BIJA the first album out
​
Slam records 556 2014
The Sanskrit term "bija" (seed) represents the source and at the same time the cause of all things. It is the vibration and the primordial sound from which it all began. From this fascination, in 2011 Bija were born.
This atypical trio, composed, somewhat by chance, of an electric guitar, a trumpet, and drums, made the decision to create music according to their personalities without musical prejudices.
It is the very idea of orchestration and arrangement that is put into question by this ensemble. The result is a dense writing, inspired by different musical perspectives such as rock, classical, world, and jazz, which constitutes the trio's musical backgrounds.
Altogether, it reflects a postmodern attitude that manifests itself in expressionist chiaroscuro, narrative melodies, odd times, and warm sounds.
Appearing on the first album are the band members, Francesco Pellizzari (drums and percussion), Gabriel Franco (electric guitar and loops), and Marco Puzzello (trumpet and flugelhorn) and also guest artists Emanuele Coluccia (sax) and Stefano Luigi Mangia(voice).
The album was produced thanks to a crowdfunding campaign initiated by the band on www.musicraiser.com
