Description
Pegasys is a group of Italian musicians who decided to make a collective exploration through the possibilities offered by composition and free improvisation. The outcome of this choice is a double album, with two discs proposing two different musical approaches.
The "Yellow Disc" collects a series of free improvisations titled "Composition #", to point out their sense of impromptu collective compositions. The "Red Disc" contains instead compositions by single members of the group. Here the sensibility of the authors emerge as well as the different composition techniques, filtered and worked out by the ensemble through individual and collective choices. As Giancarlo Schiaffini sums up in the liner notes, "Improvisation is an instant composition and composition is a delayed improvisation".
Personel: Errico De Fabritiis (alto saxophone), Biagio Orlandi (soprano and tenor saxophone), Francesco Lo Cascio (vibraphone), Gianfranco Tedeschi (double bass), Cristiano De Fabritiis (drums)
