Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia and his trio develop directions established on their acclaimed 2011 release 'The River of Anyder' with a new selection of chants, hymns and dances, all written by Battaglia and inspired by descriptions of visionary places from art and literature - from Alfred Kubin, Jonathan Swift or Charles Fourier to Italo Calvino.
'Songways' finds "a new harmonic balance between archaic modal pre-tonal chant and dances, pure tonal songs and hymns and abstract texture," Battgalia says, "thus documenting the natural development of the Trio life, with a larger space for action from the drums".
