pozzuoli jazz festival

Some days ago I've assisted to a rare jazz concert right in my city, it has been great! I hope there will be more initiatives like this one in my country, there were at least 100 people including many strangers, but music was without doubt brillant, just as I thought. The concert lasted about four hours.

Relative music sounds: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, George Gershwin, Pat Metheny.
Artists of the event: U.S. Naval Forces Europe Band, Enzo Amazio Group, Simone Clarelli, jam session with various musicians.

Some latest listening: Autechre, Jakob, Dead Can Dance "Anastasis", Swans "The Seer", Boards of Canada "Peel Session", Telefon Tel Aviv "Map of What is Effortless", Soen "Cognitive", Jarboe "Sacrifical Cake", Pelican "City of Echoes".

new home.

After the tragedy of past March, we officially got a new home.
Through many sacrifices, works are finally finished, and now, me and my family have just to furnish, because much has been lost. I hope I will recover comfort and peace which have been roughly removed from my life, during these long seven months.

Soundtrack in this moment by Miles Davis, Akira Yamaoka & Norihiko Hibino "Free Jam".
