-Hi TUN, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?

Hello everybody and many thanks for inviting us to join this interview, It’s been a long year throughout the pandemic crisis and we couldn’t be happier to enter the summer season telling about our new album “New Door”.

-Can you talk to us more about your song “New Door”?

It’s the song that most represents our techno jazz souls. Improvisation finds huge space here showing a sort of attitude to break the rules by contrasting with an obsessive obstinate theme

-Did any event, in particular, inspire you to write this song?

Surely the theme was influenced by the repetition and obsession of the days during the lockdown period in which the song was composed and the only one among the others to have been written in those months.

-How was the filming process and experience behind the video?

The video has been conceived by Monnox, art director of the concept and the main character is Alinavatar’s puppet, a street artist based in our region. It tells of all of us stuck in these suspended times, frozen by an enemy out there who forces us to close the door behind ourselves. But other doors open, it’s enough to get a headphones pair. Now the only door to open is the one that leads and drags us to another intimate, personal, hidden place. The dancer dances in a wild, black empty space where anything can be. You are the dancer, we all are, and the music plays loud here where the dance is freedom and the outside becomes we desire

-Why naming the album after this song in particular?

“New Door“ is the name of the main railway station in Turin, our city, that station that has always been a crossroads of departures for new adventures, encounters, unexpected directions so farIt’s the station to which new adventures, encounters, unexpected directions have always belonged.

-How was the recording and writing process?

Our previous album “Jason” was recorded live in studio, with no overdubbings at all. “New door” was recorded during the lockdown, in separate tracks and different moments. This is why we wanted to give a different sound from a direct recording, that is typical of the jazz albums.Despite each of us wrote the compositions separately, the album has been arranged while rehearsing the musical ideas.We played all the instruments without any sequencer, relying only on our technical skills.

-What role does Italy play in your music?

The Jazz/Electronic scene in Italy is GROWING and we are happy to see a new wave of young musicians who can really play jazz but with an open mind and an open eye to the new sounds of electronic music.Many Festival like Jazz Re:Found and Locus are very careful and support the scene. For us a rather important role in our musical style is played by our city, Torino. We have been inspired by its multicultural energy, industrial soul and underground expressive power.

-Where did you find the inspiration for the songs and lyrics?

We focused on instrumental music, we don’t have a singer hahaFor sure our jazz background inspired us melodically and harmonically, however each song was also inspired by images, sounds and noises suggested by the different parts of our city, according to our personal point of view: the river, the traffic, the markets, for instance.
