Auden

CD 2004

S.Meloni, V.Martini, G.Corona, N.Cossu, S.Dessanay, L.Casula and A.Garau

In 1939 W.A. Auden composed several poems about man’s inner life, sorrows and living estranged from nature. In this recording, every musician expresses their own feelings – so deeply musical in themselves – by playing athematic atonal improvisations. Nothing aleatory in that, mind you, but perfectly definite languages and interplay.

The septet was assembled by leader Sebastiano Meloni with a double rhythm section. The album was self-produced and printed in a limited number of copies.
