ECHOLOGIA

ALBUM OF PS5 BY HYPERJAZZ

After two years and a half, Pietro Santangelo (formerly Nu Genea sax player) and his PS5 ensemble are back to Hyperjazz Records with a brand new album: Echologia.

‘Echologia’ draws inspiration from the concept of natural biodiversity as a metaphor for contamination, coexistence, and equilibrium. Just as biological agents contribute to the vitality of an ecosystem, seemingly distant musical languages become balancing forces within a fertile and flourishing sonic environment. In this context, multiculturalism evolves into true coexistence..

As in the previous ‘Unconscious Collective’ (Hyperjazz, 2021), suggestive saxophone textures intertwine on a solid rhythmic equilibrium and move naturally along an imaginary line highlighting the ancestral connection between Africa and the Mediterranean Sea.

In the background, the tribute to the earlier Jamaican dub masters with a strong use of vintage echoes in the mixing phase.

Album cover by Sabrina Cirillo is inspired by the myth of the nymph Echo, the Oread condemned by Juno to be able to express herself by repeating only the last words of the interlocutor, who died of pain due to the impossibility of communicating her love to Narcissus.
