Poetry
and music, were the beginnings of Saffron Wood alias Lorenzo Scopelliti.
An assortment that had its beginnings in the early 90's with an exhibition
of sculpturestitled “indici di possibilita” ( idications of
possibilities). Poetry expressions through musica and sounds, It was the
summer of 92, when Saffron
dedicated himself..in days of culinary delights of greens at the
restaurant "Clorifilla" and in and the evenings rich with sound
and scuplture to prepare what would become “Nature Art” a multimedial
project, taking study throughtout nature, all internalized in a forest
where the multimedial creations would animate and lend themselves as
accomplices yet unconsiously. The love for this new found dimension
continues to inspire and produce ulterior fruits. They are tangilble
reflexions that has become the full cultural luggage of Lorenzo Scopelliti,
where he developed a decisive link to an esthetic and has refined the
music with elettronica and acoustics. It was in 1993 when the first single
titled “Deep Water” It is
was inserted in the compliation "The Promises of Silence" It was
a suite rendition of 9 intense minutes which are caught up in the profound
elements of water. Water has been one of the elements which has been
treated with the sensibility of Saffron Wood, that is everything that is
macroscopic, the innermost or the heart, it was most likely the ideal
expressiom for that period.The yielding rave results brought forth a
hiatus of more or less in the next years, a pause for meditaion that that
was not unfortunate at all, Lorenzo spent a period of three years in the
fascinating Brazilian and Amazon world, where he studied and learned new
music in those rich populations of the new frontier. After such a profilic
exhile he contacted his close collaborator Alessandro Mazzitelli,
important part in the first part of music of Saffron Wood . "Alessandro has been an excellent musical interlocutor and technic has also been a great friend of mine, we have many things in common. Another focal point in the maturity of certain music is owed to Thomas my older brother, that has always given me positive energy and enthusiasm." We
are like this and have arrived in a period less remot, Saffron decides to
return to his musical sound and new projects are intitiating, some of
which are theraputic sounds. “The Sleep of Seeds” was the first
expressive collaboration with Alio die (also a long time friend) that
finally immortalizes their meeting, diliniating a possible walk to come, (
a new future). The next projects will be a sole project and possibily
another collaboration with Alio Die again. Lorenzo Scopelliti plays
keyboards, and various acoustic instruments of ethic nature, with which he
refines every sort of sounds and atmospheres. Its lend themselves by
natural materials such as glass, wood , ceramic, bamboo, water, metal used
in opportune formula... again and away we go, but in particular to all the
nature that is part of the global world of flutes:
the bansuri, indian flutes, oboe and double axe,long canes with the
blow trumpet. He also uses digital recordings where he then reworks them
on his computer.
