Talea

PAOLO ANGELI prepared sardinian guitar, vocals TALEA Solo World Tour 2015/16 Talea is the 'extended play' of the music pieces which are the dearest to me, characterizing, in continuity, the intercontinental tours 2015/16. The backbone of the album is based on the concerts in Japan, Brazil and Australia, with extracts from the concerts in the United States, Turkey, Italy and Sardinian. This double album - a testimony of beyond 60 concerts, recorded on four channels (two from mixer, and two from room take) – is human, instinctive, immediate and imperfect like all lives. The final playlist restitutes to the listening its narrative sense, the often-without-pause-between a piece and the next that characterizes my concerts. In synthesis Talea is the point of arrival of a research and a coexistence that has lasted twenty years, during which I have embraced the instrument as the natural offshoot of my musical ideas. The protagonist is the prepared Sardinian guitar, immortalized on the cover among seaweeds and the wood consumed by the sea. It is the Talea, obtained of thousand stolen clues that have found in this instrument the territory fertile to its rebirth in another form, taken from the journey diary where the sense of belonging merges with the search of diversity.  I am happy to be able to share it with you all.
