A-SEPTiC is a creative duo project by two of the Italian most original young
improv-musicians: saxophonist Stefano Ferrian and pianist Simone Quatrana.
They both own a personal voice on their instruments, angular yet lyrically flavoured playing and a superb, soulful inspiration.
This album features instant compositions, a sort of framed glances solidly intertwined by sound narrative threads and pulsing densities.
The overall mood is hugely informed by history contradictions and their declination through social conflicts in the contemporary era.
Syria war-scenario is a paradigmatic magnifier on these contradictions.
They span from macro-political to individual categories, crossover-ing religions, ethnic, economical and social landscapes.
A huge emotional cargo that finds here a bright yet intimate interpretation.
“What’s been documented in this record is just how we felt discovering the abyss within ourselves”
