AGA (Drummer Caffè Productions)
Vivi Wich

AGA
is a composer, creative performer and founder of the Drummer Caffè label. AGA is Alessandro Antolini, drummer and drum teacher for more than twenty years, graduated from Middlesex University in London. The artist collaborated with the late Maestro Ezio Bosso and released 4 albums entirely composed by him: R[Evolution], “Dream On” and the recent “IMAGINE” and “SHORT B-MOVIES”. In the musician’s intense concert activity, important episodes stand out in Italian and European theaters and clubs. Of note is his participation in the Sanremo Rock final for two consecutive years, where he received excellent reviews from critics. The openings of Tom Barman (dEUS) and Blaine L.Reininger (Tuxedomoon) are suggestive.
Live AGA is a duo that combines sound with images. The electronically derived sound is placed before a layer of acoustic rhythm. The images that are sometimes the protagonists take the listener on a musical journey made up of concepts but above all sensorial aspects. Made in multiple locations, it finds its ideal form in places where music is necessary.

Viviré is a music project by soundartist Vivi Wich about connection and hope. Landscapes of sound and emotion present themselves as longform pieces of synthesizer music. Each track is composed as a painting inspired by the emotions of hopeful, exciting, tense, devastating, depressed, helpless, connecting and eye opening trajectories in life. The sound engine to meet this was designed to navigate tensions between balance and chaos, harmony and dissonance, stability and fragility. Time is not of the essence, there is no progression, everything is present at the same time. Viviré’s performances are improvised interpretations of the paintings. For listeners they’re an invitation to scour the landscapes of sound and emotion for a sense of connection and hope.
