PANAPHONIC
Freedom March Groove

The idea that leads to the birth of this composition developed some time ago, but in this spring of 2024 it reaches its conclusion in definitive form. The propulsion that fuels the whole piece ties perfectly with the decisive and confident progress of the rhythmic base, which underlines and describes the tight and compact steps of a fighting crowd, in this case for the purposes and ideals of peace, brotherhood but also democratic rebellion . Urban scenarios of multitudes both day and night, or at dusk. Small groups of lively, circumspect, attentive and cautious people, always ready for a triggering intervention. A choir, a breathless race, a dance, all always close and united under a single cry of freedom, of respect, of immanent brotherhood recognizing themselves in a universal sense of connection with others. The main inspiration comes from far away, from the immense marches and overflowing processions of crowds of citizens of the sixties and seventies, which began the first revolutionary movements and the first struggles for freedom of thought, speech and for denied civil rights. For the end of the Vietnam war, the banning of nuclear weapons (No Nukes), the fights against the destruction of the environment, the emancipation of women, etc etc. Starting from all this and running the tape up to the present day, it seems to have paradoxically returned to the sad starting point and that all these instances are still exactly valid. This is at the same time incredibly serious and unacceptable and the opposing forces that outline this status quo dictated by an inaction originating from compromises by potentates around the world. Inexplicably it seems that the new generations no longer have the antibodies to not be fooled by the established power. Furthermore, the new digital communication imposed on them with persuasive and flattering methods has absurdly taken away, rather than broadened, the prospects for dialogue, growth and comparison. Subtracting the natural ways of introspective investigation and aggregation between similar. All this has led to an enormous and unbearable disintegration and manipulation of the masses. To a stubborn, continuous and perennial control at levels never seen before. Therefore it can certainly be asserted that a well-determined, ultra-planned, constant and obstinate program has been completed to achieve total control of the individual of his psyche, of his thoughts, desires and wishes. There was talk of anti-bodies and a methodology of contrast, that is, of a counter-culture (which is increasingly missing today) which historically was conveyed through music together obviously with literature, poetry and the most transgressive cinema. and author. Everything we have seen in the last two decades is unbearable, unfair and inadmissible, it is leading us into the abyss and dragging us into the apocalypse. Music has always, in addition to the message that supports and strongly accompanies the commitment of activists and all the individuals who live within them, a drive for change, a contrast to injustice and a pure and sincere return of brotherhood among peoples, is capable of moving the masses as it always did in the last century and sometimes it does so even these days. Returning to the presentation of our new release, the author immersed himself in a descriptive atmosphere of participation, of a community in motion, of authentic communication and of sharing of intentions. In fact, this first release will be part of a collection of 10 songs of a thematic album all focused on these themes, in a funk-jazz and cinematic style. Compelling and highly articulated bass lines, solid and powerful drum grooves, captivating wind riffs, fiery percussion, all blended to march, move, dance together because movement is the basis of human evolution, civilizations and humanity whole.
