For a long time, Francesco Tristano has
behaved, musically, like a wild child making
fun of his parents supervision, and repeatedly
ran away from home to visit forbidden
locations. One only has to review last year s
agenda of concerts: in between solemn dates in
important venues all over the planet where he
interprets programs of baroque and
contemporary music, centring around composers
like Johann Sebastian Bach, Maurice Ravel,
George Gershwin or Dietrich Buxtehude on the
piano, are several commitments under the
epigraph `Francesco Tristano live . Those
escapes have little to do with classical
music; quite the opposite actually. They show
that Francesco s commitment to electronic
sounds remains as alive as when he started to
release his first ôdanceö records on InfinΘ,
even though over the last years he
consolidated his position as one of the most
requested pianists with one of the most
brilliant repertoires of his generation.

When Francesco Tristano escapes to a club, the
spirit which possesses him is the one of
Techno, specifically the original Detroit
sound. There, in the heat of the cabin, he
switches from piano to synthesizer, from
pedals to software and what flows out of the
speakers is a kind of music, which can only
fit in this hedonistic context and the
celebration of the body: expansive, rhythmic,
emotional, sprinkled with piano stabs and
unstoppable grooves. The material he uses is
typically self-composed and unreleased,
secretly produced in seclusion, to nurture a
musical discourse, which only makes sense if
it s carried out like some kind of jam
session, with the continuity of a DJ set,
without exactly being a classic DJ set. There
are transitions, but there are no mixes; and
if there are tracks by other artists, they
appear as elements facilitating the creation
of a live remix. And from this accumulated
experience, the idea and the content of volume
16 of the Body Language series was born.

Part of the Techno material Francesco Tristano
was working on over the last few months has
already appeared last December on the ôPiano,
Hats & Stabsö E.P., his first record for Get
Physical. Some of those tracks are re-
appearing now on ôBody Languageö in the form
they were originally intended to be: as
pieces, designed to fit into a much more
ambitious and complex construction. With the
exception of ôThe Harvestö û a Jazz classic,
identifiable as Proto-Techno, that opened Joe
Zawinul s album Dialects (1986), which
importance could be compared to Herbie
Hancock s ôRockitö, Francesco Tristano s
entire journey expresses itself in form of
original productions (ôOngakuö, ôJinguruö),
written in collaboration with other musicians.
Here we are listening for the first time to
ôAmnesieö, half-half with Luciano, or the new
project KhalifeSchumacherTristano, which was
born from the ashes of ôAufgangö and remixed
by Reboot û or material that was given to him
by partners of the label, friends and other
artists from his surroundings, like P41, aka
the sound engineer Edoardo Pietrogrande; or
Danton Eeprom, ex-partner in the InfinΘ days;
Cardopusher, neighbour in Barcelona; and also
M.A.N.D.Y., representatives of his new home-
label, Get Physical.

On a traditional DJ album, the added value
lies apart from the musical selection in the
bravery of the mix. In the case of Body
Language, the importance is not so much in the
beat-matching, but much rather in the key-
mixing. To round off the transitions of the
tracks, Francesco Tristano has deployed all
his musical wisdom, to add layers of
synthesizers and piano attacks all over the
place, to complete the rhythmic journey with a
dense harmonic richness. His own tracks are
born from piano grooves û you might even
notice some chords borrowed from the "Suite In
A Minor" by Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the
most important composers of the French baroque
û and are always expanding in the depth of
outer space. The result may sound familiar on
first listening, but it becomes deeper when
paying attention to the details and chord
progressions. The architecture of the
composition is actually quite surprising: Deep
House and Detroit 2.0 with a sonic density,
which is unknown in contemporary club music.
The expression that best describes the musical
philosophy of Francesco Tristano might be
ôBach to the Futureö. On Body Language there
is no Bach, but the future is constructing
itself minute by minute.
