<div class=""><p class="">Songs/Signs" is the third
album by Flos and sums eight years' sound interactions between Luca
Formentini and Stefano
Castagna. Together they have been working in concerts, site-specific
live improvisations,
literary readings, art galleries and exhibitions like La Biennale di
Venezia, although having
each a separate and distinct musical activity.
The tracks are mainly based on the sounds produced
by "Tavole di Flos", DIY soundboards
assembling strings, ropes, microphones and assorted objects
that can generate any sound that
can be further treated electronically.</p>

<div class=""><p class="">"Songs" contains
tracks structured in the form of songs, taming the board sounds to a
more traditional
musical language with the help of harmonic instruments. Their dialogue
creates and
explores a single, original musical flow with new balances and different
sounds, with outstanding
guests like Laurie Amat, Markus Stockhausen e Steve Piccolo.</p><p class="">
The "Signs" album peculiarity is
that it contains only live improvisations, rearranged and mixed so
as to create an
uninterrupted 44-minute narrative suite in 15 movements.
The philosophy of improvisation is
essential to Flos as it makes the performance an actuality where
musicians have to tune in
to each other in an unpredictable interplay built around why, step by<br class="">
step, organizes
itself or unwinds randomly.
Thus, there grows the "flos", the "flower" of music or best
perceptible part of musical interaction.</p>
