Czn, João Pais Filipe, Valentina Magaletti

Czn stands for Copper, Zinc and Nickel the raw path of Materials used by percussionist and sculptor Joao Pais Filipe turned into gold for this compelling drum and percussion album recorded in duet with composer and drummer Valentina Magaletti. Czn is also the alchemical sound of Joao in collaboration with percussionist Valentina Magaletti (Tomaga, Vanishing Twin, Uuuu). The duo create rich tapestries of hypnotic rhythms, evolving the sound of drums and percussion into vivid textures: visceral timbres and telescoping rhythms that surround and beguile, and which hint at the meditative states of spiritual jazz as much as the cerebral counterpoint of Minimalist Composition.
