Le Grand Lunaire: Usher's Aenigma (Extract)

Adriano Lanzi (Rome, 1972) is a guitarist, composer, improviser, electronic performer, and occasional bassist.
He worked for a long time (1996-2003), in the studio and on stage, with the Afro-jazz group of Senegalese griot Siriman ‘Pape’ Kanouté, perhaps the first and most rigorous popularizer of the kora and of Mandinka culture in Italy. With Kanouté, Lanzi performed live on Italian radio broadcasts (Rai Stereonotte, La Stanza della Musica) and took part in creating music for theatre productions (including Fedra by Yannis Ritsos, directed by Giuseppe Marini).
Lanzi and bassist Omar Sodano recorded an album as a duo, La Vita Perfetta (2004), for German record label Klangbad (directed by Faust keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler), and later founded the rock-jazz quartet El Topo, whose album Pigiama Psicoattivo (2008) was released by Belgian label Off.
He is currently active in the duo MU with the cellist Federica Vecchio (two albums to date: Of Strings and Bridges released by British label SLAM! in 2016, and Twelve More Scenes of MU for the Italian label Folderol, 2019), and in the duo Le Grand Lunaire, with oboist and thereminist Paolo Di Cioccio (eponimous album Le Grand Lunaire, Folderol 2022). 
Lanzi occasionally collaborates with Geoff Leigh (formerly of Henry Cow), a veteran of radical improvisation and British ‘rock in opposition’, with Italian singer-songwriter and folk-punk rocker Stefano Giaccone (ex Franti / Kina), American multi-instrumentalist Amy Denio, and other musicians of the Italian and international scene.
He has always been involved in performing live scores, with electronics or guitar, of the classics of silent cinema, which he presented for twenty years at the Cinema Azzurro Scipioni in Rome, as well as in Italian and European festivals (including Montepulciano; Cinematica Festival Ancona, Alterazioni Festival Milano, Schiphorst Avantgarde Festival, Hamburg; London). More recently he has been involved in the creation of soundtracks for documentaries.
The Calling (Aventino Music, digital release, 2021) is Lanzi’s first album for electric guitar – a Les Paul ‘augmented’ with effects and loops – with a distinctive post-minimalist flavour. It is a collection of dreamlike, expanded and sometimes unsettling soundscapes, hovering between shoegaze and psychedelia, post-rock and a sort of instrumental dream pop, echoing the lessons of Fripp, Frisell, Tortoise, Riley, Reich.
His latest endeavour, Weird Tapes (Aventino Music, digital release, 2022), in duo with Paolo Di Cioccio, is a musical tribute for electric guitar (Lanzi) and synth drones (Di Cioccio) to the wild poetic imagination of visionary writer H.P. Lovecraft.
