Six sounds, six perspectives, six personalities.
The “Sestetto Internazionale” is unique in different ways. You won’t find this line up a second time: two sopranosaxophones, violine, piano, turntables and quartertone accordeon. Three high melody instruments and three instruments which act rhythmically and harmonically and melodically. But those cathegories don’t exist here. The only thing that counts is listening. These six worldclass improvisors like to create and expend sound scapes. It’s not about one great solo, it’s only about the collective.
The sound creature of “Sestetto Internazionale” is a wild one, edged, with pleasure, full of life.
