On Sunday, September 29th, Max Fuschetto returns live to Naples (Domus Ars – Via S. Chiara 10c) with New Directions Piano Guitar, accompanied by pianist Enzo Oliva and guitarist Pasquale Capobianco. New Directions Piano Guitar is the composer and oboist's latest project, which draws on a reflection on African musical thought, a constant presence in his work. The concert is part of the 2019 Concert Season of the Domenico Scarlatti Association, directed by composer and musicologist Enzo Amato.
According to Gerard Kubik, it is only a stereotype that African music coincides with rhythm. Africa is an original perception of the phenomenon of sound, a feeling that borders on a symbolic universe that represents the world in its totality: language, graphic sign, human relationships, nature, historical awareness. And then that very original exploration of time and space realized through movement. In New Directions Piano Guitar Max Fuschetto continues the work started with Secret Shadows (taken from Sùn Ná, the 2015 album) and then with Mother Moonlight (2017): the idea of a reflection of timbres, of a polyphony of registers, of an original continuity between strings, the piano and the electric guitar, which has been awarded by international networks such as the NDR Kultur of Hamburg and the Funkhaus radio of Berlin.
Max Fuschetto is considered by critics (Amadeus, Il Giornale della Musica, La Repubblica, Il Manifesto, NDR Kultur, Rumore, Il Mattino, Il Corriere della Sera, etc.) and by the public as one of the most original composers of contemporary classical music. Enzo Oliva has distinguished himself in numerous national and international competitions, regularly holds concerts in Italy and abroad as a soloist, with orchestra and in different chamber groups; in 2017 in “Mother Moonlight” he performed Fuschetto's unpublished music. Pasquale Capobianco has played with Pino Daniele, PFM, Nuova Compagnia Di Canto Popolare, Alan Sorrenti, Corrado Rustici, Banco, New Trolls, Le Orme, David Jackson, and is the guitarist of the current Osanna lineup.
