A THOUSAND RAWHIDE DIAPHRAGMS,
Maurizio Ravalico's new album
is out on October 25 2024
Available on limited edition three-fold digisleeve cd, download and streaming
Streaming is easy, Spotify is cheap, But listening to an album while savouring a good looking package with hands and eye, taking in the pictures that were created to accompany it while reading long and insightful liner notes has no match.
And, think of the majority of the money you've spent for such experience going to the artist, instead of up the arse of some CEO who hasn't written a good melody in his entire life.
Be a good girl; Be a good boy. Don't be a shallow swimmer. Buy physical.
Pre-sales are now open on Not Applicable Recordings' Bandcamp
Maurizio Ravalico is a percussionist, composer, producer and explorer of the sound of all things. Based in London since 1991, he is also frequently collaborating with productions in France, Germany and Italy. His lifelong penchant for cross-pollinating ideas, musical styles and art forms has led him to navigate successfully in realms as divergent as funk, pop, salsa, theatre, contemporary dance, experimental composition, poetry, free-form improvisation, jazz and electronic music.
Maurizio has played with Paul McCartney, Jamiroquai, the James Taylor Quartet, Paul Young, Snowboy, Alex Wilson, Steve Beresford, Pat Thomas, Eska Mtungwazi, Dele Sosimi and many others. These days Maurizio is playing percussion with Tamar Osborn's Collocutor, Phil Dawson's quintet, the extended string quartet Phaedra Ensemble, and singer/songwriters Noga Ritter and Attawalpa. He has toured all over Europe with his solo percussion act between 2017 and 2019, and released his solo repertoire on the album 'Nobody's Husband, Nobody's Dad'. His most recent project is The New Conga Lab, an academic platform of new studies for conga drums, which will be followed in Autumn 2024 by 'A Thousand Rawhide Diaphragms', and album of new music for congas.
