in collaboration with Rex CafèELETTROswing is a project resulting from the encounter between two Florentine musicians: guitarist Francesco Canavese and drummer Stefano Rapicavoli.Their research is based on the exploration of sound, beyond the bounds of effects and the reproduction of pre-recorded bases/loops, through electronics used as a real extension of the timbre of the instruments and also as interaction with the musicians by means of processing the sounds produced in real time.The group offers a repertory of pieces from the history of jazz and from the American tradition that are well-known even to less expert audiences; the pieces are revisited and intentionally disordered on this occasion by the exchange among voice, guitar, double-bass, drums and computer.Francesco Canavese can boast collaboration with artists such as Uri Caine, Jim Black, Stefano Bollani and Virgilio Sieni, and works permanently at the Tempo Reale Centre of Florence; drummer and percussionist Stefano Rapicavoli has varied experience both in classic music and in jazz. Together with these artists, there are two exceptional "improvisers" who require no presentation: the double-bass player Pietro Leveratto and the vocalist Titta Nesti.
