約二年の沈黙を破り一挙に4枚のアルバム+リミックス作品をリリースした〈MORPHINE RECORDS〉！こちらはレーベル主宰のRABIH BEAINIによるインプロヴィゼーションカルテットUPPERGROUND ORCHESTRAです！！
Rabih Beaini's Upperground Orchestra (Beaini, Alvise Seggi, Tommaso Cappellato. Piero Bittolo Bon) back with their first studio material since 2008.
Upperground Orchestra is the hybrid Jazz band of Rabih Beaini and his fellow musicians Tommaso Cappellato (drums), Piero Bittolo Bon (woodwinds/electronics) and Alvise Seggi (Bass / Oud). The band is returns with a new LP, years after "The Eupen Tapes". Euganea is a 5 tracks LP recorded during the Musica Veneta residency, promoted by FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) in the great context of Villa dei Vescovi. Working around Veneto music, the band developed pieces that merge deep roots of original fusion (tape music, electronics and synths, processing) with the free spiritual jazz sound of Upperground Orchestra.

これまでMORPHOSISという名義で活動し、最近では本名名義でDJやライブをしている〈MORPHINE RECORDS〉主宰のRABIH BEAINIによるバンドプロジェクトUPPERGROUND ORCHESTRA！RABIHによるエレクトロニクスに加え、ドラム、サックス、ベースの4人による編成にて2016年にイタリアの田舎で滞在性宅して作られたのがこちらの作品となります。JAZZ的なバックグラウンドを感じさせながらも、いい意味で別次元に向かうような電子音の絡み方や、RABIHの普段のDJからも聴けるような民族的/呪術的な要素も相まってとても稀有なものであると思います。 (日野)
