Dynamic
MY FAVORITE BEATS

In 1969, at the same time as the final preparations for the first manned trip to the moon, a time machine far more advanced than Apollo was being developed in complete secrecy. Thus, a handful of musicians who called themselves “The Dynamic 4” found a way to travel through time while humanity as a whole was following the exploits of Armstrong & Co.. Their aim was to take their music to another era, into the future, into the third millennium. Now, in the present that we are living in, the Dynamic 4 are among us, unbeknownst to everyone, and their music, which previously came out of a small speaker on their mono record player, continues to play in today’s Hi-Fi systems. Stefano Micarelli grew up with a disease of music, already at one year old his main occupation was tinkering with 45s by Camaleonti and Rokes, (he also listened to the back). Struck by jazz, he founded several projects where he forced musicians to play his pieces and when he didn’t, he played guitar with Harvie Swartz, George Garzone, Massimo Manzi, Eddie Henderson, Bennie Maupin. Secretly and for more than 20 years he has cultivated a passion for computer music programming, which resulted in the partnership with DJ-producer Roby Colella of “Funky juice rec” and in the project of the group Barrio Jazz Gang known in European and non-European club-charts.

A militant in numerous Jazz oriented orchestras, alto saxophonist Daniele Tittarelli was awarded as best soloist at the “Tremplin jazz 2000” competition in Avignon (France). His versatility leads him to combine his jazz activity with frequent forays into neighboring territories such as with the techno-pop group I.H.C.
His attachment to his neighborhood ‘Garbatella’ (Rome-Italy-Europe-World) is well known, to which he dedicates records and concerts, almost a village-microcosm in the city of which he dreams of one day becoming mayor.

Pietro Lussu is the nobleman of the group, his elegant bearing immediately inspires a certain reverential fear that however collapses when our man sits at the organ where he transforms into a tightrope kangaroo. Already alongside Nicola Conte in some of his performances, he currently collaborates as a pianist with Rosario Giuliani with whom he has already done numerous European tours and three CDs.
He is also responsible for the rhythmic-bass support of the band and the “lounge-touch” of the electrophonic organ.

Armando Sciommeri is trained in the cellars of Via Veneto and in the afternoon concerts of the tea rooms. His groove is never predictable or brash, he has his own ‘sound’ that he finds on any drum kit he plays, even if he prefers to build his own snare drums and toms with woods he selects and works.
His collaborations range across the national and international jazz scene: Eddie Henderson, Scott Reeves, Alfredo Ponissi, Robert Stillman, George Garzone, Tony Scott, Antonello Salis. For a period of his life he lived in Germany where he took part in projects that occasionally see him return to Munich.
