CASINO DI TERRA
EDOARDO MARRAFFA tenor sax, composition
SERGIO PAPAJANNI electric bass
GAETANO DI GIACINTO drums
CASINO DI TERRA compose music of strong impact and big energy, based on an original combination of ipnotic rhythms, unexpected metric and harmonic variations and sudden diversity of timbric colours.
Themes, riffs and improvisations are incessantly jointed with a joy pregnant with movement and passion.
EDOARDO MARRAFFA saxophones, compositions
PASQUALE MIRRA vibes
ANTONIO BORGHINI double bass
CRISTIANO CALCAGNILE drums
The process through which we prefer to construct our musical explorations is that of improvisation.
Existing compositions are used in the improvisional flow in order to suggest various alternative routes and interpretations of them, but at the same time improvisation determines fundamental changes – also of a structural nature – to compositions, which become broken down to form constructive elements, like the bricks to be used for the total building, whose overall architectural shape is never determined a priori.
