Anaphora
Queer Pianist- Composer Filippo Deorsola presents Anaphora, a trio that “switches and mixes several genres and rhythms in an incredibly mastered and enjoyable way” [Best of Jazz, US]. With their new album [Bloom], Anaphora brews a kaleidoscopic musical potion centred around the preparation of the piano with wooden objects altering the sound of the instrument. A condensate of percussive and textural influences from Balinese gamelan where driven themes and hypnotic grooves intertwine with subtlety. A polyphonic exercise in dreaming out sounds and sounding out dreams, [Bloom] reveals itself to be a singularly athletic hybrid between jazz and non-European rhythmic traditions. An athletic criss-cross between jazz and non-european musical traditions centered around wood-based piano preparation, Anaphora explores the power within the collective process of dreaming out sounds and sounding out dreams. A genre and gender-free hybrid, the album [Bloom] creates a colourful textural soundscape where techno-reminiscent urban grooves bond with cyclical rhythmic machineries and hypnotic melodies.

Iago Fernández
Iago Fernández is a drummer who plays and composes as if he were writing poetry. No wonder the Galician-born musician is called a "drum poet", especially since, in addition to his award-winning drumming, he actually writes poems and paints colorful visual worlds. In this artistic manifestation, Fernández explores his inner self and deals with the essence of his psyche. A balancing act between sun and ocean, light and dark, equally audible in the compositions of the Swiss by choice. His spectrum ranges from jazz music to Radiohead, from classical music to popular music from Brazil, Portugal and Galicia, recorded on six albums with collaborators such as Mark Turner, Yumi Ito, Joris Roelofs, Reinier Elizarde "El Negrón", Enrique Oliver and André Fernandes, among others. Since an early age, Iago Fernandez has performed regularly at festivals and clubs in America, Asia and throughout Europe, especially in Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Portugal. He has performed with artists such as Avishai Cohen (trumpet), Lionel Loueke, Perico Sambeat, Jesse van Ruller, Jorge Rossy, Steve Nelson and many others. Fernández can also be heard on more than 50 albums, six of them as bandleader and composer: "Agromando" (2011), "Acougo" (2015), "Brisa" (2016), "Acougo Live" (2020), "Luzada" (2022) and "Suite Natural" (2024). Other projects currently include Yumi Ito, WIZ, Iannis Obiols, Xan Campos, Fernando Brox Quintet, Álvaro Ocón, and Martin Theurillat, among others.
