Clouds And Shining Trees, CAST... "... e se ancora non avete compreso, salite sull'albero più luccicante ed allungate una mano verso le nuvole... riuscirete a percepire di cosa son fatte" Mirco Salvadori, Rockerilla - Lug/Sett 2009 "... and if you still haven't understood, climb the most shining tree, reach up to the clouds with your hand... and you will be able to perceive what they are made of"
www.myspaceeditor.it “In questi giorni che trascorrono nella serenità dell’animo e nella pace della mente, vedo me stesso nelle nuvole e negli alberi splendenti” Claudio Pacagnan (December 27, 2008) “ In these days that are passing into the serenity of soul and into the peace of mind, I see myself in the clouds and in the shining trees”
CLOUDS AND SHINING TREES is Claudio Pacagnan.
After several decades as songwriter, singer, guitarist and behind the scenes as experimenter of new forms of sounds, and the last 10 years dedicated to spiritual research, he presents on March 2009 a new musical work: CAST. Six musical excerpts in his new project: CLOUDS AND SHINING TREES, a new experience with sounds inspired by nature, mountain journeys, cosmic skies and a lot of delays and reverberations.
Influenced in the middle of Seventies by rock and jazz artists such as Bruce Cockburn, Dan Ar Braz, John Martyn, Jerry Garcia, John McLaughlin etc., C.P. started to play the guitar when he was very young and after a year passed to play the drums. At school he learned to play the flute and harmonica with top grades. A particular note: when he started to play the guitar he didn’t know about tuning the instrument and so, for a long time, every time he played the guitar it was tuned to fantasy chords. So he developed a good sense of sound and when he discovered that the guitar has a standard tune he discovered the world of standard notes and chords. Then the next step was to know and to study the “open tunes”. It was easy for him to learn and to invent new chords with beautiful sounds and harmonies.
In 1985 he was guitarist in the dark/new wave group Cleverness and he started to play the guitar with delays and reverbs influenced by his guitar hero The Edge (U2).
In 1987 he founded his own project-group called Rejoice. He composed and sang the songs, supported by a powerful group. Rejoice was well known in Europe, in particular in France and Denmark.
Since 1988 some tapes and a 12” vinyl were produced in his home analog recording studio.
In 1995 he recorded some experimental songs sung in Italian.
So today a new project, a new sound line, a new musical life, a new inner awareness.
