Oi Dialogoi: The Immense Acoustic Dialogue

Oi Dialogoi by Armando Bertozzi & Pericle Odierna is conceived as a total art event rooted in the millimeter-precise synchrony of bodies and breaths, representing an extraordinary uncompromising living work. It merges the philosophical speculation of Socratic and Platonic roots with instrumental archaeology, transforming silence and pauses into a punctuation made of frequencies, harmonies, and pure rhythm.

The Concept and the "Synesthetic Rituals"

Far more than a simple improvisation session, the album takes shape through true "synesthetic rituals." The deep synergy between Bertozzi and Odierna dissolves the boundary between composition and live performance, acting as decoders of universal laws where words are entirely replaced by sound.

The Instrumental Universe

• Armando Bertozzi (Drums & Historical Set): Abandons traditional setups to use an extraordinary drum kit composed of 19th- and 20th-century military and parade drums (28" poplar and brass bass drums), goat and sheepskin heads, snares with vegetable fiber tension rods, and unique handcrafted cymbals (including square models patented by Spizzichino in 1992).

  
  

• Pericle Odierna (Wind Instruments & Historical Keyboards): The multi-instrumentalist and Globo d'Oro winner ranges through rarities of invaluable museum grade: from a 1976 Buffet Crampon Bb clarinet to the basset horn, chalumeau (17th-century reproduction), Hungarian tárogató, clarinet d'amour in G, tenor recorder, 1940 King soprano saxophone, and Fender Rhodes Mark I (at times played simultaneously with the wind instruments).

Recording Philosophy and Spatial Realism

Recorded entirely live in a single acoustic environment at Nightingale Studios by sound engineer and producer Lorenzo Vella, the album rejects any digital artifice. The use of historic consoles and a fully analog tube signal chain delivers a deeply tangible soundstage, ideal for evaluating the transparency and three-dimensionality of High-End audio systems.

ORIGINAL ½-inch ANALOG TAPE STUDIO RECORDING

Oi Dialogoi represents a milestone in Birdbox Records' catalog: a work conceived to deliver uncompromising listening purity, reserved for the most demanding high-fidelity audiophiles. Inspired by the tradition of philosophical dialogue, the album unfolds as a profound musical conversation between Armando Bertozzi and Pericle Odierna: a poetic and dynamic interplay of sonic languages, timbres, and acoustic expressiveness.

The work comes to life through a strictly 100% analog production chain (AAA), from the original master tape down to the vinyl lacquer cutting, preserving intact the timbral naturalness, dynamic impact, and three-dimensionality of the original soundstage.
