After three years of work, here finally is “Change”, a work which represents the idea of evolution of a human being. The complexity of growing and finding a solid place in a modern and chaotic society through a musical novel rich of several influences.
From electronic music to traditional jazz, from modern vanguardes to experimental rock, “Change” is a multiform texture of sounds and voices with a solid focus to her majesty the melody and songform.
From be-bop to electronic music, from modal jazz to 90's rock.
