Skinny Chips Corn Chips

Magoni Petra and Ferruccio Spinetti with their "naked music" at the San Carlo in Naples on 16/06/2008


creepy.
In a context such as royal the Teatro San Carlo, perhaps with a certain friction between the type of concert that was presented and the kind of shows that are normally represented in the most prestigious theater in Naples-it went on to develop a concert that has excited the whole audience , leading to the end of the concert to ask twice for another musical performance group.
But first things first. The group that played (because they define themselves as a group) consists of a duo: Petra and Ferruccio Spinetti Magoni, her voice, his bass (musician Avion Travel). Their project: "Naked Music", carried on for some time.
What is impressive is the amount of musical culture that flows into their music.
There is a contamination, or rather a mixture (more appropriate term because as he says the pianist Stefano Bollani, Petra Magoni husband, knows so much contamination of something harmful) of genres, techniques, historical periods, artistic achievements.



We start from the repertoire presented: an intertwining of their songs, including previously unpublished pieces written by other artists and their beloved covers of many different authors, ranging from artists such as Lucio Battisti, Fabrizio De Andrè The Beatles, having fun with great humor with songs like Tuca Tuca of careers, I do not have the age of Gigliola Cinquetti, proposing even the final part of a madrigal by Monteverdi. All of this is the first step that helps us understand the variety of a show like that.
But one of the most interesting things is how this works out, their unmistakable style that is a mouth of the most common: it goes from jazz to opera, classical music ancient and contemporary classical music, irony and carbonation of artists like Frank Zappa or Captain outstretched to the world of pop music and music copyright, with echoes of oriental music.
The first choice is already in bold type of training, namely voice and bass, which takes a musical tradition inherited by all (As in jazz, for example) who conceives of the instrument as the bass down not only as a maker of carpet and support, but real creator of melodies and harmonies, even exalting him as a protagonist in one tool.
But we get to say it is not the only instrument on stage, just the kind of expressiveness and vocal technique of Petra Magoni: represents the full knowledge of the use of voice as a musical instrument, she is pouring in a technical ability that allows the space between the eighth with many different heights permitting us also for minor variations in tone and semitonal. Going from one style to opera music to a style jazz, and plundering the trials of contemporary music.
iflussi When we talk about contemporary classical music, they mean the dimensions of music at 360 degrees in a gig like that everything is for the creation, different elements are intertwined. There is an overlap of acoustic music and electronic music with various sound effects as well taken care of echoes, delayed or difficult the creation of a continuum effect between electronic and acoustic sounds. Ricercatoe conscious use of lights carefully positioned with the ability to direct them in the best way to create different effects as well as the projection of shadows of two artists, magnified in the background of the stage. And then of course the way it sounded and sang the traditional jazz improvisation take or already testing the customization of songs already known, as well as the use of voice as a musical instrument imitating other sounds sometimes, as in the grip of virtuosity. Another important note is the vision cageiana and contemporary music that rises to the level of various elements such as the breath of Magoni clocked well, his pace to beat his foot on stage, non-canonical and unusual usage of the musical instrument by Spinetti, playing the bass at times, almost like a guitar, sometimes like a cello, rubbing the strings, only brushing, making them even tweak its companion show, using their full extent, creating music, even playing on the instrument case, because every single part of it is composed can create sounds that make music.

Already normally live music is always something different from recorded music, I think this is the case in which the gap is even greater: what matters here is the performance art that includes the physicality of These two characters, one can say-what-wonderful to have seen Petra Magoni relamente and literally possessed by the music.
Just as there is a strong sense of irony and sympathy to this wonderful couple, who can lighten the concert giving laughter and serenity to the public.
Not to be missed. a wonderful concert. Because I think words do not come to understand what they are capable to offer here a taste of their music with the hope of provoking curiosity in order to push those who are enjoying all this god avvicinarsia this fantastic musical world.
