Rosa di flauti: Assolo acustico
Mario Crispi at Cornerstone Festival – Liverpool
26th November 2008 – The Great Hall h. 13.00
Rosa di Flauti – 9 solos for 9 archaic wind instruments from the world
Sicilian musician Mario Crispi is a flautist and founder of the “Agricantus”, one of the most sensitive bands on the Italian world-music scene. Mario’s life’s work is the investigation of wind instruments of the world: the “ney” (Persian, Turkish and Arabian), the “selijefloyte” from Lapland, the North African “zummara“, the Sardinian “launeddas”, the Egyptian “arghoul”, the Balkan clarinet, the Andean “antara and sikus”, the Armenian “duduk”, the Sicilian “marranzanu” and the Australian “didjeridoo”. He has built instruments inspired by and based upon various traditional original instruments modifying both the material used to make them and their tuning and adding different construction and playing techniques to create a new melange of sounds. In his composition “Rose of Flutes” Mario Crispi creates a musical journey exploring the sounds of original instruments from five continents.
