GARDEN WALL - Iperbole

Massaria, Seravalle & Schiaffini
Live improvvisation at filosofiagrado festival, september 2013

"Decisiva per il trio risulta la distinzione fra “soundtrack” (colonna sonora) e sonorizzazione in tempo reale, situazione quest'ultima in cui la musica non si sovrappone alle immagini ma le sottolinea e le valorizza, fornendo loro un “background” misterioso e rarefatto.

Utilizzando una vasta gamma di approcci improvvisativi che vanno dal jazz alla
sperimentazione sonora all'avanguardia contemporanea, la sonorizzazione, creata
all'istante, delle immagini proiettate, permette ad Andrea Massaria, Alessandro Seravalle e Giancarlo Schiaffini di usare la propria musicalità in maniera non convenzionale dando
così la possibilità agli stessi di esprimersi liberamente e di sperimentare sonorità
inaspettate ed inusuali che rimarcano la bellezza e l'estrema attualità dei film proposti.

Proprio la capacità dei tre musicisti di far aderire spontaneamente l'improvvisazione al
tempo del montaggio senza imporre anticipatamente strutture predefinite mostra come la stessa riesca anche oggi (meglio della musica scritta nonostante illustri esempi “colti” del passato) a rendere la magia ed i tempi del cinema muto in maniera assolutamente
irripetibile."

Biopiracy

One of those Emil Cioran’s ultimate sentences gathering an entire world...turned into sounds...

Je Fais Semblant D’être Ici - Officina F.lli Seravalle

ALESSANDRO SERAVALLE graduated in philosophy with a paper on Emil Cioran and he’s been active for over twenty-five years in the musical scene as composer and player. Some of his compositions were premiered on two different editions of the Festival for Contemporary Music Luigi Nono in Trieste.
Leader of the band Garden Wall, with whom he released eight records so far, ha claims himself “proudly self-taught” in musical composition. The struggle against every form of cliché is the trademark of his expressive research. He started an experimentation course within the realm of progressive rock as guitar player, singer and electronic sounds manipulator. Parallely to the Garden Wall activity he’s developing new forms of musical language with several projects: 
With the album Logos (2010), he started Genoma, his innovative solo project whose second chapter, entitled Silenzioso, has been released in winter 2014 by Zeit Interference.
In Schwingungen 77 Entertainment he inter-crosses his guitar with Andrea Massaria and Enrico Merlin’s ones on electronic substratums of his ideation.
Another ensemble with Andrea Massaria is James Frederick Willett: improvisation, electronics and political  lyrics in which the two guitar players are accompained by Alessandro’s brother Gianpietro Seravalle (electro-sick grooves) and the author of the lyrics, the philosopher Raul Kirchmayr. Their first record was released by Setola di maiale at the end of September 2017.
In the coreutic-visual-musical experiment named Agrapha Dogmata he’s flanked by the cellist and singer Mariano Bulligan, the percussionist Ermes Ghirardini, the dancer Laura Della Longa e the visual artist Luigina Tusini. The ensemble will be in studio for the recordings of their debut album during 2017.
He recently built up a duo with the pianist and keyboard player Giorgio Pacorig called Tzim Tzum, marked by the research in the field of free improvisation.
Further project is Bonsoir Trio, devoted to a peculiar form of ambient music with the bass player Mauro Bon and the guitarist Tony Longheu. 
SeTe is a research music duo, in which Seravalle co-operates with the multi-instrumentalist from Modena Carlo Sebastiano Tedeschi. Bandcamp hosts their first work entitled “The book of job”. 
With his brother Gianpietro Seravalle started a duo (Officina F.lli Seravalle) dedicated to a form of experimental new-psychedelia with a pronounced electronic feature with rock music contacts. Their debute “Ûs frais cros fris fics secs” was released by Zeit Interference in summer 2018.
Setola di maiale released in 2016 a work under his name including his first five Morphocreations (an expression from Henry Michaux), some sort of aural solliloquies centred on a sculptural-improvisative conception of sound. 
Zeit interference released in October 2017 his solo electronic concept “Spielräume”.
