Label: Canti Magnetici

Giovanni Di Domenico率いるアンサンブルの音源!!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。自身の繊細なオーケストレーション及び室内楽の表現の為に結成したユニットNew Mo(ve)ments Ensembleの1stアルバムを遂に出版。金管楽器、アコーディオン、ピアノのハーモニーによる相互作用が美しく、それらは全ての氏の感性に結び付けられているとの事。Canti Magneticiからリリースというのも興味深い。





In 2010 Giovanni Di Domenico formed a band called “Mo(ve)ments Ensemble” and released a CD on Belgian independent label Spocus The concept and repertoire of that band reflected Di Domenico’s love for subtle orchestration and chamber music sensibilities, the basic idea behind it being the dissertation of the organic elements that form the instruments involved (in that case the wood of the strings and clarinet) and the re-construction of them by means of musical ideas (again: the orchestration, the particular ‘colour’ of those instruments).

After more then 10 years Di Domenico is forming a New Mo(ve)ments Ensemble: the line-up changed as the focus now will not be on organic elements (not only strings: the line-up this time mixes much more those elements, with brass, aerophone and percussion instruments added) but rather on the melodic/harmonic interaction between those instruments and on the timbral characteristics of each of those instruments, all tied together by Di Domenico’s arrangements and sensibilities.
