Silo is the product of three conscientious improvisers who had the rare opportunity of daily rehearsal and exploration for 20 days in upstate New York. The result is a special communication and a group sound that is organic, biological, mechanical, and very personal. The three players are making their first appearances on the international improvisation scene: Leonel Kaplan with his work with Wade Matthews and Axel Dorner, Nate Wooley with his solo work on Creative Sources Recordings, with his trio Blue Collar and many sideman projects in New York, and Audrey Chen with her stellar new album, LIMN with Tasuya Nakatani and work with Gianni Gebbia. The trio has a new cd out on Utech records.

Composer, saxophonist and sound artist, Alessandro Bosetti works on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken communication and produced text-sound compositions featured in live performances, radio broadcastings and published recordings. In his work he moves on the line between sound anthropology and composition often including relation, translation and misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and interviews often build the basis for his abstract compositions. As a saxophonist he has developed an original instrumental language that incorporates extended techniques, noises, and a strong influence from electronic music.
