Pasolini nell'era di internet (2000): scoring for Zappalà and Nicolosi
Nello Toscano's second Anaglyphos release is the original score for a stage work by Roberto Zappalà inspired by Guido Nicolosi's text. Five movements for jazz ensemble and strings, from Il Banchetto to I Corpi to the Adagio dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Pasolini nell'era di internet is the second Anaglyphos title signed by Nello Toscano. The music accompanies the stage work of the same name choreographed by Roberto Zappalà, drawn from Guido Nicolosi's text Tra reale e virtuale: Pasolini nell'era di internet.
The five movements
- La Lotta (4:35)
- Il Banchetto (9:13)
- Dedicato (8:05)
- I Corpi (20:45)
- Adagio per Pier Paolo Pasolini (6:49)
Almost fifty minutes in total. I Corpi, running over twenty minutes, is the score's structural backbone: a long-form composition that moves through rarefaction, timbral accumulation and a return to silence. Adagio per Pier Paolo Pasolini closes the record with a direct homage to the poet.
The ensemble
Toscano (double bass and electronics), Dino Rubino (trumpet), Alberto Alibrandi (piano and keyboards), Carlo Cattano (flute), Adriano Murana and Alexandra Dimitrova (violins), Enzo Sequenzia (viola), Alfredo Borzì (cello). A mixed jazz-and-chamber ensemble in which the string quartet plays a structural rather than decorative role.
