you, both X Factor and for what 's your personal repertoire, as is' standard for a cappella groups, you perform re- interpreting and rearranging covers of songs already 'known. Do you have any particular artistic aims in doing so? Of course when we deal with a cover of a song first and foremost keep the foundations of our being an a cappella vocal group, but we always try to arrange the songs so that they are making so characteristic 'ours, our personal re -interpretation in practice. At the beginning of the experience and cover 'was for us a way to "get carried away" with what, and then 'become our way of making music, now the covers side by side with us unpublished written and arranged, in order to have a wide repertoire, vast and bordering on different kinds .
Have you ever observed in the past to knock down walls, which is very common for all emerging in the first place?
Absolutely. There have always been and still are. Especially in Italy. Actually, especially in Genoa, our cities ', where we were strangely few heard of before, just' cause we had performed in house a few times. Abroad, the situation a cappella groups and 'much better. In the past we have performed a great deal abroad, especially in Northern Europe, Scandinavia and Austria all, where there is' a true culture of music in that genre. Li 'we have always found a more welcome and hospitality', a great passion for the subject and availability 'to listen. And 'as if they were more' open to experimentation that we do, merging various musical genres, from jazz to rock, "fusion" in substance. And thinks that 'in Austria that Luke received the first applause for a bass solo by him executed.
My curiosity 'is precisely what is one of your concert, the duration of the various versions . . .
Well, we need to do 'more' it 'less' you need an instrumental band, they just do not have the tools! The repertoire includes meta 'cover and half' unpublished our own, so as to range between various genres of music, all on the basis of jazz, of course. We have many moments of entertainment, various sketches, moments in which we like to announce the song we're going to run. We are a jazz vocal group on the basis that ranges from rock to pop, with an eye towards electronics. And we realized that and 'This is what pleases the public. Even in our most 'recent show-case it required less pop songs, seen as popular, but more' special and niche, and this' very interesting. It seems that something is moving here too.
One last thing: have you ever worked in the past with some prominent Italian artist, or if not, who you'd like to do?
We've never collaborated with anyone to tell the truth. Looking abroad, we would like to collaborate, and maybe we will, with Michel Camilo and Eric Whitacre. In Italy given the choice we would all agree in saying Elio e le Storie Tese. We love them all and they are brilliant musicians.
