Iconic figures of the 20th century, The Beatles embraced the changing world. Their music still resounds in people's mind, whatever their generation, country, language. It's part of our heritage. Nine of their songs have been newly arranged by David Chalmin, Nicola Tescari and Giovanni Sollima, intertwined with new compositions on the edge of improvisation. They create a multicoloured sound atune to our times, an encounter of diverse traditions and energies.
This innovative enterprise has been undertaken by Katia Labeque, unconventional pianist from a classical background to whom Miles Davies dedicated two songs, David Chalmin, alternative rocker, and Nicola Tescari, contemporary composer. B for Bang was born out of their desire to create a dynamic of energy, movement, and curiosity - with the instinct to retain the differences of their backgrounds. Joining them are Giovanni Sollima (Patti Smith/Phil Glass), Massimo Pupillo (Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth/Mike Patton), and Marque Gilmore (Nitin Sawney/Talvin Singh). They also invited some of their friends to collaborate, improvise and join in the making of the album Viktoria Mullova, Katell Keineg, Meg, Nadeah, Patti Smith, Daniel Day Lewis.
Across the Universe is not just a tribute to the Fab Four, it is a new point of departure for a renovated discourse on the relationship between music and images with Fabio Massimo Iaquone, digital artist, who will direct performers and shows alike for the realisation of a DVD in the summer of 2007.
A testimony to the aesthetic freedom and rich artistic encounters being developed by the KML Recordings.
