After the critical success of their latest album "Fattore Ambientale" (Taverna Records 2012) The Star Pillow make a step forward in exploring the mysterious world of sounds and impressions that is their music and they do it with the help of a special guest , Bruno Romani, on sax and flutes, a member of historic italian underground alternative scene (Detonation, Xabier Iriondo, Alice, No Guru, etc) and perfectly at home in the depths of improvisation more radical. So then in "Via del Chiasso" electronics allows for interaction among three sensitivity in listening that are launched without network paths mold free-jazz improvisation, where the instruments chasing each other with quick appearance and then engage in dialogue with each other in continuous evolution. The music is tinged with expectation, of mystery, like a story without words. The common thread is ideas, fleeting and constantly changing, used as a map of a surreal journey and charming.
Stefano Giust, a key figure in the Italian experimental and improvised music, has shown great interest in this album wanting strongly in the catalog of his label Setola di Maiale. This new production also marks the birth of "Insight Sessions", a new series of Taverna Records (label of the same Paolo Monti) dedicated to the production of more experimental and improvisational.
