Supraphon Release Information



Clarinet Factory and Alan Vitouš recorded an album for the first Modigliani exhibition in Prague during four evening live sessions. The music is inspired by paintings, drawings, but mainly by the life story of the Italian genius and his contemporaries, such as František Kupka. It was created on the basis of joint sound improvisations and bears the trace of a unique moment and the unusual sound of a cellar space. Like Modigliani’s portraits, the music on “Echoes of Colors” seeks to penetrate what is “behind the picture” into the human unconscious, into the human soul.

The clarinets and percussions tones sounding within this album were inspired by the works and life of the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani originally. The twelve, mostly improvised compositions have grown upon the Modigliani’s themes partially, some of which remind of the atmospheres of his life story (“Jeanne”, “Absinth”). The names of the other tracks originated around the titles of Kupka’s works (“Reminiscence of a Cathedral”, “Around a Point”), the last ones introduce the common scenes (“Clock”, “Dreaming in the Garden”).
