Die Takla Improvising Group ist ein Zusammenschluss von Musikern aus Mailand und Umgebung, die sich mit Takla Records ein eigenes Forum geschaffen hat. Mit DICIANNOVE CALEFAZIONI von Alberto Braida und Giancarlo Locatello legt das Label seine zweite CD vor. (…) Über dieser mönchisch-kammermusikalischen Goldmacherei schwebt der Hausgeist von Anton Webern und schwingt Occams Klinge.

About this Duo
The Braida-Locatelli duo was formed in 1996 and focuses both on improvisation and its relationship with composition. In 1999, after about three years during which the duo worked on developing a process of ´subtraction´of musical materials, they issued a CD of completely improvised pieces entitled ´diciannove calefazioni´ (takla record 2).
In September 2000 the duo made a short tour in Germany (Berlin, Oberhausen, Cologne). Material recorded during these concerts will be released on a new CD in spring-summer 2001.
At present the duo, apart from further research and development of the concept of improvisation and ´instantaneous composition´, is working on a project on the compositions of Eric Dolphy.
 
Excerpt from the booklet:
(…) Many of the more traditionalist colleagues usually think that free improvisation is a sort of lark on the shores of an endless sea of timbres and frequencies, without any principle, order or foundation. How can we convince them that free improvisation means discipline, decisions, choices and a rigorous exercise of self-control? The problem, in fact, is quite similar to that of cooking; the result is not improved by adding more ingredients or increasing their doses, but by balancing what is available in an inspired way. And this music is a good example; the ´calefactions´ of Braida and Locatelli are the result of a precise musical choice, in which self-indulgence and concessions to ´good common musical sense´ are left behind in favour of a limited, in-depth research on certain essential musical values. Sounds, silences, ferocious rips that alternate with a calm pointillism, in a sort of extreme, very slow-motion counterpoint, are the characteristics that emerge from the first listenings of these ´Nineteen calefactions´ that flow, rapidly evaporating, as parts of a unified, incessant vision. But there´s more … discover it for yourselves.
