Circle - una volta era Circle CD Alma de Nieto catalog number DNN 040C


 

Circle was a short lived group formed in the mid-seventies by Ruggero Tajè and Riccardo Sinigaglia, both pupils of Angelo Paccagnini and later composers and teachers of electronic music at Milan Conservatory. Paccagnini was one of the great post-Webern composers, along with Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna and Giacomo Manzoni. Ruggero and Riccardo joined forces with their friend Roberto “Birillo” Gotta, who played double bass in Gaetano Liguori’s group and other jazz groups coming from the Milanese area. “Birillo” Gotta was a multi-instrumentalist, collector of strange and self-built instruments; he was also a very well-known artist for his works in recycled art. He died too early, at the age of 69 in 2022. This CD contains two extended pieces of free improvisation with elements of avant-rock and jazz and is entirely dedicated to “Birillo”.
