about

“Rach Mode On” is Claudio Vignali’s new album, featuring Rob Mazurek and Daniele Principato.
The album, out on Auand Beats, will be digital-only.

A new trio where electronics, improvisation and tradition merge to create new out-of-the-box sound worlds.

“Rach Mode On” includes 9 originals written by Claudio Vignali and Daniele Principato, composed through a unique system of interaction between electronic music and acoustic instruments. The improvisation is at the core of the entire work, and it doesn’t only happen on legacy music instruments: it becomes an experience. The “real time loop mix” is key: the piano is recorded and remixed in real time – while the musician is playlist the piano, effects are added, pitches changed, loops overlayed, and the piano player interacts with all of this at the same time. Many other instruments are involved, such as modular synth, Korg Ms20, drum machine Roland Tr909, guitar midi and several additional objects. As a special guest, Rob Mazurek joins the duo on trumpet and electronics.

As Serena Zaniboni’s cover art shows, this work is a lab creature. Think of taking Rachmaninoff in the future and putting him in a room full of mysterious music objects. Plug in and press “On”.

The tracklist includes a track inspired by Rachmaninoff’s music, an electronically-altered string quartet, and many other forms of sound manipulation. Every track starts from a new idea, although they all share the same concept: considering each element from several points of view, in order to gather every shade of it; breaking walls and creating a dreamy sound that will take the listener to a new dimension.
