"This quote is taken from the book "On Freedom - A Song of Love and Renunciation" by Maggie Nelson, a remarkable essay that the saxophonist Simona Castria, originally from Taranto, brought with her from Paris, where she lives and works as a musician.This is not the first time that Muzic Plus has presented work connected to a book, whether prose or poetry. The cited text explores the countless nuances and interpretations of the concept of "freedom." The titles of some of the paragraphs acted as the compass for our intuitive compositions, developed in real time. Is it possible to practise music freely without any individual dominance? Of course, it is. The purpose of this type of music is to keep the creative process rich and intense and the narrative non-linear, rather than striving for academic ambitions detached from reality, which often pander to the mainstream, becoming a sterile reflection of one's ego.
No. That's not the path we're following. Our aim is to foster and amplify live expressive freedom through music because, as Linton Kwesi Johnson said in his track Bass Culture, "As di culture alltah, When oppression scatta" (As culture changes, oppression dissipates)."-FMR
