Duo exploring the boundaries of writing and improvisation
with Andrea Mancianti
In the middle of the pandemic Andrea and I embarked on a quest exploring ways to play, compose and improvise together, that would be felt shared in spite of our “traditionally” different roles of performer and composer. Through a series of residences (in Florence, Helsinki, Spoleto, Bruxelles), we developed and recorded a few ideas. Roughly one and a half years after we started, we are happy to present the first record (of what would hopefully turn out as a small series), condensing our time together in Helsinki in 2021.
The new album “Fogliano”, recorded in Spoleto, is already mastered and will be published very soon!
