Ephemeral #2:
Gianni Lenoci followed the usual way he use from last three years: just small notated fragments as starting point to jump into improvisation. These small
notated fragments are a kind of " prolific material". They can be used in several ways: combination, permutation, inversion and so forth, in the same way a sculptor manipulate his materials. Gianni
showed to musicians the general gist of the composition and through the process of rehearsal and human relationship the group went to a kind of "structure" with sections, musical figures and
gestures, signals and orchestration."squeeze what you have 'til last and then go to the other corner." (Mal Waldron)
Hocus_Pocus Improvisers Orchestra:
The Hocus_Pocus Improvisers Orchestra explores the relationships between improvisation and musical writing in its various forms, including the use of graphic scores, traditional&alternative notations, game pieces and conduction. The ensemble plays music from the more radical fringes of the contemporary repertoire (Cage, Maderna, Bussotti, Stockhausen, Ferrari among others), as well as compositions by Gianni Lenoci, totally improvised music and free jazz.
