Giuseppe Ottaviani

Evolver Giuseppe Ottaviani

From audience-inspired idea-kernel to diamond-in-the-rough demo, before flaming into a fully realised floor-combustor is a typically extensive process. It's also one that for reasons numerous is regularly hidden from end-user view. Giuseppe however sees such matters in a more progressive manner.

"To me bringing the audience into the music making equation makes a great deal of sense. Short of having the ability to make music in the first place, harnessed right, it can be the artist's greatest asset. No one is going to give you clearer notes, better pointers or more honest feedback on your music than an audience member, working synchronously with a thousand others. And obviously, at the same time, they're the ones you have to get it right for!"

Part desire/part 'Evolver's M. O., the album sees a swing back to Giuseppe's instrumental origins, with maximum concentration placed on the power of the studio's boxes. With no vocals to assist in the emotive support, it all comes down to his ability to summon the magic from within. Some of the cores of its tracks originated from individual shows - numbers like 'Belasco', 'Soundbar' and 'Panama'. Others - 'Another Day In L. A.' and 'Ciudad De México' among them were developed over successive nights in specific parts of the world. Make no mistake, this longplayer isn't about dazzling you with studio science. It's about a longstanding ambition to bring what happens in the production suite to a live, shared environment, whilst making the audience complicit in its mission for trance fission.
