Il gruppo folk melodico familiare Casa Alemanno è composto dai fratelli Riccardo e Francesca. Nasce nell'ambito dell'iniziativa "L'impresa dei MILLE" sviluppatasi dalla trasmissione radiofonica Melog (Radio 24) e il social network Facebook, su iniziativa di Gianluca Nicoletti, che ha invitato il duo a realizzare musiche e parole per l'adattamento teatrale La macchina per entrare e uscire dal mondo, tratte da alcuni racconti dell'ultima pubblicazione di Bitser Scarfiotti "Le vostre miserie il mio splendore". Nella vita di tutti i giorni i fratelli Alemanno svolgono attività distanti dal mondo della musica che, pertanto, rappresenta un impegno amatoriale e frutto di pura passione artistica. |

In 1994, Jonathan Wells famously launched the film festival RESFest at a Christmas party in his San Francisco basement, when he showed a few friends some skate videos by a not-yet-mainstream director named Spike Jonze. RESFest quickly escalated into a global phenomenon – a decade later it had spawned the monthly culture magazine RES, a series of screenings in 18 countries a year, even a distinct and recognizable aesthetic that transcended film, bleeding into the tangential industries of music, art and design (people actually say "That is so RES"). When he announced the sale of RES, FuelTV snapped him up to curate last September's Swerve Festival, a new two-day L.A. event celebrating film, art and action sports.
And this all happened by accident" says Wells by way of explaining his uncanny ability to latch onto the cultural zeitgeist! |
