MORE MORRICONE

More Morricone nasce da una proposta del produttore discografico Pierre Darmon dell’etichetta francese Bonsaï Music, con la quale Giovanni e Ferruccio collaborano da molti anni. Questo lavoro discografico, registrato nell’inverno del 2019, rende omaggio all’arte del grande compositore Ennio Morricone–recentemente scomparso–focalizzando sulla sua opera musicale dedicata al cinema. Giovanni e Ferruccio hanno per l’occasione selezionato musiche molto conosciute al grande pubblico–come ad esempio quelle composte per i film “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso”, “C’era UnaVolta In America” e per la serie televisiva “La Piovra”–e brani tratti da opere cinematografiche meno note–tra le altre “La Tarantola Dal Ventre Nero”, “Metello” e“Gli Avvoltoi Hanno Fame”. L’attento lavoro di arrangiamento operato sulla musica di Morricone mira a presentare le sue composizioni nella loro forma più essenziale, attraverso esecuzioni in solo, duo–anche avvalendosi di sovraincisioni–e con il prezioso contributo della cantante belga Chrystel Wautier o della vocalist CristinaRenzetti. More Morricone sarà pubblicato il 18 settembre (il 21 agosto uscirà in anteprima il single “I Figli Morti”), poi seguirà un tour, che porterà il duo in concerto inFrancia, in Italia ed in altri Paesi.
