"In late February we played our first concert together in a wonderful space in Savignone Liguria near the town of Busalla about an hour from Genova. A beautiful old barn or cascina as it is called in Liguria , Cascina Pre Angiou run by Associazione Altravallescrivia a crew of great enthusiasts and fantastic hosts. Friends and families were all invited and we all eat a great minestrone and pasta and drank good wine at long tables before the concert began. There were several children present in the audience which is very audible in the recording ( no apologies there ) .,…and it was great to witness how such young minds deal with this kind of music …abstract sounds free improvisation, noise and a few melodies in there as well… the weirder and more abstract we played the more the children reacted and seemed to enjoy it … we didn’t have to tone things down for fear of alienating or terrifying the little ones,,,, some of the adults maybe but not the kids. Actually everyone had a good time and it was a very special moment and the last concert we played before things locked down ..so it stays in our memory as if it happened yesterday. Were very grateful and happy to have had this chance to play together in this setting ….hope you enjoy it as much as we did. - Andy Moor
