专辑简介

The project "Flow Signs" was born by the encounter of Francesco Giannico, electroacoustic musician and video artist, with Theo Allegretti, ambient-jazz pianist and composer, based on a common poetic and musical sensibility that favours natural landscapes, surreal environments and rich interior worlds. The flow can catapult us into a mental state of conscious unawareness, as though being swept away by a current of water and similarly Francesco Giannico (laptop, field recordings, objects, guitar) and Theo Allegretti (grand piano, prepared piano), with an expressive approach, create a single cinematic and visionary stream. The intuitive, improvised and atypical use of the piano, dropped within ambient and minimal atmospheres and enriched by contemporary jazz strokes, moves hovering always on the lookout for a blend with the interventions brought into play by the other artist that are realized in real-time reprocessing of sound material, distended atmospheres created thanks to the help of pads, glitch, rattles, squeaks and sounds of memory. The album was recorded in the countryside of Rome early 2013 and then over the next few months at Francesco’s studio they shared all the subsequent phases of collecting sounds, arranging, and so on, until the final stage of mixing. Thurston Moore (from Sonic Youth) wrote about Francesco Giovanni : “This young Italian electro-acoustic composer in whose work we can hear tendrils of everything from Luigi Nono to Toru Takemitsu... filled with odd details, the music is fascinating.”
