In Above the Sky non ci sono mezzi termini, è forse il mio album più “estremo”, nel quale la mia passione per il vuoto non concede spazio ad alcun compromesso; pur mantenendo, come nei miei precedenti lavori, l’elemento melodico, il mio interesse va diritto all’essenza del suono, alla musica intesa come colore puro e sperimentazione timbrica.

The trumpet has a curious fate. On the one hand, it is one of the oldest instruments created by humankind, and, with its many variants (in shape, matter, size and sound) it is found in most cultures through time and space. On the other hand, its standing as a solo instrument has been recognized only relatively recently in Western music, although the twentieth century saw a sudden and magnificent flowering of solo works for this instrument, not only in the classical repertoire but also in a wide range of other musical styles.
