Aperion is an ancient Greek word meaning “boundless” or “formless
substance” first described by the ancient Greek philosopher
Anaximander.
The Aperion Project is devoted to the production, recording and
performing of various forms of music. Consisting of two musicians -
Brandon Rizzo (trumpet/flugelhorn/keyboard) and Gabe Patti
(saxophones) - the musical output of The Aperion Project ranges from
live improvised music to electro-acoustic studio projects.
Gods, Demigods and Demons came together over about a 6-8 month
period:
01 Icelos is a minor deity from Greek mythology.
02 Newtrackmello was created spontaneously at the keyboard,
semi-derived from a piece of music by Erik Satie
03 Black Narcissus was composed over 10 years ago, it is a modal
piece based off the Phrygian mode in AABBAA form, each section of
the form being 6 bars long.
04 Satellite Motion goes out to DJ Motion
05 The Fermi Paradox is an idea put forth by Enrico Fermi concerning
extraterrestrial life
06 Parallax of One Arc Second is longhand for Parsec which is an
astronomical measure of distance. This piece was recorded and
improvised in one sitting.
