My choice in inaugurating this new Fonè series with Rock’n’Roll Clown wasn’t by any means fortuitous. In fact, the choice of this album is extremely significant in understanding the intentions leading up the Nouvelle Serie: for some time I had been intending to work on a project which could somehow open up a new world of music which didn’t really fit in with my cultural background; this had always tended toward classical music. Naturally, I had no intention of renouncing in any way criteria of distinction on quality as far as music and its recording are concerned.There have been many problems, even more than anticipated, particularly for subtle reasons of qualities in a world where the product on cassette and pure musical research are very easily confused; the reason for this are not very academic way of playing and, even more, the great financial interests involved.in this context, the birth of the Rock’n’Roll Clown” project keeps pace with my intentions, precisely because it is a conscious search for an intelligent (but at the same time in no way intellectual) music. Beginning with the name, the implied theatrical element denotes a cultural thematic quality beyond the squalor which surrounds modern and so-called pop music, noticeable even to someone, like myself, who is ignorant of this subject: this desire, twigged with hedonism, never to abandon the attraction of a previously heard carry phrase; for even while continuing on the road of experimentation, which for too long has been province of a music often gratuitously cerebral, we are surrounded by an artistic and human dimension changed with new sensations.
