Filippo Deorsola (piano, prepared piano)

Queer pianist and composer Filippo Deorsola presents Anaphora, a curious sonic being that “switches and mixes different genres and rhythms in an incredibly controlled and enjoyable way” [Best of Jazz, USA].

An athletic criss-cross between jazz and non-european musical traditions centered on wood-based piano preparation, [Bloom] is Anaphora’s latest project. An open-ended exploration of the power within the collective process of dreaming out sounds and sounding out dreams. With [Bloom], queer pianist Filippo Deorsola brews a genre and gender-free hybrid, a colourful textural space where techno-reminiscent urban grooves bond seamlessly with cyclical rhythmic machineries and hypnotic melodies.


“
It is rare to hear a trio that manages to mix different musical idioms — such as contemporary music, traditional jazz, radical improvisation and the song form — so skillfully in a unitary, single sound.
It is precisely the sonic research that constitutes the meaning of this work : a research full of energy and unexpected solutions that has the potential to glue the listener to his chair for the entirety of the Album.
”
— Simone Graziano
