Ephemeral #2:
Gianni Lenoci followed the usual way he use from last three years: just small notated fragments as starting point to jump into improvisation. These small notated fragments are a kind of  » prolific material ». They can be used in several ways: combination, permutation, inversion and so forth, in the same way a sculptor manipulate his materials. Gianni showed to musicians the general gist of the composition and through the process of rehearsal and human relationship the group went to a kind of « structure » with sections, musical figures and gestures, signals and orchestration.
« squeeze what you have ’til last and then go to the other corner. » (Mal Waldron)
