about

[HJ002]

‘Fire And Sea’ is a tale about the Mediterranean people and their music.

It’s a story about an obsessive research on contaminations between Southern Italy rhythms and melodies and North African atmospheres. Written by Machweo and performed in studio with his jazz ensemble (electronics, sax, electric guitar and drums), ‘Fire And Sea' focuses on the most unitary and political features of music; it brings with it all the melancholy and dance-oriented power of the music mixed with the aggregative and spiritual force of African culture.

As the result of the Machweo artistic research in the last four years, ‘Fire And Sea’ is a journey full of elusive and distorted references to our culture (in which it is difficult to trace a prevalent artistic origin) through a schizophrenic path into South Italian traditions and North African culture, conveyed by contemporary electronic music. It is a constant attempt to bring together imaginations and sounds separate only by geography: actually, the Mediterranean Sea is a bridge between cultures and traditions.

This hybrid music is embedded in more traditionally electronic structures that tap into both beat-making and club-oriented cyclical repetitions. Machweo tries to give a jazz breath to traditionally electronic constructions, always keeping in mind the Mediterranean as a link between the productions in the record.

"Finalmente l'album che reputo riesca ad anticipare di qualche decennio una "sonorità di miscela fra tutti i generi ma fuori dal tempo e da ogni contesto". In questo senso apprezzo il riferimento nel titolo al tema nietzschano, come "musica di forze" che ci attraversano. Forse ci scriverò una tesi in filosofia!" Romics Garaggio
