The music of W O R D S is based on a composition and improvisation method of the same name created and developed by Matteo Paggi.
The method aims at an artistic creation that springs from the solicitation of the three spheres that make up the human being: the intellectual sphere, the bodily sphere and the spiritual sphere.
These three areas are brought into play through the use of five categories of words: colors, shapes, actions, ways of being, places/things.
Finally, the words are written on paper with the addition of signs describing performance modes and transitions, thus creating an indispensable form within which the musicians can express themselves deeply and create the piece together.
The band (which includes musicians from classical, jazz, contemporary, punk and modern music) has released its first album "words", which is having a fair amount of success. Already reviewed in major magazines such as MusicaJazz (IT) and included in "The Best Jazz on Bandcamp Feb 2024" along with some great names, it will be presented in Milan live on Radio 3 and at several concerts in Italy. In the Netherlands, however, it will be presented in the autumn period.
