SOP Studio by Stefano Onorati; analog mastered in Novembre 2022
at Digitalsound Studio by Walter Bertolo.
Caligola has been committed to rediscovering a great deal of previously unreleased music composed by Marco Tamburini, one of its most significant musicians. The late trumpeter from Cesena recorded and released five albums as a leader through us, but he featured as session musician in many others. Two years after «Red», the unpublished track by Three Lower Colors, the electronic music trio Marco led in the last years of his life, a new recording is out which is strongly connected to that experience. The trio had been working on the scoring of «Voyage dans la Lune» – the episode was included in a DVD collection with soundtracks of silent movies – and «Blood and Sand», both DVDs released through L’Espresso magazine in Spring 2010. Stefano Paolini, the trio’s drummer, was absent from that magical night those tunes evoke. Stefano Onorati, who rediscovered this priceless material and was the only fellow musician on that occasion, says: ”We recorded these tracks on one of those nights we used to spend at his studio... we headed to the studio to improvise without saying anything to each other, nor setting a goal, but just for the sake of it. While we were listening to the music we had just recorded I recall seeing Marco cry; he had been moved to tears, and to me that image sums him up better than anything else...We managed to establish a good communication which went beyond looks and words”. “Good communication” that this work fully conveys together with much intensity. From the intimate, introspective prayer Cantico to the experimental Lunar Eclipse we, almost imperceptibly, get to the nostalgic and abstract closing track As It Was via the title–track inspired by Davis – but one can also hear much Joe Zawinul in Onorati’s keyboard. It’s an album you should listen to from beginning to end. You’ll embark on an exciting, fascinating journey with the two musicians that will led you to discover – quoting Bowman’s famous 1934 standard (East of the Sun) that inspired the title–track – “east of the moon there’s always the sun, you’ll only have to wait for it”.

Caligola è impegnata da qualche anno nella riscoperta della molta musica mai pubblicata che ci ha lasciato uno dei suoi musicisti più rappresentativi, Marco Tamburini. Il mai dimenticato trombettista di Cesena ha inciso per noi ben cinque album da leader, ma in molti altri è presente come strumentista. A due anni da «Red», inedito dei Three Lower Colours, trio elettrico che ha guidato nei suoi ultimi anni di vita, esce un’altra registrazione che a quell’esperienza è fortemente legata. Il trio stava lavorando in quel periodo alla sonorizzazione sia di Le Voyage dans la Lune – episodio inserito in «La magia del cinema» – che di «Sangue e Arena», Dvd usciti in edicola per L’Espresso nella primavera del 2010. In quella magica serata, che queste tracce ci fanno rivivere, mancava all’appello il batterista del trio, Stefano Paolini. Racconta Stefano Onorati, cui si deve la scoperta di questo prezioso inedito ed in quell’occasione quindi unico partner di Tamburini: “Abbiamo registrato queste tracce durante una delle molte notti che passavamo nel suo studio… siamo scesi in studio per improvvisare, senza dirci niente né porci un obiettivo, solo per il piacere di farlo. Mentre riascoltavamo la musica appena registrata ricordo di aver visto Marco piangere; si era commosso e quell’immagine per me lo rappresenta più di ogni altra… Eravamo riusciti ad instaurare un livello di comunicazione che andava oltre gli sguardi e le parole”. Un “livello di comunicazione” che questo lavoro ci restituisce appieno, regalandoci momenti di alta intensità espressiva. Dalla preghiera intima e introspettiva di Cantico e dalla sperimentale Lunar Eclipse si giunge, quasi senza accorgersene, all’astratto e nostalgico finale di As It Was, passando per il brano d’impronta davisiana – ma c’è anche molto Zawinul nelle tastiere di Onorati – che dà il titolo a un disco che consigliamo di ascoltare tutto d’un fiato, dall’inizio alla fine. Affronteremo così, insieme ai due musicisti, un viaggio emozionante e suggestivo, che ci farà scoprire – parafrasando il celebre standard del 1934 di Bowman da cui è tratto il titolo – che “a est della luna c’è sempre il sole, basterà saperlo aspettare”.
