Ichos Percussion nasce nel 2013 con l’intento di esplorare e diffondere il repertorio per ensemble di percussioni, spesso poco conosciuto ma estremamente coinvolgente. I brani eseguiti comprendono i più grandi capolavori di autori che sono divenuti pietre miliari nel genere (da Cage a Reich, da Zivkovic a Glass), e di numerosi compositori italiani (tra gli altri, Boccadoro, Sollima, Ugoletti, Cara). A giugno 2022 è uscito Kinds Evolution, il loro primo album, che include le Three Constructions di Cage e alcuni brani scritti espressamente per l’ensemble da Paolo Ugoletti e Davide Martiello. In vista dell’incisione dei brani di Cage, l’ensemble ha svolto un’approfondita ricerca su strumenti e timbri che potessero soddisfare la tradizione e, al contempo, risultare estremamente attuali. Tra i prossimi impegni, molteplici concerti in Italia, sia con programmi “tradizionali” per percussioni sia con repertorio jazz.
Ichos Percussion was founded in 2013 with the aim of exploring the extremely engaging repertoire for percussion ensemble. The ensemble’s repertoire includes masterpieces by composers who have become milestones in the genre (Cage, Reich, Varése, Zivkovic, Glass), and many Italian composers (among others, Boccadoro, Sollima, Ugoletti, Cara). In June 2022 was released Kinds Evolution, the ensemble’s first album, which includes Cage’s Three Constructions and a few works especially written by Italian composers. For the recording, the ensemble made an in-depth research on instrumentation and timbres so to respect tradition as well as giving a touch new. Upcoming highlights include several concerts in Italy with “traditional” percussions’ repertoire as well as jazz one.
