It is the vibration and the primordial sound from which it all began. From this fascination, in 2011 Bija was 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. --------------------------------------------------- Il termine Sanscrito «bija» (seme) rappresenta l'origine e al tempo stesso la causa di tutte le cose. È la vibrazione, il suono primordiale da cui ha avuto principio ogni cosa. Da questa fascinazione nascono nel 2011 i Bija. Un trio atipico chitarra elettrica, tromba e batteria, un po' un caso, un po' la scelta di provare a camminare su sentieri personali. È l'idea stessa di orchestrazione e di arrangiamento che viene messa in discussione da questa formazione. Il risultato è una scrittura fitta, che pesca dai diversi ambienti musicali frequentati dai tre, dal rock alla classica alla world e ovviamente al jazz. Un'attitudine postmoderna che si manifesta in chiaroscuri espressionistici, melodie narrative, tempi dispari e suoni caldi.

Musicraiser page: http://www.musicraiser.com/projects/1402-il-primo-disco-dei-bija Dopo circa 2 anni di live e di ricerca musicale-compositiva, i Bija vogliono concretizzare tutte le loro energie nel loro primo DISCO. I BIJA hanno un'infinità di musica e di passione, ma, da bravi musicisti, non hanno il potere economico per sostenere le spese di un obbiettivo così importante. Perciò il contributo dei RAISER ci aiuterà a sostenere parte delle spese necessarie a concretizzare il nostro lavoro. La più grande ricompensa con cui vi possiamo ricambiare è LA NOSTRA MUSICA. http://www.facebook.com/bijamusic http://www.twitter.com/Bijamusic

Bija - 0 (zero) http://www.facebook.com/bijamusic http://www.twitter.com/Bijamusic -Francesco Pellizzari (drum & kalamengonì) -Gabriele di Franco (el Guit & Loop) -Marco Puzzello (Trumpet & Flugelhorn) Feat. Chabi Abdulrahman In this song, you have listened: -bicycle spokes , -monkey spanners , -bicycle brakes , -flexible tube , .sheet iron. For everything existing there's a Bija, Bija is the beginning, it's the Zero. The three musicians are in perpetual dialogue, imprinting a never systematic groove, constantly electrifying their audience. The absence of a bass in the band isn't a problem for the trio, on the contrary, it allows for a very open kind of jazz, giving much room and freedom. Their compositions are bold, colourful, definitely modern and open-ended. The music travels, moves, shakes.
