Description
Debut album on Losen Records by the talented young Italian guitarist and composer Stefano Boggiani in a contemporary powerhouse jazz quartet of equally talented Norwegian players.
"Andvake is an old Norwegian word of Norse origin with multiple meanings. It can be translated as insomnia, but it also indicates a state of wake, characterized by extreme attention and vigilance. When I started thinking about this project, I was willing to shape some music inspired by the notion of contrast: texture and gesture, sparse and dense, order and chaos. I wanted to write compositions that served this purpose, while allowing freedom of interpretation to the musicians. I am deeply grateful to Oyvind, Oskar, Erlend and Markus for helping me shape the sounds in my head. Their active involvement and musicianship are a fundamental part of this work." - Stefano Boggiani
