Suite for vibraphone, glockenspiel, drum, woodblock, cowbell, objects

As in a cubist painting, Pasquale Mirra offers a suite with a two-dimensional form.
Unusual compositions alternate with structural and free improvisation, in a changing and and unpredictable way, as built by many fragments and “forms” disconnected from each other, but that show the different sides observed from several points of view.

Pasquale Mirra is one of the most interesting vibraphonists of Italian and international scene. He has collaborated and collaborates with great improvisers of the world stage, including: Michel Portal, Fred Frith, Nicole Mitchell, Tristan Honsinger, Ernst Rijseger, Rob Mazurek, Ballaké Sissoko, Buch Morris, Lansiné Kouyaté, Jeff Parker, Michael Blake and many others .
In 2013 he was considered the best vibraphonist from Italian magazine “Jazz it” in 2014 and one of the best musicians of the year for the critics of the magazine “Musica Jazz”.
Since 2008 he collaborates with renowned American percussionist Hamid Drake with whom he played and plays in several projects, participating in numerous festivals in the United States and Europe.
He is a member of the association Bassesfere, a collective of musicians committed to developing and disseminating improvised music.
