Marta having fun, dreaming, getting upset then happy again
Marta is an italian songwriter, singer and strumentist who, in the last ten years, has been touring and collaborating with many international musicians and songwriters - she began singing with the Australian-Italian group Micevice, and since 2004 key member of John Parish band (PJ Harvey, Eels, Tracy Chapman, etc.). She's also well known for her collaboration with the Australian songwriter Hugo Race in their outfit Sepiatone (Desvelos IT, Minty Fresh rec. Usa), for touring as keyboard player and vocalist in the latest band formation of Hugo's True Spirit.
Now based in Berlin she wrote and releases her new solo album “About Anything” with Solaris Empire and Desvelos Record, produced here together with Dugald Jayes, and in Bristol with John Parish.
Beside singing, Marta plays piano, rhodes, hammond, synth, guitar, percussions - she likes to explore a wide range of electronic and analogic sounds; her original style combines minimal arrangements and a "unique kind of playing, stumbling unpredictably between delicacy and distortion"
Critics used comparison as such Francoise Hardy , Hope Sandoval, Dusty Springfield to describe the unmistakable character of her voice which with its "indifferent intensity, evokes the slightly disquieting atmosphere of a road movie in slow motion" commenting on the delicate soul and psychedelic tangents of her songs.
Her more recent collaborations as vocalist are on recordings by the jazz ambient duo The Dining Rooms, on the upcoming Lilium aka Pascal Humbert's album (Woven Hand). In Berlin at the moment she is collaborating with the electronic artist Sebastian Meissner (Klimek)
"Like the man who awoke to find himself drowning in a river, you may
roam the dark with 4 million other somnambulists - and never know it.
One soldier, after one of these attacks, he revealed that he had been
dreaming about trying to plow a field with a balky mule. ‘That mule
made me so darn mad I socked it,' he said. When he awoke, he found that
he had hit his wife in the face and broken her eardrum. His lawyer
successfully defended him by arguing that no one could be held
accountable for acts committed in his sleep. Why doesn’t he, like the
rest of us, lie quietly and work out the worries of his subconscious in
dreams of action, instead of acting out his dreams?"
'Strange facts about sleepwalking', in Mechanix Illustrated (Mar, 1949)

Il collettivo Improvvisatore Involontario
sbarca per la prima volta a Roma con il suo progetto più ingombrante e
rumoroso. Naked Musicians si propone al pubblico romano in occasione del lancio
del suo terzo capitolo discografico: l’album Emiliano Culastrisce.
Questo disco costituisce l'opera inaugurale per il nuovo corso
grafico dell'etichetta catanese (ma ormai sempre più cosmopolita, con oltre 30
membri tra Roma, Bologna, Venezia, Udine, Parigi e New York), ma non è sola:
Improvvisatore Involontario esce contemporaneamente con 3 nuovi prodotti.
Anche gli altri 2, ossia La commissione D'Ascolto
- l'infuocato duello piano/drums che costituisce l'esordio
di War Duo (Marcello Di Lorenzo e Francesco Cusa), e Origins
of Body Hammer - altra opera battesimale per un mix di elettronica
e improvvisazione con Carlo Natoli, Francesco Cusa ed Emiliano Cinquerrui
- saranno presentati all'INIT in anteprima in questa serata
d'eccezione.
Ingresso € 5
Ingresso + T-shirt di Improvvisatore Involontario € 10.
