new tone press release...
derek bailey: chitarre elettriche & acustiche
andrea centazzo: percussioni


reprint in cd of the 1977 recordings of the duets between derek bailey and andrea centazzo, that originally were released on the lp drops issued by ictus records.this is considered one of the best performance of the period of the english guitarist for its explosive clarity, dialogic energy and overflowing imagination.

if this is true deserves a large merit the choice of the two musicians to work inside compositional structures, sometimes very opened, that channelled the creative energy of the performers. the many sides of drops are created by the restraint of performing limits with specific choices of timbres, dynamics, tempos for every track.

as centazzo points out in the linear notes «we explored some aspects of our improvisational art, gleaned the best elements from our baggage of music memories and exposed them clearly and confidently. therefore these are compositions of ... improvised music».

andrea centazzo: percussion, percussion synthesizer
alvin curran: synthesizer, piano, tromba
evan parker: soprano & tenor sax

this cd presents a live recording by three outstanding musicians recorded in 1977. centazzo had collaborated both with alvin curran in duo and with evan parker in duo, trio and sextet before this recording.

alvin curran, american composer living in rome, member of the ensemble musica elettronica viva (along with fredrick rzewski, steve lacy, richard teitelbaum a.o.) was related to the post-cagean school and to the improvised music.

evan parker, english, coming from the tradition of jazz, had developing a very personal style deeply rooted in the total improvisation.

the idea of centazzo to call them to form a trio was a very successful one. as a trio the group performed many concerts in italy and recorded several hours of music. the three different languages of the musicians found "a common ground of expression in which the stylistic elements from different musical backgrounds came together and created a unique blend for that era", as centazzo describes the experience.the three mixes the electronic sounds of analog synthesizer with the acoustic instruments producing a very special combination in which is very difficult to recognize the sources of the sound.

the cd is enriched by an unissued track. a second cd including music completely unissued will follow later on in this same series.
