Di Domenico-Lobo-Akiyamaディ・ドメニコ／ロボ／秋山

Live: Giovanni Di Domenico (piano, organ / from Italy) Norberto Lobo (guitar / from Portugal) Tetuzi Akiyama (guitar) ##Giovanni Di Domenico  Giovanni Di Domenico was born in Rome and since his birth has been traveling and playing music. This brought him to perform all over the world in very different contextes and musical genres, from modern jazz to free improvisation and experimental pop, collaborating with very many sides of artistic expressions, from modern/contemporary dance to experimental video-making. He also had the chance to play with some of the best musicians around, a.o. are: Arve Henriksen, Akira Sakata, Jim O'Rourke, Chris Corsano, Nate Wooley, Darin Gray, Tetuzi Akiyama, Fred Lomberg- Holm, Tatsuya Nakamura, Toshimaru Nakamura, Sanne Van Hek.....just to name few. He has released many albums under his name and in collaborations with others. His travels and music are not going to stop..... ##Norberto Lobo  Absolutely mindblowing and prodigious acoustic guitar player from Lisbon, who is just about to release his fourth straight classic, ‘Mel Azul’, on crucial Portuguese label Mbari Records. His 30 years of life have been completely immersed in the most joyous of relationships with music and sound. He’s done his profound reading of the most auspicious and melancholic melodies (a place where Steve Reich, Jim O’Rourke, Paulinho da Viola and Carlos Paredes all make sense together unto one existence), has been deeply enriched by the harmonic depth & richness of the samba/bossa heritage (which he knows by heart), and his composition in both short and longer-form is nothing short of remarkable – a sense of structure, narrative and storytelling complete by a total absence of any tics or theatrical antics, in which every turn is revised and remade for maximum fascination for both musician and audience. That and he has one of the best left-hands around - for a right-hand guitar player. Jack Rose and Ben Chasny said so. His fans include Gary Lucas, Naná Vasconcelos and the tragically defunct Llasa de Sela. We’re yet to meet a single human being who is less that astounded by this man’s music. Living proof that the boldest aesthetical moves are 100% compatible with complete social communion. ##Tetuzi Akiyama  Akiyama specializes in creating music with elements of both primitivism and realism by connecting his own aspirations, in a minimal and straightforward way, to the special instrumental qualities of the guitar. Sometimes delicately and sometimes boldly, he controls sound volumes ranging from micro to macro, in an attempt to convert the body into an electronic entity.
