AN AFTERNOON WITH ZIGGY

Deconstructing David Bowie’s music to reconstruct David Robert Jones’s artistic legacy. Pierpaolo Martino (double bass, tapes) and Enrico Merlin (electric guitar) staged a show inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen’s example but also by the pure joy of revealing the pop power of Bowie’s music. The spectators’ ears opened up towards new horizons when the duo revived Ziggy Stardust’s epic from those “dismantled elements”: everything that was not clear before is now recomposed and prepared for a sonic understanding. David Bowie was probably watching the performance at La Corte dei Miracoli and nodding his head.
