Max Fuschetto
Sùn Nà

Max Fuschetto is a composer from Campania, an oboist and saxophonist, and an expert in electronic music. He has two albums to his credit – “Frontiere” from 2005 dedicated to rewriting music by names such as Brian Eno, Michael Nyman, and Sakamoto, which also featured his original composition “Shadows & Papillons” - and “Popular Games” from 2010 - an album entirely made up of his original compositions. “Popular Games” received much acclaim and was broadcast by Rai Radio Tre and Deutschlandfunk Radio Berlin. He also collaborates with the Percussioni Ketoniche ensemble. Now his new work titled “Sùn Nà” is out for Hanagoori Music. It is a work characterized by the most unbridled contamination. It is the union of contemporary music, world music, and songwriter music. Electronic music and acoustic instrumentation blend wonderfully into a language dense with arcane echoes. For the occasion, Fuschetto surrounded himself with talented collaborators like Andrea Chimenti - who lends his voice in the final track “Les Roses D’Arbèn” -, Pasquale Capobianco and Irving Vairetti from the historic Osanna, Antonella Pelilli with her voice in the Arberesh language, and Giulio Costanzo from Percussioni Ketoniche. “Sùn Nà” boasts an exquisite and ethereal writing and makes crossover its stylistic hallmark. The composer from Campania stated: “For me, the combination of the musical thoughts of Bartok, Stravinskji, Debussy and those of the Ewe tribes of Ghana, the Aka Pygmies of Central Africa is all one.” This is precisely the true meaning of the album. To fully understand the scope of “Sùn Nà”, one must immerse oneself in the pancultural maelstrom evoked by Fuschetto. It is not an easy-to-listen album, but if you pay the right attention, you will find yourself facing very original music. Certainly, it remains a work that I would recommend to lovers of experimentation and world music and to those who are not afraid to face “difficult” music. Distributed by Audioglobe.
