about

GIANNI GEBBIA
soprano,baritone & cornetto saxophones, Moog synthesizer, sound objects.

ARGO
Argo Panoptes in the Greek mythology it refers to a giant with many eyes through
which he was able to see and control all the surroundings.
Argo was also Ulysse’s beloved dog and the name of the ship of the Argonauts.

CONCHIGLIE ( Shells) Sea shells were used traditionally in the folkmusic from Sicily particularly around the area of Messina. Creating some really weird ensemble sound textures. Here I've tried to reproduce this in some ways with my own cornetto sax.

LA DOUCEREUSE SARABANDE based on piece for lute by the french composer Charles Mouton (1626-1699).

CANTOS I
Remake of the first part of the XI book of the Odissey. Describing Ulysse’s trip to hell with his companions.Original voice recording by Ezra Pound.

ALLAMANDA CATHARTICA
commonly called golden trumpet, is a species of flowering plant of the genus Allamanda in the family Apocynaceae. It is native to Brazil. This plant is cited in Flora Brasiliensis by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

DESTAPE
Dedicated to the great antrophological insights of Michael Taussig

PETITES PERCEPTIONS: The wonderful and sophisticated Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz reached his philosophical peak with this wonderful concept of the small perceptions and the monads.

COMPOSSIBILITA'
Another great concept used by Leibniz indicating the relation between two different possibilities at the same time. Dedicated to the music of Julius Eastman (1940-1990) whom I recently discovered and felt deeply inspiring.
