Calibro 35 - Convergere in giambellino

CALIBRO 35

The London Roots Festival will host an audiovisual concert dedicated to the music of Ennio Morricone.

In an era where the boundaries between the arts merge and blur, the Ennio Morricone Audiovisual Concert offers an unprecedented exploration of Ennio Morricone's artistry, drawing inspiration from Abel Gance's vision of cinema as a means to "listen through the eyes."

This ambitious and novel journey pairs some of the most famous film scores by the celebrated Roman composer with images from the films they were composed for, creating a true symphonic and visual dialogue. It is an artistically valuable moment that the Italian Cultural Institute is pleased to produce in its path of innovation tightly linked with the preservation of memory.

The event will unfold through a live performance where music and visual art intertwine in an audiovisual narrative. Film frames and cinematic dialogues are transformed into performative tools, played and orchestrated in real-time by Calibro 35 and Studio Cliché. This audiovisual concert presents a journey through the emotions, stories, and settings of the films that have made cinema history, enriched by Morricone's unforgettable compositions.

The event not only celebrates the work of a Maestro but also serves as a cultural experiment, pushing the boundaries of the spectator experience and artistic expression. Through advanced technology, the Ennio Morricone Audiovisual Concert offers a new way to experience culture and art.

Since the band founding in 2007, “Il Maestro” Morricone represents a vital inspiration for all Calibro’s members: Tommaso Colliva, Massimo Martellotta, Enrico Gabrielli and Fabio Rondanini.

The Italian composer, renowned worldwide for his soundtracks, is deeply rooted in the artistic activity of CALIBRO 35. “Trafelato” from the soundtrack of “Giornata per L’Ariete” was the first track recorded by Calibro 35 when the band first gathered in the studio on July 21 2007 and was later released in the band 2008’s self-titled debut album.

"Il Maestro" has always been a source of inspiration for Calibro 35, traces of his work can be found in each of their seven studio albums. This visceral and profound relationship, based on deep research and study of his vast catalogue, led CALIBRO 35 in 2022 to dedicate a double album to Morricone, "SCACCO AL MAESTRO," an ambitious project that explores all the facets of Morricone’s work: from crime to western, and horror themes.

This event is just another milestone in CALIBRO 35's prolific international career: recognized worldwide as one of the coolest projects on the independent music scene, they have been sampled by artists like Dr. Dre in Compton ("One Shot One Kill" feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay Z ("Picasso Baby"), The Child of Lov & Damon Albarn ("One Day") and Demigodz ("The Summer Of Sam"). They have played on stages all over Europe and collaborated with PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Muse, Stewart Copeland, and Rokia Traoré.
