Notes

Steven Spielberg's fantasy, enthusiasm and imagination to the power helped me a lot to synthesize the meaning of this discographic work of mine. I think this album represents the deepest meaning of my work in the discographic sector: the why, more than twenty years ago, I wanted to found an independent label at a time when the world of ideas in music was beginning its slow decline.
The Predators are us, who need to explore the world always one meter ahead: we are, with all our curiosity and imagination: we are, with an enthusiasm still intact.
Back in 2002 I had this idea: a game, first and foremost, but also a challenge to try to communicate with a concrete work the infinite possibilities that music offers to man to transform a single theme into countless different compositions.
So I asked some of the musicians with whom I have a deepest relationship, each to elaborate their own original and personal arrangement of the famous Indiana Jones theme, by the great John Williams.
As and more than I had hoped, a fresco was born in 7 paintings that explores every possible acoustic sound, an extraordinary quantity of different harmonic variations, every emotion of making music together.
Traveling through different genres - from symphonic music to choral music, to chamber music, from solo jazz to ensemble jazz, I hope that this musical idea of mine will fascinate you as much as it has fascinated me.
