Morphing Landscapes – Rocco Rescigno

The music of J.S. Bach has always fascinated the imaginations of musicians of every era and style. Renewing the original material, which is already exacerbated by reinterpretations, is a continuous challenge for every interpreter. Morphing Landscapes begins its journey through sound and its transformation, shifting attention to contemporaneity, not so much from the perspective of eternal content, but regarding timbre and the possibilities we have today to create new suggestions by transforming sound over time. For the Cello Suites, Robert Schumann imagines and writes a piano accompaniment. Immediately, these transmute into repertoire pieces for the trombone, and today, in Morphing Landscapes, they are transformed into sound through mutes and spontaneous dialogue with 20th-century instruments, such as the Wurlitzer, the Fender Rhodes, and the Hammond Organ. A transformation of the material through timbre and dialogue. In the same way, the content of pieces composed by Eugene Bozza in homage to Bach is treated, creating new textures that are always in flux.
