Pipeline 5
by Giancarlo nino Locatelli
cover photo by Pietro Bologna
Produced by WE INSIST! Records

The Pipeline group begins as a trio, with Gianmaria and Simone. After a short period of free improvisation I suggested to face some compositions of mine, following a path that I’d been testing here and there for a while. In spite of the pieces being written quite traditionally, with a bass line, internal voices and in some cases even chord guidelines, I didn’t give Gianmaria and Simone the full score but I just played each piece repeatedly, leaving them free to improvise and slowly build a network of possibilities surrounding the main melody. Melody that in turn I modified following their “cushions”, “counter-melodies”, “voices” and “layers”.
The “movable plans” peculiarity of the trio’s music, its propensity to work on different layers also individually, it’s exactly what brought me the idea to amplify the number of voices, doubling guitar and contrabass by adding Tito and Sergio, quite different and somehow complementary to Simone and Gianmaria.
Giancarlo nino Locatelli

The basic elements are the search for the essential, for a transparent lightness which doesn’t exlude but indeed underlines emotional intensity; the solidity of structural thought, no matter whether improvised or composed; the full knowledge and respect for tradition, for the history that each instrument entails; the clear definition of the desired sound, perfectly outlined in order to give to each note the right weight in relation with other sounds – or with silence.
(Francesco Martinelli Pisa gennaio 2015)
