Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel represents a stunning evolution in Italian music. The veteran six piece ensemble have spent the past quarter century 'curating' a completely new sound built from elements of vintage Italian songs and mixed with imprints of tango and baião, the melancholy influences of indie rock and bits of French chanson. Cinematic melodies overlaid with languid electronic beats result in an international sound that is
tantalizingly familiar yet wonderfully fresh. This is cutting edge Italian music. Avion Travel have recorded eight albums to date including their seminal 1999 release "Cirano" which was produced by Arto Lindsay. Tracks from the album are still widely used in Italian television commercials. - |
