Giovanni Sollima & Lasse Gjertsen

Sometimes music ends up being the places it takes you.

Giovanni Sollima is an Italian cellist/composer. As far as his composing, a lot of it is what they call "minimalism" -- bars of music that are repeated over and over again, to a point where you think, "ah, nuts..!" ... but the subtle changes creep in and you can get hooked. Depending where your heads at, it can be quite hypnotic.

What follows is a 2-part video made and incredibly edited by Lasse Gjerston, a Norweigan animator, based on two of Sollima's compositions Terra Aria and Concerto Rotondo (Copyright: Casa Musicale Sonzogno, Milan, 2007).





Bravo.
