POLLOCK PROJECT
Marco Testoni, Nicola Alesini, Max Di Loreto
(2012 - Tre
Lune Records)
Marco Testoni
(caisa
drums, percussions, keyboards, programming loop)
Nicola Alesini
(soprano sax, popular clarinett, programming loop)
Max Di Loreto (drums,
percussions)
Visionary ambient-jazz for free spirits. a musical project born from the encounter between Marco Testoni and Nicola Alesini. The evocative and visionary aspects of their own personal approaches to music brought them together in an unprecedented artistic collaboration, and this has now been enriched by the magic of wind instruments and the physicality of percussion and caisa drum, combined in a captivating and enthralling way. Always navigating without fear or formalism, in the atmospheres of
world music and
jazz improvisation with hints of
ambient, minimalism and
art-rock to create a marvellous magically evocative mix, with the
Pollock Project project Testoni & Alesini have now enhanced their musical palette with some intense new
Surrealist.
Their latest album, which is a musical tribute to the beauty of free creativity, allusions to contemporary art are fundamental. The title of the album refers above all to the improvisational aspects of
Jackson Pollock’s practice of action painting, but there is also a tribute to
Marcel Duchamp in the track “Unnecessary”, as well as “Rivoli 59”, a piece dedicated to the artistic experiences of the organized squatters in Paris. Finally, “Songlian” is inspired by the subtle atmosphere of the celebrated Chinese film Raise the
Red Lantern. Last but not least, the cover of the album features a watercolour painting by
Antonia Carmi.
