the historic Mustilli's cellars. That should give it that nice extra touch of context. Mixing by Maurizio Chiantone and Neil Leonard Mastering by Maurizio Chiantone Cover by Enrico Pofi Poster by Maurizio Chiantone
