The Hannover Swing Connection plays Atemlos

To say goodbye to this extraordinary year that is ending and to celebrate 2019 I wanted to make public my elaboration of Maurice Ravel's BOLÉRO. 

90 years have passed since the composition of the work was performed for the first time on 22 November 1928 at the Opéra National de Paris.

In 1928 the great French musician Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) composed the famous BOLÉRO. 

Exactly 90 years later I arranged and partially recomposed the work in the light of my personal experience, merging various languages and structuring on a compositional level a remake with a contemporary flavor but with retro flashes in the history of the '70s Rock and in Electronic Music. All imbued with a subtle sense of Jazz and improvisation, in a performance that becomes a kaleidoscope of seemingly distant sounds, where the listener is projected in a phantasmagorical, imaginative perspective, in a global and timeless journey: this is part of the NEAD project, which stands for New Electro Acoustic Dimension.
