about

SemoComeSemo in Roman dialect means we are what we are.

The project’s idea takes shape from drummer and composer Tommaso Moretti’s need to confront his artistic inspirations. The musical result is a natural reflection of the musician’s life evolution. Decontextualized Italian folk elements find their own way to interact with the Chicago avant-garde context through a balanced formula of open improvisation and detailed composition. Sharp angles of complex rhythms are softened by open hearted melodies inspired by the the pastel colors of the Italian 60’s surrealism movie scene. Time illusions and nostalgic harmonies are used by the musicians as a tool to open a gate and connect with the poetry of that dreamy dimension and its goofy characters.

Received my copy of the second pressing today, and it is stunning. Flat, centered, dead quiet surfaces, and shockingly good sound. A triumph of craftsmanship. Well worth the wait. And the music, of course, is an incredible contemporary Chicago celebration. mats gunnars

Really this album is a masterclass in Hard-Bop, Post-Bop, Spiritual jazz, and soul jazz all wrapped up in a impressively cohesive package. It pays tribute to those that came before while still keeping an eye to the future/past. ATrott

Spotless new collection of moondog inspired tunes. The music is melodic and searching, the band perfectly balanced. Lyrical, layered and crowned by a soulful 'Pastoral'. Peluche Brutale
