Libera

The improvisation of Libera / Free comes from an initial fragment of a previous work a finished work that has a beginning and an end. And which therefore has silence that comes after it. The desire to extract a fragment from that silence, and give it life through a long process of improvisation was born. And it is the same thing that occurs in the life of trees.

When the seed falls to the ground, it remains still and silent for a short period of time, but then it creeps into the earth, takes root and begins to grow, following the rhythm of the days, months, seasons and years. It is a perfect metaphor to represent the essence of the creative process. The act of creation, for an artist, does not start with a work to end with that same work.

On the contrary, the single work is nothing more than a segment of a very long process that begins with the first notes of the first passage that is etched in your mind and that ends exactly when you leave this life. And this itinerary is necessarily constructed as an arborescent sequence each segment, each sequence that emerges during improvisation, contains the genetic makeup of previous centuries, of the story that you lived and of the one you did not live, of the life that preceded your life and the one you are living. In short, it is the result of the exploration of past languages that engage in dialogue with present languages, and that begin to resonate with each other in the course of improvisation.
