Italian born, German based musical polymath Damian Dalla Torre is today releasing the first ever single under his own name, ‘Alles Neu’, a kaleidoscopic avant-folk masterpiece with crisp percussion and warm textures at the fore.Buoyancy rises through the soaring melodies of ‘Alles Neu’ like the symbolic phoenix from the ashes; a metaphor for the opportunities that arise with new beginnings. Euphoria may seem elusive, but in the determination to make peace with a world in flux, Damian Dalla Torre offers a compelling glimpse into an essential new artistic voice.
Damian Dalla Torre explains: “Alles Neu is a melancholic, yet encouraging gaze into the future. It’s the realization that change can only come from within ourselves.”
Damian Dalla Torre is a Leipzig-based tenor saxophonist, composer and producer who works in the areas of improvised and experimental music. After completing his studies at the Vienna Conservatory and the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig in March 2018, he founded the LOBSTER ensemble. An active member of groups such as Wild Brush, Antonia Hausmann Quartett, Brigade Futur 3, Beyond w / Bernhardt, and the Euregio Jazzwerkstatt, he has toured some of Europe’s most renowned festivals and clubs. ‘Alles Neu’ is his first solo outing, and comes out via Munich imprint Squama Records which has already brought us albums from Martin Brugger, Popp and Enji this year.
