Gianni Savelli Media Res
Biographie Gianni Savelli Media Res
The Gianni Savelli Media Res
takes its inspiration from so many sources that it really moves to a realm beyond label and categorization.
The combining of extensive and expansive written music while maintaining a simultaneous central component of improvisation is totally unique in an ensemble as small as this.
Filtered through the sounds and rhythms of various distant cultures melded with European and jazz harmonies, this music emerges as something completely original and evocative, taking the listener on a journey alive with imagery and imagination.
In 2004 the ensemble has published its debut album "Media Res" (Jazzinroma). After a pause of two years the band has recorded a second work "Que la fête commence" published on 2009. (Alfa Music – Egea)
Media Res has collaborated in the the original soundtrack of the movie "The Ignorant Fairies" by Turkish Director Ferzan Ozpetek.
Also, the band has scored the music of "Affetti collaterali", a play by Director Maurizio Rigatti.
