about

Guitarists José Dias and Francesca Naibo created a two- volume album based on their musical correspondence across a period of nearly one year (2020-2021). This is not merely a remote collaboration triggered by lockdown, but an intense process of mutual discovery, respect, and cooperation. Dias sent Naibo a set of solo improvisations to which she replied with her own and vice-versa. The album track list is organised chronologically, where each track is the response to the previous solo or group of solos. Both musicians agreed that there would not be overdubbed tracks, as that would not correspond to the way the process was conducted. The album documents their mutual challenging and their personal experiences, with Dias based in Manchester and Naibo in Milan.

This is now the first volume of that process, released by Copperfly Records. Volume two will be released in October this year. Both volumes will be exclusively digital and can be downloaded at francescanaibo.bandcamp.com and josedias.bandcamp.com
