La Clairière

Black Elk - Intro (Piano Cover)

For many years, whenever I play the piano and compose, before even touching the keys to play, I stay still. I begin from silence. I enter into a precise, recognized state and from this silence, the sound appears. It is an essential and directed sound that surpasses obstacles and divisions. It is not a mental or intellectual process but rather it is music that flows from emotion through melody and harmony, which, throughout time, have been the primordial elements of the power of sound.

“Quarto Tempo” is the space beyond the confines of the three time periods: past, present and future where the before, the now and the then, meet and cancel each other out. This inexplorable space is the setting where I find an attitude open to listening of the music and the sentiments that spring from it. This desire to go beyond these limits is a constant that is central to my work.

The historical view that at one time placed the musical time periods distant from one another has now changed from temporal, prospective and spatial; this modifies the relationship with consequentiality. One is not influenced only from what comes immediately beforehand but rather is impacted in the same way by a sound from five hundred years ago as by a sound from five years ago. 
The running of the tape or the turning of the needle on the vinyl of the LP, symbols of the running of time, is replaced by Hard disk where memory, rather than this running, exists. Here, the spanning of time becomes space.

Personally, I am interested in Music within mythology. This very music that through the powers of sound, charmed dolphins and made trees dance in the myth of Orpheus, sound that through its objective power, made the walls of Gerico come tumbling down. 
I believe that music, the universal language, should speak to everyone and needs not extensive explanation, at least in a deeper sense, but rather should be allowed to resonate within us so that we can hear what it evokes. 
The relationship I have with music has for many years, been tightly interwoven with my own search for personal evolution. It is an education that approaches, in essence a mirror. Through music I find myself in a vast and limitless flow. I have the opportunity to transmit my aspirations, to communicate what I feel and what I believe.

Celebrating #PianoDay #PianoDay2019

Following on from the success of their first improvised album ‘Piano Project’, the latest offering from The Daydream Club sees the duo take the idea a step further by fully immersing the fans in the creative process and offering personalised improvisations.

The duo shares a passion for improvisation, in the early days of their relationship they would often stay up through the night improvising on the piano. “Music speaks to the soul. It connects people, evoking an emotional response. For us, the ability to communicate through improvisation is something quite magical.”

Struck with a desire to share their passion and to make more meaningful connections with fans of their music, Adam and Paula hosted a series of live-streamed performances, inviting audience members worldwide to submit their own thoughts, feelings and memories, which they would turn into spontaneous piano improvisations. “You feel a huge pressure and sense of responsibility when attempting to interpret a meaningful moment in a persons life. The opportunity to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and play for a while was so special and we’re incredibly grateful to all of those who shared this experience with us.” 

Throughout 2018 the duo will be releasing a series of singles created from these live improvisations. The singles will form part of an album entitled ‘Piano Project // With You In Mind’. The first single, ‘Piano Project // For the Lost Ones’ was requested the day after a London terror attack in 2017, the dedication "in memory of anyone affected by the recent terror attacks anywhere in the world" (from Mark).

Roberto Cacciapaglia  protagonist of the most innovative Italian music scene, in Italy and abroad, for his musical research ranging between classicism and electronic experimentation. For many years he has been researching the powers of sound, in the direction of a music without borders, beyond any division. His music draws inspiration from these experiences and expresses itself through emotions rather than through rules and structures. 

Roberto Cacciapaglia has huge successes with his live performances in Italy and abroad. A testimony is his tour in Russia in 2013, with concerts in Moscow and San Petersburg which received an extraordinary reception by the Russian public. Other concerts followed in Barcelona, Bratislava and Istanbul, where he taught several seminars and workshops at the Turkish Music State Conservatory. The longstanding artistic partnership undertaken with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, gave life to hree CDs: “QUARTO TEMPO” (Universal Music-2007); “CANONE DEGLI SPAZI” (Universal Music-2009) and “TEN DIRECTIONS” (2010).
