Info for Maurizio Pisati: Set7

I heard the Sette Studi (Seven Studies) for the first time at the age of nineteen. I was fascinated and decided that I wanted to be an interpreter of contemporary music. Impressed by those new guitar sounds, I wrote to Maurizio Pisati to ask to meet him: I imagined a pre- pared guitar, with some scordaturas and used in an unconventional way. I still remember his first words: “there is no scordatura, no preparation. These sounds belong to the guitar.” Since that meeting, the Sette Studi have been like a beacon, faithful travelling companions for my con- certs in Europe. After a few years the desire to record them was born: they were to be the nucleus of my first record.

The recording project took shape in Milan during a further meeting with Maurizio who, talking about the opera Theatre of Dawn*, told me that in it there were Sette Duo (Seven Duos) for guitar and seven different instruments, each inspired by the Sette Studi for the classic guitar”. What better occasion than a record to bring together the Sette Studi and the Sette Duo for guitar and the same number of instruments? And that is how Set7 was born. (Ruben Mattia Santorsa)
