Paolo Fresu's Jazz Soundtrack Accompanies Giotto Exhibition in Venice
The exhibition 'Magister Giotto' at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice, running until November 5, 2017, features a special CD by trumpeter Paolo Fresu. The CD, titled like the show, serves as an art catalog, hand-printed and assembled, with a rich booklet. Fresu selected tracks from his Tǔk Music label, founded in 2010, featuring cover art by illustrators like Olimpia Zagnoli, Mimmo Paladino, and Carla Accardi, and added original compositions to create an immersive audio-visual journey. The project was born from a meeting with artistic director Luca Mazzieri. Fresu aimed to blend contemporary jazz with Giotto's imagery, using acoustic and electronic sounds to evoke spatiality. The CD is available at the exhibition bookshop and on digital platforms. Fresu also launched a new sub-label, 'Tǔk Art', dedicated to music projects linked to visual art.
