New roads for new musical journeys After "Musique d'Urt", published in 1993 by UNIT Records (UTR 4057), Ivano Torre reaches a second wedge of what should become his Urt-trilogy (Urt-tru-logy). Percussionist born and raised in Bellinzona, in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, Torre has distinguished himself as an original, and in certain ways anomalous, figure of the National music scene. Open to the most diverse sonorous experiences, transversal researcher of possible music which include jazz, rock, free form, avant-garde, free improvisation and other, Ivano Torre is constantly searching for new roads for new musical journeys. His personalism in playing music stems from a genuine and fresh curiosity for the sound which he uses. Urt, a mask whose psychological values are the background of this record, is also self-constructed. "Urt' O Logique" confirms, widens and deepens the points and the intuitions of the preceding work. With the presence of the tuba and of the accordion in addition to the baritone saxophone and the alto saxophone the leader outlines his partiality for the unusual bringing together of instruments and for recurring to the sonority of the extreme registers, an aspect which we find in the characteristic of his percussion equipment and in the way that he is used to tune his drums. In regard to the composition and the arrangement, Torre seems to act with greater awareness of the mechanisms, rational and not, which inform his music.
