Leggerezza is a new project featuring Olga Mysłowska, Michał Pepol and Patryk Zakrocki, who present their musical interpretations of selected quotes from American Lessons – Italo Calvino’s poetical and philosophical testament. Combining the sound of cello, voice and prepared guitar, as well as their diverse musical experiences, Zakrocki, Pepol and Mysłowska create lyrical, contemplative moments musicaux, derived from improvisation, each illustrating a different excerpt from Calvino’s essays. Thus, the musicians seek balance between sound and breathing, between expressiveness and space.
