DESCRIPTION:

Ottomani is a project conceived by ADN and four of their friend musicians. Riccardo Sinigaglia, who had his debut album "Riflessi" on ADN. Ruggero Tajè, who made his first solo CD "Antologica 1976-1999) on ADN. Silvio Linardi and Matteo Uggeri who also had many releases on ADN.

The concept was that all the four musicians had to create a basic track, that had to be enriched in three different passages by the other three musicians. After that the procedded track was returned to creator who was in charge of the final mix. The project started before Covid and will be ready before the end of 2023.

The final result consists of four "electronic" tracks with a great variety of instruments guitar, piano, sax, viola, violin, flute and percussions. Every musician has left his characteristic marks but the work has a global uniformity.

The music flows gently throughout the record alternating an ethnic middle-eastern feeling, oblique guitars, percussive themes, jazzy lightnings, original samples.

Four brilliant musicians, of different generations, bringing together a great variety of sounds and atmospheres.

2024
