Filippo Deorsola (piano, prepared piano)

Jonathan Ho Chin Kiat (double bass) Marco Luparia (drums, objects)

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.


The music regenerates itself by active rotations and reflections of ideas and actions, previously heard segments decrease or increase, sonic echoes that travel as if in dreams of past and future Blooms.
Fresh and airy, the trio’s conceptual approach is entirely poetic and plays like an athletic, yet joyful discipline in sound. Transparency and opacity in suspended motion, the three nomads are on the same flow, one of ever-changing interconnectedness. An affective practice of flying as if bee, diffusing as if vapor, contracting as if muscle or distending as if avalanche.
Repeated listening is recommended.

— Bo van der Werf
