“I like observing the world around me. I see it as if it were populated by a multitude of realities, one over the other, like layers, windows, or mirrors that reflect our existence and in which we see ourselves as we are or how we would like to be… What if we changed the angle from which we look? It takes courage to do that... Nothing is static, nothing is the same as it was before, and it will not be the same in a few moments. The light around us is transformed, and our realities generate change, and as a result offer us a wide range of possibilities, a continuum of alternatives in motion. You have to capture them! Our existence fluctuates depending on the light that shines on us, depending on the angle from which we observe it, and, of course, on the angle from which we are being observed...” says Anthus.
And this is also true of Calidoscòpic, Anthus’s third album. An eclectic, multifaceted disc with many meanings and many influences, from the most contemporary jazz to the most classical, as well as a rich range of sounds, from Mediterranean music to rap. And what does all this sound like? What do these genres have in common? They all transmit an immense love for music and for the desire to make music
In short, Calidoscòpic is a celebration of diversity, of change, of evolution.
In his latest album, Anthus takes his beloved jazz to the limit in order to explore new territories. His voice no longer serves only to sing, but becomes another instrument, like the drums, the piano, the double bass or the trumpet. For Calidoscòpic is authentic, true auteur jazz, innovative, surprising and a pure delight for all those who listen to the ten tracks on the disc. Of these, four are instrumentals and four are sung in Catalan, one in English and one in an invented language, a fusion of Catalan, Sicilian, French and Neapolitan.
Welcome to the kaleidoscopic world of Anthus. Enjoy the journey!
