Massimo Cavallaro

Terra che Brucia (burning land) is an original concept inspired by documentary footage filmed by Italy's Panaria Film between 1948 and 1950. The performance consists of a live musical performance by a five-piece ensemble accompanied by projections of these rare films shot on Sicily and the Aeolian Islands.

The film is not mechanically superimposed, but meticulously interlaced with the musical composition of Massimo Cavallaro to narrate a story. The music creates a bridge between the past and present with a composition that uses both acoustic and electronic sound. The music references jazz, ethnic and techno in an authentic crossover of styles that typifies the Mediterranean experience.
