Mitelli / Calcagnile / Mirra – “The Elephant”
Gabriele Mitelli: trumpet, voice, electronics
Pasquale Mirra: vibraphone, voice, electronics
Cristiano Calcagnile: drums, percussion, vocals
The Elephant was founded in 2017 and since then has an open dialogue with spaces, practices and people.
From the filmmakers collective Unzalab to the French Pavilion by Xavier Veilhan at Venice Biennale, from the most exciting Italian clubs and venues to the collaboration with incredible musicians like Rob Mazurek, Jeff Parker, Alexander Hawkins, Danilo Gallo, Chad Taylor and many others, they explore the lands between electronics, jazz, poetry, improvisation, noise and visuals.
Their first album “In the Room”, feat. Rob Mazurek, Damon Locks and Cristina Donà, has been released by Original Culture Records in early 2024, and will tour in an audio-visual performance, produced through a residency in Brescia.
