│release notes.
Los Angeles based pianist, producer, and songwriter John Carroll Kirby
traveled to Pietrasanta, Italy in the summer of 2018 on a self-imposed
writing trip. During his stay he composed Tuscany, a two side-long solo
piano exploration of this particular geographical envelope, a place
where nature is shaped into form.
Kirby would cycle 12 kilometers each day to Cascata di Malbacco, a
waterfall with jade pools and silver stone, and the inspiration for
Side A of Tuscany. His own Cascata di Malbacco tumbles and shimmers
along the piano as a gorgeous eighteen-minute-long improvised piece,
some of it polished and some moments left raw.
On a ride to Sant'Anna, twenty-something kilometers away, Kirby took
a wrong turn and got lost among the hills, where he encountered several
monuments memorializing the victims of the SantÆAnna di Stazzema
massacre. The dark history of an abandoned mill house served as the
inspiration for the albums haunting Side B, a eulogy for all of those
forgotten by time.
Although Side A is inspired by the natural beauty of a waterfall,
and Side B by the cruelty that people can inflict upon others, both
pieces revolve around the same seven-note bassline. The idea Kirby is
iterating on is the realization that darkness exists inside light, and
vice versa; Tuscany is an inquiry into this duality and its consequences.
John Carroll Kirby has recently released music on Leaving Records,
Outside Insight and Pinchy & Friends. In the studio and on the road,
he's produced and/or played with Connan Mockasin, Blood Orange, Sebastian
Tellier, Shabazz Palaces and Solange.
