-----------------------
The critically acclaimed International Quartet, INSTRUMENTAL QUARTER, have
written an album that could only have been born in the shade of Pian Fiorito's
mountainous sides and timeless Saluzzo , Italy . Paride Lanciani (electric &
acoustic guitars), Gabriele
Grosso (bass), Luca Bleu (drums) and Davide Areondo (violin, Rhodes & Theremin)
offer us TRAFFIC JAM. These arrangements walk us along and through the circles
and cycles of seasonal change that only a region not dominated by cement,
advertising or gluttony could produce. The collaboration between human &
environment that seems to become so grey and cold within the confines and
definitions of the city escapes colorfully into rain, birds, flowers, rowed
trees, moving water, fluttering birds and fiery sunsets. Through these visceral
daydreams, we see better realizations of our own intentions.
Included on the CD are four of the live videos that Francesco Calabrese has
produced for IQ's live shows. They provide excellent and unobtrusive visuals
that support, rather than dominate, their performances. It's time to take
yourself on a little trip to the mountainsides of Italy . Release yourself from
the confines of your cubicle, cell phone and television for a short while with
TRAFFIC JAM.
