Walter Geromet INCOGNITO

The title INCOGNITO is a reference to the ambiguity of our destiny: we shouldn´t be spending all our time planning the future, because we would end up missing what really matters, which is the present moment.  Instead, we should spend more time doing what we like most, what makes us happy, what stirs our passion up (respecting people around us, of course), letting the world unfold for us automatically, as a natural consequence of our well being. Only this way, the world will guide us towards the discovery of our true destiny through its constant changes, a destiny which we will only take its corse if we let our instincts and sensations led us.
      
The CD includes pieces I have composed over the last two years, performed with the sax my parents gave me when I started my studies. It is a very special sax: a 1980's curved soprano Rampone & Cazzani, an instrument of great sentimental value for me and characterised by a distinctive sound. I chose to return to my first sax after so many years in order to convey the musical message I had in mind, as if after a long road of musical and vital experiences, I came back to my "origins".
           
The style reveals a strong influence of popular, traditional Eastern music, as well as jazz, rock and contemporary classical music. I use techniques such as circular breathing, multiple sounds, quarter-tones, "non-pure" sound, effects with keys and air, vocal sounds and changes in timbre, with a constant awareness of the essence of traditional composition and the message I want to convey.

Walter Geromet Plays Bach

I want to dedicate this new album to the people who are dear to me but not here anymore. In their physical form, those people left indelible traces inside me and therefore they are still here, inmortal.  In this CD I took a trip to the past with my own interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) one of the most influential music composer of that era. I am sure this challenge will help me developed my creativity in future with a renewed approach and curiosity.
