The record is the outcome of a cross-contamination stemming from different genres and styles, reflecting Alessandro Bianchini’s musical education: from the typical academicism of classical music to improvisation, through the sounds of traditional jazz.
These elements mark indelibly the vibraphonist’s aesthetics and musical language, which are then embellished by a constant and meticulous search for detail, as such allowing his compositions to be identified.
When asked about his music he says:
"The timbral choice of the mallets that change according to the song, the idea of putting vibraphone and marimba together, and the almost maniacal emphasis on dynamics are the elements that, in my opinion, give the record a jazzy sound, with important and recognizable deliberately refined elements. Another aspect is certainly evident to listeners, namely the presence of an element that I personally always place in the foreground and that is the basis of improvisation and interplay: Timing. It is precisely the timing that allowed me to create a natural, almost instinctive feeling with the other members of the group: Marco Micheli on double bass and Simone Brilli on drums".
