Label: Black Sweat Records

待望のピアノソロ・アルバム、お見逃しなく!!ジム・オルークを含む様々な音楽家との共演、またソロではDie Schachtel等に音源を残し、そして2020年の個人的ベストリリース[ISASOLO!]が当店にてかなりの人気を博したイタリア人ピアニスト/コンポーザーGiovanni Di Domenico。ミニマルな作曲にフォーカスした真骨頂的ピアノソロ・アルバムがBlack Sweat Recordsより出版!![ISASOLO!]に比べ少し重たく冷たい印象のパターンが使われており、ショパンやサティのような美しくも憂鬱な空気感で進行する6曲を収録。フィジカルはLPフォーマットのみのリリース。







Giovanni Di Domenico has now achieved a personal and unmistakable style within contemporary minimalism. His music always expresses a state of concentration, of recollection and contemplation toward a focal node. Repetition is experienced as alchemical state, as truth contained in the small nuances of change, in a crescendo that never reaches a climax. The atmosphere is intuition and is made up of a few compositional touches. To compose is to make synthesis, to unearth purity, simplicity and exactness. This new work for solo piano is almost an imaginary novel...the notes seem to tell of deserted streets, lonely walks in the night or runs down stairs. In this sense the musician is the writer of silence and the fleeting moment. And so, amid slow chords like Chopin or Satie, moods oscillate between brio and allegro, evoking the lightness of love, greater sadness and melancholy, as well as more restless and agitated ostinatos, the product of a more cathartic worldview.
