About
Visionary Italian composer and bass player Lorenzo Feliciati's new RareNoise release arises out of a long-sought after collaboration with Italian master percussionist and sound-designer Michele Rabbia. In Antikythera, named after the Greek 1st Century astronomical computation device discovered in a shipwreck early in the 20th Century, Feliciati and Rabbia coalesce studio improvisation with incredibly detailed post production work, to produce a 'musical mechanism' of rare elegance and precision, spanning a bridge between ecstatic electric jazz and exquisite soundscape design. Special guests on Antikythera include trumpeter Cuong Vu, saxophonist Andy Sheppard, Italian pianists Rita Marcotulli and Alessandro Gwis and Feliciati's Naked Truth and Mumpbeak bandmate, keyboardist Roy Powell.

The spirit of electric period Miles Davis is also summoned up through Cuong Vu’s breathy trumpet refrains, while UK sax player Andy Sheppard adds extra colour to an already loaded musical palette for the lively ‘223 Teeth’. Elsewhere, ‘Prochronistic’ is more experimental, where a symphony of hissing sounds, electronics and near-rock elements burns through the already established fusion jazz vibe to leave its own indelible mark.
