SBOCCIA IL FIORE NERO (4.06)
Luca Ricci, singer and text
There are three types of music: that which is useful to me, that which is useless to me (it’s not a question of genre), and that which I feel at home with. Only I can compose the latter, because only I know how sound events should be superimposed and arranged on the time axis. If the result pleases someone other than me, I’ll be happy; otherwise, I’ll be happy anyway.
Perhaps I should list my influences – I think that’s how they do it in biographies of musicians – but that’s not the case, and you’ll forgive me, because between the music I’ve recorded (from medieval to contemporary, including “humanism, renaissance, baroque, classicism, romanticism, late romanticism, opera, and early twentieth-century music”) and all the music I’ve listened to and/or danced to for pleasure, it would make a boring and very long list.
I forgot the title! Well, if progressive rock wanted to use the forms of classical music with the language of rock, I like the idea of using the song form (more or less) with the language of contemporary music. Of course, if the radical champions of post-Webernism had done it, they would have been much better than me; but they didn’t.
Enjoy!
