Zumtrio

Zumtrio is a Florentine project halfway between structure and improvisation, with a strongly “electric” nature. Three musicians with strong links to Tempo Reale, with musical roots as much in the experimental electronic avant-garde as they are in research jazz, generating unexpected and surprising sonic, electronic and emotional landscapes. The line-up is formed by Francesco Canavese on electric guitar, Francesco Giomi on the analog radio processed live and synthesizers, Sefano Rapicavoli on drums and percussion. "Radioscapes", their first record, is out on October 2, 2020 for Tempo Reale Collection.

Radioscapes by Zumtrio will be released on Tempo Reale Collection on 2 October 2020, available in CD and on all digital platforms.

Tempo Reale is the historical research, production and musical teaching center founded by Luciano Berio in Florence. Its activity mainly concerns the application of new technologies to sound. Tempo Reale Collection series was born in 2012, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the center, with the aim of documenting the productive work carried out over the last few years and characterized by the collaboration with important musicians and artists of the international scene.

Zumtrio is a Florentine project halfway between structure and improvisation, with a strongly “electric” nature, opening to different languages and ways of interaction, and with an almost limitless expressive variety: these are the main elements of an experience born within Tempo Reale which explores a free and entertaining conception of hospitality. Three musicians with strong links to Tempo Reale, with musical roots as much in the experimental electronic avant-garde as they are in research jazz, generating unexpected and surprising sonic, electronic and emotional landscapes. The presence of an analog radio processed live – the same one that stands out on the cover image – offers a possible interpretation towards an idea of plurality.

The line-up is formed by Francesco Canavese on electric guitar, Francesco Giomi on the analog radio and synthesizers, Sefano Rapicavoli on drums and percussion.

Radioscapes contains three tracks, recorded by Antonio Castiello at the Tempo Reale headquarters, in Villa Strozzi, Florence, in January 2020. So, Un tavolino a parte, California and Giornate colorate will allow you to tune in to the experimental experience of Zumtrio, here documented for the very first time.
