Interview with Matteo Fraboni

 

・When and where were you born?

 

Bon 15^th October 1983, Marche region, Italy

 

・When did you start playing drums?

 

First drum class at 13

 

・What kind of music did you grow up listening to?

 

Grew up listening to a radio in the afternoon who was my best friend since I was 6 years old, I was singing all the melodies, memorizing them and playing with toy instruments as a ukulele and a toy violin

 

・Who were your musical influences?

 

Starting from rock pop from the 80ies, plus all progressive rock of the 70ies, until I didn’t receive formal education at the conservatory of pesaro with Bruno Tommaso and graduated at G.B. Martini conservatory of Bologna while playing with my teachers at 24. At 16yeaes old I discovered a Love supreme by John Coltrane who changed my vision on music and drumming.

 

・About your first album

 

My first album recorded in Brooklyn was a big deal for me,  received many awards and consideration internationally and my intention was to play modernly but still swinging as nowadays nobody Swing’s anymore. It was a research and also a visionary work to describe how society are changing.

 

・About the 2nd album

 

Latino was and is an album of HARDBOP with my original themes, it was recorded in Italy, always using my Philosophy to record live, as I search for ruoght Vynil sound in any of my productions.

 

・About the 3rd album.

 

India jazz vol 1 was my first attemp to record with an Indian band in mumbai, there were a great violin player featuring us and also in this case I wanted to record the jazz music that is on the air in India.

 

・About “After The Sail“

 

After the Sail is a metaphor of my life, is also an HARDBOP inspired work, with melodies I spontaneously sing or hear on the way in my journey in China or in the Mediterranean.

 

・Why are you in India now?

I’m based in Goa at the moment as in India I’m used to spend my winters since 2014 working in different cultural events.

 

・What are your future plans?

 

 

At the moment I’m writing you from Kathmandul, I’m working to record a new work dedicated to traditional folk songs of Nepal and I’m playing in town.

 

 

マッテオ・フラボーニ インタビュー

 

・いつ、どこで生まれたのですか？

 

1983年10月15日、イタリア・マルケ州

 

・いつ頃からドラムを始めましたか？

 

13歳で初めてドラムの授業を受けました。

 

・どんな音楽を聴いて育ったのですか？

 

6歳の頃から親友のラジオを聞きながら育ち、メロディーを全部覚えて歌い、ウクレレやおもちゃのバイオリンで遊んでいました。

 

・影響を受けた音楽家は？

 

80年代のロック・ポップスから始まり、それと70年代のすべてのプログレッシブ・ロックまで。

私はペサロ音楽院でブルーノ・トマソに師事するまで正式な教育を受けなかった。24歳でボローニャのG.B. マルティーニ音楽院で先生と一緒に演奏しながら卒業しました。

16歳の時にジョン・コルトレーンのLove supremeに出会って、音楽とドラムに対する考え方が変わりました。

 

・ファーストアルバム「This is my music」について

 

ブルックリンで録音した私のファーストアルバムは、私にとって大きな意味を持ち、国際的に多くの賞や評価を受けました。私の意図は、現代的な演奏をしながらも、今では誰もスウィングしていないようなスウィングをすることでした。このアルバムは、社会がどのように変化しているかを表現するためのリサーチであり、また先見性のある作品でもありました。

 

・2ndアルバム「Latino」について

 

私の作曲したオリジナル・テーマを持ったイタリアで録音されたこのアルバムは、常にフィロソフィーを使ってライブ録音されています。自分の作品の中で最も美しいヴァイナル・サウンドを追求しています。

 

・3rdアルバム「India jazz vol.1」について。

 

「India jazz vol.1」は、ムンバイでインドのバンドと初めてレコーディングしたもので、素晴らしいバイオリン奏者が参加していましたし、今回はインドで放送されているジャズ音楽を録音したかったのです。

 

・“After The Sail "について

 

「After The Sail」は、私の人生のメタファーであり、中国や地中海の旅の途中で自然に歌ったり聞いたりしたメロディーにインスパイアされたハードバップです。

 

なぜ今インドにいるのですか？

 

2014年から冬はインドで様々な文化的なイベントに携わることが多いので、今はゴアを拠点に活動しています。

 

今後の予定は？

 

今はカトマンズから手紙を書いていて、ネパールの伝統的な民謡に捧げる新しい作品のレコーディングに取り組んでいますし、街で演奏もしています。
