Riccardo Romano: 5 Haiku is the first solo release of the Italian Composer, here also guitarist and producer of the project. In this album he tries to investigate and compare two “not so-distant” cultures.
Each single Haiku, short in duration like the Japanese Poetry, want to express, in a snapshot, suggestions, charm and technical skills.
Composed using the strict rules of the homonymous Japanese poetry reinterpreted from a music perspective and combined with the main 5 harmonics Modus of the Chinese music tradition; this album is also a research to study similarities and differences between the electric guitar and the traditional stringed instruments of the Far East: the Guzheng and Guqin, both considered -in a certain way- an ancient grand-father of the actual western instrument.
