An album that is definitely different from all previous ones by\u00a0Quadro Nuevo.
\nFull of archaic power, bronze timbres and primal rhythms.<\/p>\n

You’ll find hymnal improvisations alongside a driven ska groove,\u00a0a sea bossa nova in early-season 5\/4 time as well as a heartfelt\u00a0lullaby for the fallen Icarus or an earthy ballad for the waiting\u00a0Penelope.<\/p>\n

There were inspirations.
\nOdysseus’ swashbuckling journey back to the old homeland.
\nAeneas’ search for a new home.
\nIcarus’ flight and flight to freedom.
\nJason and his Argonaut companions hunting for the Golden Fleece as a symbol of power, wealth, luck, or\u00a0even wisdom.
\nThe great journeys, interwoven a thousand times with the gods and myths of antiquity, became central\u00a0epics of Western culture.<\/p>\n

What relevance do they have in our modern society?
\nDo their settings offer more than sunny bathing, Mediterranean food and a few temple remains?
\nCan we even derive references to current issues such as migration, climate change or the littering of the\u00a0oceans?<\/p>\n

An adventurous collective around the band Quadro Nuevo traced these questions.
\nThe answers should be neither scientific nor political.<\/p>\n

But artistic.<\/p>\n

“Like children on a great adventure playground, we sail through the myth-enshrouded world of the Aeolians.
\nMediterranean islands far removed from our digital high-speed age. Bubbling volcanoes, blue sea\u00a0depths, rocks like sculptures formed by an artist’s hand.
\nJason and Aeneas strayed here, Odysseus forgot time with the nymph Calypso.
\nAnd it is quite possible that Icarus, on his flight to freedom, looked down from high above into Etna or\u00a0Stromboli.<\/p>\n

We read and philosophize, immerse ourselves in millennia-old stories. We develop scenes together. With\u00a0great enthusiasm, we capture our fantasies in photos and stage videos. In this way, we meet gods and\u00a0heroes in the flesh.
\nThe sorceress Circe on a southern Italian junkyard or Athena proudly on black rock. Odys-seus on the\u00a0run from Poseidon, recently adorned with an octopus as a headdress. Now, however, he ages as a sea\u00a0god in plastic regalia.
\nHephaistos forging in the sulfur steam, Zeus self-confidently moaning in the archaeological excavation\u00a0field.
\nThe Golden Fleece unites Medea and Jason in the holm oak grove at the foot of the mountain.
\nDemeter, chaste in the fruit-bearing garden. A few hundred meters further Dionysus in the lustful Bacchanal\u00a0with drumming fauns and teasing nymphs.
\nAs oblivious as the exploring children, we don’t even notice that we, too, celebrate a similar feast every\u00a0evening. To wash away the heat of the day with Malvasia, the heavy wine that came here from the Peleponnes\u00a0in ancient times.
\nCompanions united by nightly conversations near the sea.
\nAbout the sweet life, about plastic and other garbage, about flight and displacement.
\nThe morning after, again looking for the washed-up wings of Icarus and finding Penelope on a lonely\u00a0beach, spending her 20-year wait gazing into the distance through artful yoga.<\/p>\n

And then there’s Homer. He travels with us. Reads from the oldest books of mankind.
\nIn these encounters we invent songs. Our melodies meander\u00a0around the figures of ancient sagas.
\nSo that they may be inspired by them. May their Bronze Age splendour\u00a0illuminate our thoughts and sounds.
\nAnd that perhaps, in the passing, a little heroic gold dust may cling\u00a0to us all.<\/p>\n

A touch, at least.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
