CINZIA TEDESCO
"Like a Bob Dylan"


Why a project dedicated to Bob Dylan? Poet… singer… songwriter… voice of suffering humanity… conscience of a generation… Dylan is all this and more. After moving for years through many different musical worlds, from blues to jazz, I found in Dylan a whole new world to explore in my own way. Through jazz I found that I could discover the soul, the immortal sonorities of Dylan the musician, and I could feel the most intimate subtleties of Dylan the poet…

ENZO AVITABILE
"Napoletana"


Napoletana” is an artistic project sprung forth from the enormous desire to bring back the old Neapolitan lyricism, its purest and most poetic expression, always guarding itself against the risk of being set aside and catching dust or finding to have been overshadowed by a deceiving and stereotyped folkloristic postcard, which is the image that has always been portrayed all over the world: a city, Napoli, where “appearing” means more than “being”. A research-project that reconnects, with simplicity, to the sources of sounds, made of work-songs and villanelle, but, at the same time, of songs that are totally unedited, etched in the cement of the city, with eyes fixed on the past and a heart that breathes in the scent of the future.

GIORGIO LI CALZI
+
ALEKSANDR NEVSKIJ


New score to "Aleksandr Nevskij", a masterpiece of soviet cinema, directed by Sergej Ejzenštejn in 1938.
Music composed and produced by Giorgio Li Calzi (trumpet, vocoder and electronics) on a new editing of this movie (55'), cut by himself together with Kinoetika (Torino).
About the video cut, Giorgio chose principally the epic and geometrical-constructivist scenes of the battle and the battle array.
Obviously this work doesn't aim to compare with the work of Prokof'ev, who wrote the original music for the movie: it's simply a tribute to the people who resisted the foreign oppressors and chased them away through the eternal metaphor of Aleksandr Nevskij, the prince who in year 1240 led the Russian army to resist the Teutonic invasors.

 


THE PATH OF LIGHT
Ritual music of the Tibetan Bon
(BOOK+CD)


This CD offers a rare selection of bonpo ritual chants and music, recorded live inside the temple of the Nepalese monastery of Triten Norbutse, during the spring of 2006. Besides the chants relating to preliminary practices of purification, the CD also includes a rare invocation of Yeshe Walmo, the entity who protects bonpo teaching, as well as what is the real treasure of this collection the collective recitation of the self-sacrificial chö rite, according to bonpo spiritual tradition.

MILAGRO ACUSTICO
"Siqiliah - Terra d'Islam"


Milagro Acustico are still tripping in the most flourishing period of mediaeval Sicily, in the “Garden Isle” where Arab poets and travellers lived during and after the Islamic dominance of the Mediterranean sea. Poetry, Music and travel-tales mix up in a suggestive mixture of  a Middle East flavour, enriched by the sounds of the Mediterranean musical instruments like Baglama, Ney, Tambur, Daf, Darbuka, Santur, Kanun, etc. Milagro Acustico resurrect the less-known historic pages of Sicilian  Islamic tradition, searching for the common rules that have made the island an example of tolerance and co-existence of different cultures and religions throughout centuries.

 


ROBERTA ALLOISIO & ORCHESTRA BAILAM
"Lengua serpentina"


Lengua Serpentina” is the first solo album by Roberta Alloisio whit “Orchestra Bailam”.
Our purpose was to create a new authentic product, rooted in the traditions but open to spirit of our time.
It seems a good thing to have an ideal dialogue whit all that cultures got in touch with Genoa from age to age, more than ever an actual comparison thanks to the continuous presence in the city of many different stranger communities, that create a new language, a new kind of relationship with the people, the story, the culture of the city.

 


SOS
"Cammenann' "


Original pieces of Mediterranean sound and Neapolitan lyrics, where examples and contaminations melt down to create a half-cast and “strange” rock…
They finally get to a very personal way in music, joining “pomiglianese” and Neapolitan cultures including Egyptian, Nigerian, Senegalese and Algerian sounds.
Something there wasn’t and made possible with a styles, races, cultures and traditions melting pot.
Finally, searched out by CNI Music from “myspace.com”, the band starts a new adventure named “Cammenann”, a full length album of 11 original tracks and 1 on iTunes.
For all the fans of the genre: the Neapolitan Sound is back!!!!

LUCIO DAMASCELLI
"Il pieno e il vuoto"


Following "Equilibrio Instabile" (2005), the new album by Lucio Damascelli, “Il Pieno e il Vuoto” (“The Full and the Empty”), features 13 new compositions for solo guitar.
As in the first album, many tracks are influenced by ancient and classical music, other by acoustic blues music, reminding a minimal attitude with ambient, progressive, jazz, gothic, ethnical …. influences. The mood and the inspirations in this album are similar to the ones of the first release, and create dreamy atmospheres, but even if the music is completely acoustic in spirit, a moderate use of effects and electronics completes the new project.

LUCIO DAMASCELLI
"Equilibrio instabile"


The album “Equilibrio Instabile” (“Unstable Equilibrium”) (2005) features 14 original compositions for guitar solo performance, which could be defined as “songs without words” for its dreamy melodic licks and mood.
The compositions’ structures stand between (ancient and) classical and blues music, flavoured with jazz and rock influences.

KLEZROYM
"25 aprile -

Live in Fossoli"


In Fossoli still now are visible traces of the Transit and Police Camp (Polizei- und Durchgangslager). It was utilised by the SS as antechamber of the Nazi-Lager.
Klezroym were invited by Associazione Ex-Campo Fossoli to celebrate in a so particular place the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation from Nazi-Fascism.
Klezroym contribute with their music to honorate the memory of a so important event for our Nation’s history, and to reassert the importance od these irremissible values like freedom, democracy and brotherhood between different people. This cd contains the live recording of that unforgettable concert, for us the best way to celebrate Kleroym’s Ten Year of music career.

ALIBIA
"Tra tutto e niente"


Aliběa began their career in 2004 with the release of "Confini", an album that was warmly received by the Italian press, and following their notable success during the more important Italian Festivals for new artists (Arezzo Wave, Rock Targato Italia, Sonica, Tendenze, Feedback). In addition "Musica" di Repubblica (the best of the national music magazines) labelled them as the best young band of 2003 and as the most representative band of the Arezzo Wave Music Festival.
Aliběa are the authors of a refined Indye-pop genre, that combines piano, electric guitars, electronic, synthetic and minimal sounds, with two different souls and voices (male and female). The year 2006 is witness to the release of their second album "Tra Tutto E Niente", produced by Giacomo Fiorenza (one of Italy's top rock producers) from the Alpha Dept in Bologna. The album will be released in Italy in the spring of 2006

REMO ANZOVINO
"Dispari"


Remo Anzovino’s music goes fast. You need to be quick to catch it, to know it. It goes through the years with an infectious dance step. It starts from the images by Nanuk the eskimo (a movie by the Canadian Robert Flaherty, 1920) and moves itself through the history very fast, from the German Expressionism to the movie stories by Pabst and Murnau, from the tragedies by Louis Brook to the dragging photo passions by Tina Modotti, touching the cornerstones of our contemporary sensibility. Cinema is probably only a pretext to play, write music and modern songs.
