   About Nicolas Caloia

If no two snowflakes look the same then no two musicians should sound the same either. I am drawn to artists who are like orange snowflakes or like snowflakes that don’t melt, or like snowflakes carved out of soap.

I am composing for and leading the quartet Tilting with Jean Derome on sax, Alexandre Grogg at the piano and Robert Kraft on the drums.

Off and on for the past 10 years I have been leading, composing and arranging for the 30 piece Ratchet Orchestra . I love this group but have a hard time describing it.

I am in a band with Lori Freedman and Danielle Roger called FreC, we should probably record soon.

I play in another trio called BCH with Chris Burns and John Heward. We have a rather peculiar record called Presence out on the label no type. 

I also play with John Heward, Chris Burns, Sam Shalabi, Michel Bonneau, Tierry Amar, Gordon Allen, Eric Lewis , and Brian Lypson in the monumental Murray Street Band.

I work with Romanian violin virtuoso Carmen Piculeata in his group Paradox.

Periodically I am called to play with musicians of international renown such as Joe McPhee, Steve Lacy, Hassan Hakmoun, Malcolm Goldstein, Tristan Honsinger and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia.

Recently I went to Manhattan to play at Stone (John Zorn’s room) when Ambience Magnetique was invited. On this label I have records with Jean Derome, Lori Freedman, Joanne Hétu , and Robert M. Lepage.

I am always trying to find some new sound that vibrates in an unusual way. This has led me to working with musicians who play non-western music. 

Since 1990 I have played and recorded with several North African groups: Cheb Dino, Hassan El Hadi, the Nomads, Timgad and currently with Saïd Mesnaoui

For nine long years I have performed and recorded with Bansuri player Catherine Potter's Dunya Project.
