.... in this recording the first absolute edition of the Panji project conceived by Gianni Lenoci ... an ancient Oriental Poem .... improvised music, composed in instant compositions ... in a summer night ..
"(...) Overwhelming instant composition" Panji ". Furious, carnal. An invocation and an invective, spit angrily into the all-absorbing darkness. A quintet in tense Herzogian action, recorded live at the Roccella Jonica Jazz Festival, in the August 2009. Gianni Lenoci (piano, electronics), Marcello Magliocchi (drums and percussion), the Portuguese Carlos Zingaro on the violin, the double bass of the French Joëlle Léandre, the contemporary vocalism of the Basque Benat Achiary. Raw, dizzying performance. Severe and tumultuous practice , which literally sparks, sparks in the night. Son improper, severe classical contemplations, surreal scratches and thrilling, deep, shining tribal Motorik, between East and reptilian movement. Tuva, the scream of timeless folk songs, always equal to themselves , torn and dusty. Of grumpy and poignant beauty. " M. Carcasi, Kathodik 2012.
