It gave me even more satisfaction, though, the confirmation that amongst all these Luca Francioso stands out for the quality of the executions, the always creative inspiration and the maturity of his work.

C'ERA UNA VOLTA IN ROMAGNA - Danze tribali del popolo del Liscio

€ 18,00

C'ERA UNA VOLTA IN ROMAGNA, danze tribali del popolo del Liscio (trans.: Once Upon A Time in Romagna, Tribal Dances of the Liscio Style's People) Velut Luna CVLD 252 Introduction The idea of this LP starts from a sincere curiosity about our cultural roots and is the result of a musical journey that brought us to cast aside all the xenophilous trends that, in the arts, seemed to afflict us. The recovery of this music is done with great creativity. The language used to approach the songs is the language of traditional jazz, but the sound, with keyboards and electric guitars, gives some rock nuances to the whole product. Until a short time ago, and still now, the word “Liscio” was associated, in the imagination of most people, to a ignorant subculture made of elderly gentlemen and prosperous ladies, who gathered in shiny clothes dancing to this corny music. The exhumation of Liscio and its people may sound as the discovery of a cannibal tribe from Indochina, with all its rituals and practices. The stereotype helps, but there is so much more to be said about this world: amazing orchestras, led by great composers and musicians such as Carlo Brighi, Secondo Casadei, Ivano Nicolucci, Castellina-Pasi, were there for 50 years, playing 35 concerts per month to please their audience. The people from Romagna is marked from this story beyond repair, and this is true both for those who are part of this world and for those who snubs it . The Romagna folk music has nothing to envy to other Folk Music styles from all over the world, which enjoy greater consideration, such as blues, tango, salsa and musette...on the contrary...

L'UOMO CHE CAMMINA

€ 18,00

The Walking Man by Saverio Tasca and AlterArco During a conversation one afternoon, Saverio Tasca told me about one of his mountain walks through the paths of the Great War. He felt it needed to be translated into a music project that crosses the past and the present. The main elements of the story would be the journey, the idea of “The Walking Man” and the water flowing within the story. The walk represents a man’s effort going on a journey. Today, those who walk along the Great War paths remember the anguish of the refugees’ exodus; the soldiers’ marches; those that advanced to the front; the ones dearly departed and those who made it home. The journey represents the passing of time. Through the experience “The Walking Man” discovers his own story, humbly retracing the steps of others, starting from the evocation of timeless emotions. Time and Man are in fact linked by the same signs, paths, traces and choices permeated through contrasting emotions. Love. Hatred. Compassion. Brutality. Welcoming. Indifference. Generosity. Egoism. Death and Life. Also associated with the walk is the landscape itself that reflects and answers both emotions evocated and man’s choices. During the Great War, not only men were transformed. Landscapes too were affected and cities were decimated. Some parts of the landscape assumed a sacred identity through sacrifice. From the impressive sacrariums that hold the memory, to the small and silent cemeteries scattered with crosses. From improvised burials with heaps of war memories, to the Piave’s paint of soldiers’ blood through metamorphosis that became the heroic Piave. The landscape is a legacy that lives through time – ever changing like the story - like life itself. The walk ideally became the Piave’s one – the river as an existence that symbolises the passing of time and story. Like the water that becomes the river, from the springs to the mouth. In the music, the only principal character identifications are the steps traced on his journey. It is generic but relevant. “The Walking Man”, in research, puts himself in “other steps” in which every listener can relate to. The music catches the idea of rhythmic scans reproduced from a step, or of a river flowing through everything - like time and life that become eternity. It is a travel that can be repeated for infinity. The proposed sound travels on an alternate time flow, reflecting today’s suggestions, breathing in life to memorable places of the landscape, and those of yesterday that inspire emotions first. It is all these emotional perceptions that overcome the opposition’s trenches, returning the same dignity to the winners and the vanquished - joined by the same deep human roots of the common experience of a dramatic destiny. From the dawn of war to the destructive drama, the tale in music flows on an unending rhythm until the mouth and the time that slows down flows with instilling emotions. It is a sign of new distances between memories, in the middle of what we were and what we are today - also following that event which was the true gulf of the new century.

TWO COUNTRIES ONE HEART

€ 18,00

Velut Luna, an independent record label company, was created on September 6, 1995. From the outset, its main pillar and driving force has been the promotion of young talent, with the support of professionals and great maestros to help them produce a high-level of music without boundaries. Velut Luna has consistently produced a wide variety of first-rate music, ranging from the more traditional classical music, jazz, singer-songwriter and crossover. The record label has produced over 260 titles and the unique and elusive crossover genre has perhaps the most significant role in the exciting search for the new, but never separate from the beautiful, and without compromising the aesthetics that characterize its content. Marco Lincetto is the founder of Velut Luna. Since the beginning, he has worn many hats: music producer, art director and photographer. Even though passionately devoted to his Italian cultural identity, he has developed and cultivated a deep love for the United States. He identifies completely with the great values of the world’s largest and oldest democracy. He has come to love the spacious horizons of the United States and he has come to love its people. Since 1987, he has taken extended and carefully planned trips to the USA and has visited over 40 states. He does this for the love of the great country and its way of life and also to foster the passion that is inherent in his work. Marco Lincetto considers many Americans his closest friends, with whom he has had the good fortune to collaborate first on a professional level and then to cultivate long-lasting friendships. So then, it seemed natural to regard this project as the perfect way to celebrate twenty years of deep involvement in the music industry. We’re talking about a wide-ranging CD that combines the promotion of young talent with the support of successful artists in solo roles, bringing about an ideal pairing of the USA and Italy. It is an authentic project with a uniquely designed concept. This is apparent in the selection of 5 well-known American songs and 5 well-known Italian songs, interpreted respectively by a talented American singer and a celebrated Italian singer. They are accompanied by a symphony orchestra composed of extraordinary young musicians. Two instrumental pieces complete the program: one that is distinctly American – an Overture, and one that is unquestionably Italian – an Intermezzo. We are also treated to a final bonus, in which the two singers perform a duet of one of the most famous Italian songs of all time: Italian for certain, but the song is infused with the influence of American culture, which is palpable by a portion of the song’s lyrics in English.

IN VOLO

€ 18,00

In Volo "In volo" is a project that offers one of the most complete descriptions of what a sax solo can do with Music. Using tenor, and alto and soprano sax, Roberto Favaro introduces a kaleidoscope of sounds, that take us into a wonderful musical journey. And the extraordinary recording tecnique undertakes to enter directly into the Sala A of MagisterArea Recording Studio: here you can find a natural and native reverb, that help the Music to find the most correct mood for each piece played. But now, please read the words of Roberto Favaro, to portray his music: "Over the years, through various experiences and musical collaborations, I realized that the boundaries and labels of various musical genres are less rigid than it may seem and so I developed my idea of contemporary music, or at least of what it is the very definition for me. I intend to define the contemporary music with more breathing space in order to broaden the concept of contemporary music of our time that, regardless of the type of musical writing, captures and expresses moods , the various influences and contamination between styles of our time making us live the music of the present. A flight with open arms among the last forty years of Italian music covering some of the compositions that I feel closest to me both for the relationship with the melody that over the years I have always sought, and for the collaboration with composers of chosen songs that allowed me to feel them closer to my playing. Among my compositions instead I selected those that I think express these concepts, from the descriptive “In volo” to the blues influences of “Sale Blu” and the contemporary style of “Improvvisamente... Niente...” thus completing the journey through feelings, emotions and music with no boundaries of style." Roberto Favaro, graduated in Saxophone and Jazz, he studied with M.Mazzoni, M.Marzi and F.Mondelci, and he also followed P.Tonolo and C.Fasoli jazz courses. He also achieved the “Diploma Accademico di II livello” in saxophone. Winner of national and international competitions, he has a Duo with a piano, he founded the “Aliseo” saxophone quartet, and the “DUOduemilaDUE”, a particular formation of accordion and saxophone that recorded “Figure in movimento su sfondo bruno”, a contemporary piece by Mario Pagotto. He is a member of saxophone ensemble “Hallo Mr. Sax!” of Parma conducted by Mario Marzi who recorded the homonymous CD and the CD “Gershwin”. He participated in numerous classical and contemporary music festivals, like “Biennale Musica” in Venice with the orchestra conducted by S.Bussotti and with IRCAM in Paris, 14th World Saxophone Congress in Lubiana, and in “Le Centre de Musique et d’Art” and the American University of Beirut. He participated in the “Itinerari Jazz” festival in Trento performing with the vocalist Noa and with the Orchestra Laboratorio conducted by Giancarlo Gazzani. He collaborates with many musical groups and orchestras like the Orchestra Filarmonia Veneta also as soloist, the RAI National Symphony Orchestra of Torino, with whom he performed radio and TV recordings, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Torino, the Orchestra of Teatro G.Verdi of Trieste, the Orchestra of Teatro La Fenice of Venice, the Orchestra of Teatro Regio of Torino, conducted by L.Berio, G.Pretre, D.Robertson, D.Oren, F.Shipway and I.Karabtchevsky. With the Ricatti Ensemble he recorded the CDs “Ricatti Ensemble”, “Suites” and “Ad ore piene” and performs recitals in different environments, from the theatre to dance, from the concert to the street. He has written some compositions for sax solo and music based on poems by Hikmet. He is Professor of Saxophone at Conservatorio “G.Martucci” of Salerno and in 2014 was invited to give a masterclass at the Koninklijk Conservatorium of Antwerp.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST MUSIC

AA.VV. RAIDERS OF THE LOST MUSIC VELUT LUNA CVLD277 UPC: 8019349136662 ISRC: ITW311627701 .. .. .. The fantasy, the enthusiasm and the imagination of Steven Spielberg suggested me this my new musical adventure. I think that this record could represent as well the deepest meaning of my work inside music industry: the reason for I established an independent record company more than twenty years ago, meanwhile all over the world the music industry was beginning its decline in quality. So... We are Predators: people who need to explore the world always one step beyond; people, with extraordinary imagination and curiosity; people, with a yet perfect enthusiasm. During the early 2002 I had the idea of this role playing game and this real challenge to try to communicate the infinite possibility that Music offers to transform a single "theme" in several different compositions. So I asked some of the most beloved musicians of Velut Luna to develop – each one of them - one own personal arrangement of the famous Raider's Of The Lost Ark Main Theme, originally composed by the great John Williams. Even more than I hoped, a “fresco” composed by 7 paintings was created, which explores every possible acoustic sound, an extraordinary amount of different harmonic variations, every emotion in playing music together. Riding through different musical genres – from symphonic music to choral and chamber music, from soloist jazz to ensemble jazz, I really hope that this musical idea of mine could fascinate you as it fascinated me.
